NFL: Marcus Vick in trouble again
A judge in Virginia has ordered the arrest of Marcus Vick after he missed a court hearing in a civil case. Vick was to appear at a hearing Monday in Montgomery County Circuit Court to explain why he missed a February hearing.
Marcus, the younger brother of Eagles quarterback Michael, was dropped from the Virginia Tech team in 2006 and the Dolphins released him in 2007.
The Giants brought Julian Edelman in for a visit and seemed to have a good shot at signing the talented punt returner/wide receiver. But Edelman will be re-signing a one-year deal with the Patriots, according to reports.
