Pro Bowl wide receiver Roddy White was at his former quarterback,¬† Michael Vick’s birthday party last night and he didn’t hesitate to comment about the shooting which took place at about 2:15am in the morning.
“We were already gone by the time that stuff started happening, so I don’t know what’s going to go on with that or whatever, but we didn’t have anything to do with it,” White said earlier today at a football camp.
I hope this is the truth for Vick’s sake because NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made it clear that Vick had very little room for making any mistakes after he allowed him back in the league.
This should serve as a warning to Vick about going to any night clubs for any reasons.  If anything happens at the place, his name will be in the headlines the next day and it could jeopardize his career in the NFL.
The NFL and the Eagles aren’t making any comments until they find out the details about the incident.¬† Here’s the released statement by the Eagles.
“We are aware of the incident that occurred in Virginia early this morning and are in the process of gathering all of the facts. Until then, we will not have any comment on this matter.”
If Vick were somehow involved, that would be a huge blow to the Eagles, from both a public relations standpoint as well as a potential Vick suspension.
Can’t recall which news source, but it stated last night that the police said that they had no interest in Vick. In other words, they knew enough that he was not involved. Seems Roddy White has confirmed it. I have no problem if the Eagles or Goodell want to “be sure”; they have vested interested in being sure the guy avoided trouble.
Dang… wish this site had edit feature for poster…. “vested interest”
