Michael Blumenthal...Smart Like Dump Truck

"Vick's lawyer told a bankruptcy court today that Vick plans on working 40 hours a week in construction when he gets out of the pokey. (LOLOL, good luck pal...get a grip...do you have any idea how many people are out of work, and ahead of you in the get-a job line?)

“You will hear from Mr. Vick his future intentions, how he’s going to change the way he lives his life,” his lawyer, Michael Blumenthal, told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro.

Vick is serving a 23-month sentence for bankrolling a dogfighting ring, and his bankruptcy plan is based on the goal of returning to a professional football career. He briefly left a federal prison in Kansas to attend the hearing. He’s scheduled to be released from custody in July, but could be sent to home confinement in late May. (Home? where does this joker live...last I heard his multi-million dollar crib was in foreclosure.)

Blumenthal said when Vick is released, he plans to work 40 hours a week for a construction company. (Again, who would hire this moron?...I wouldn't even give the guy a chance to clean up dog shit at a kennel...wait, he should not be allowed to even go within 5 feet of man's best friend.)

He did not disclose the wage or give any other details about the type of work that Vick will be performing.

I'm not sure I get it. Financially, I'd think the better option would be to spend as much time as possible training and getting back in NFL game shape. Granted, I don't know much about the construction industry, but I'm pretty sure NFL players still make much more money. Planning and preparing to resume the ol' NFL career seems to me to be a better long-term financial strategy. (Blumenthal...Vick's football career is OVER...get it pal...O-V-E-R. Buy a VOWEL...Find another player to represent. Lawyers...some sure live on fantasy island, me thinks.)

Maybe the construction gig is about public relations, though. (Ya think? Blumenthal...Smart like dump-truck.)Maybe this is something Vick has to do, or something his people want him to do, to give the impression that he can be a normal guy and is willing to work a nine-to-five just like anyone else.

Whatever the case, I hope it all works out for him. And I'll give him a call if I need someone to build a deck for me. (Blumenthal...you are a moron.)
