The Real Story About Vick’s Prison Football
Apparently, according to this ESPN story, Mike Vick is the popular pick to play QB in prison football:
But there’s more to the story. According to sources, Vick’s passer rating in prison is only 76.3, he has yet to throw a 4th-quarter TD pass, and there is increasing unrest among the inmates that Vick be benched in favor of Algernon “Bubba” Maroni, who last quarterbacked his high school team in Glendale, Arizona before getting sent up on armed robbery charges.
“We think he’d make a great running back”, said offensive tackle Vern Thomas, doing life for cocaine distribution, “but he’s having a difficult time picking up the blitzing schemes, and he’s consistently overthrowing our receivers.”
This phrase comes from the 1978 "Jonestown massacre" in which most members of the Peoples Temple cult, blindly following their leader Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.
