BANNER DAY FOR MARCUS VICK!

First he informs the world that his girl got herpes at the hands (genitals?) of LeSean McCoy. And now TMZ releases video from April showing Vick running from police and then being arrested at gunpoint:

It all started at a gym in Newport News, Virginia — when cops were questioning the 32-year-old about a warrant out for his arrest stemming from a civil case.

Vick spoke with cops for nearly 10 minutes before suddenly deciding to make a run for it — shoving 2 cops out of the way, breaking tackles — and SPRINTING down the street.

Cops gave chase … but Vick is WAYYYYYYY FASTER (he ran a 4.42 in the 40 at the 2006 NFL Combine).

It seemed like he was going to get away — but the cops stayed with him, and Vick eventually tired out … sat down on the ground and gave himself up.

Few things here:

  1. Why didn’t the cops just throw a zone defense at him? That pretty much stopped his football career in its tracks.
  2. I’ve never ran from the cops so I wouldn’t know, but why on Earth would you run IN A STRAIGHT LINE?!?! Like no matter how fast you are, and no matter how many doughnuts your arresting officer just ate, you’re never going to get away if you just go in one direction. There were countless parking lots and opportunities for Vick to zag when the officers could literally only zig. Anyone who’s ever had gotten two stars in GTA knows that.
  3. Vick made it four blocks before he got winded and gave himself up. Four blocks. Don’t do drugs, kids.
