Is Marcus Vick Cursed?

I saw a brief bit on SportsCenter tonight where they chatted with Marcus Vick regarding his troubles off-the-field. What'd he say? That he's run into bad luck, a curse of sorts. I find this hard to believe. If Vick had been walking down the street and an underage gal walked out of a bar with a beer in her hand right as a police car pulled up and they assumed she was with Vick. Vick then gets charged with distributing to the delinquency of a minor. Then, he's driving along the highway, gets pulled over and the cops magically find marijuana in the glove box that Vick didn't know about. Vick then stands outside a McDonald's, reaches in his pocket to find the wallet he thought was in there and instead, pulls out a gun. My, my, my, if all those far-fetched stories were true, then okay, he did run into some bad luck. But, what are the odds of those stories being true? Could it be true that the marijuana wasn't his? Yes. Could it be true that he didn't buy the liquor for the gals and had nothing to do with them drinking it? Yes. I don't know how he can excuse the gun incident, though. Sorry Marcus, you may have run into a bit of bad luck, but you have to take some responsibility and learn from these incidents. If you had one incident, I'd be much more forgiving, but three separate incidents? It gets harder and harder to believe it's just a string of bad luck. Come on Marcus. Straighten up, learn from those mistakes, and fulfill your great potential at the next level. Don't be another Maurice Clarett.
