A Straight Floridian Gets the Boot

Super Duber 2004 High School All-American recruit Willie Williams has been kicked off of the Louisville Cardinals football squad for breaking a deal with athletic director Tom Jurich. Apparently Williams promised not to drive down the street blasting music and when pulled over by cops for this infraction he promised not to have weed or try to hid it by putting it in his mouth. That is just an educated guess though.

Things have gone down hill quick in Louisville since Bobby Petrino left to deal with the circus that is the Atlanta Falcons. Not only have they lost twice but they have had to deal with a linebacker that the University of Miami would not admit because he was too much of a thug/criminal. I guess 11 arrests as a teenager are not enough of a hint to the Cardinals that they should not waste a scholarship on him. Well it seems they have figured it out now...

There is Something About Va Tech...

Former Hokie and current Atlanta Falcon DeAngelo Hall had some trouble this weekend covering Steve Smith. He decided to take it out on the referees costing his team 67 yards on three penalties on the game winning drive for the Carolina Panthers. According to AllHipHop.com, and that site has to have real news, he was beaten up in the locker room immediately after the game for his actions on the game winning drive. A more credible source Kissing Suzy Kolber also reports it so it is confirmed.

This is the same DeAngelo Hall that was not allowed to participate in post bowl game workouts by Frank Beamer due to poor behavior in the bowl game. That's a wow, Va Tech, the school with Michael Vick Hall, turning its back on a player (and yes, Michael Vick Hall is a hell of a pun). Or was that Jimmy Williams? They are all bad citizens so whatever.

Falcons coach Bobby Petrino says that Hall will be disciplined for his actions. Here is a link with a video clip inside showing Hall in action.

Michael Vick - Heavyweight

So now ESPN has done some investigative reporting and has found a 'Dog Fight Trainer' that has fought his dog against Michael Vick's dog in the past. In 2000 the trainer, who remained anonymous in the article, claims that Vick is known as a 'heavyweight' in the dog fighting arena. For those of you that have never been to a fight, that means he brings a quality dog to fight and lays down a lot of cash to bet on his dog. The source estimates $30,000-$40,000 a fight.

In the fight in 2000 which Vick's animal lost, he reportedly laid down at least $5,000 on his animal. For those of you keeping track at home that is half of $10,000 which is what he gave to the families of the Virginia Tech shootings.

"Yo Marcus, I'm dropping mad cash on Rex Saturday night. He is gonna tear'em up." - Michael
"Ballin!" - Marcus

They will be airing the story with the trainer Tuesday at 3:30 EST on Outside the Lines. Can't wait.
