Anyone who watched football ever should know he had a brother. It would be like not knowing theres a 3rd manning brother. Or not knowing ray lewis lost his white suit
Right like he always exposing himself that he's just a casual fan, he has a good work ethic and consistently puts out videos with above average quality so I get why people watch his videos, even I do every now and then but very rarely because he clearly doesn't know shit about football he's as casual a fan as they come he just does this to pay his bills so of course he spends alot of time doing homework on his videos he makes. Who wouldn't though, let me see.. work 40+ hours a week breaking your back for barely any money.. or making youtube videos from your house that pay you very well based on the views of little kids who don't know any better. . Dude doesn't know shit about football you can tell by what he says in his videos that either he just started watching football or he just has been a casual fan his whole life and watched the game here and there but now he does his homework on websites reading articles, watching other youtubers speak on the game, etc.
Ikr.. I'm an Oklahoma fan but I always played with Virginia Tech just because of Marcus Vick. Oklahoma was my #1 but Virginia Tech was my #2 on NCAA football 04

Shhhhhh He stole so much out of Atlanta Airport the police had his phone number and called him to bring stuff back... This I watched them do. Literally
Marcus had a lot of talent, but was plagued with immaturity. All he had to do was keep his nose clean and show up to class and play and he would have been a first round pick; likely in the top 10.
I’m about to turn 28 and I didn’t know about him. I wasn’t really following College Football much until around 2006 though which is a year after his career ended.
Marcus Vick the football player could've been better than Mike. Excellent arm talent, great speed, agility snd toughness. Just couldn't stop f'n up. Entitlement was real.
No he NEVER could have been better than his brother. He never showed that capability. He had potential. Some great coach said something like potential means you haven’t done anything yet. Little Vick had lots of potential. It did NOTHING for him.
@@josebrown5961he easily could’ve been better than his brother wtf are you talking about. Marcus had way better accuracy as a passer and the same arm talent. All Vick was for the longest time was a glorified running back. His accuracy didnt even get good till after prison which i always wondered why. But Marcus had the better all around talent. He was just as good at scrambling to. Probably just a step slower but not by much. Marcus could’ve easily been better than mike just because of how much better accuracy he had
@@Tampafan33So you can read a stat sheet. I don’t know about you sir but I have played the game and I know that no game has ever been won by looking at a stat sheet. Games are won on the field, and secondly by handling your personal business. He never had a shot at his brother because he never could keep his head in the right place! How could he put a team on his back and carry them to victory if he also had an underaged girl there as well? Football is and always has been a sport of keeping your nose clean. I played RB behind one of my state’s best backs. Nobody ever heard about him because he couldn’t keep his nose clean. He went from the belle of the ball to a nobody as soon as the season was over. They just got tired of covering for his butt. Coaches all of a sudden said he was “uncoachable,” they even expelled him from his last semester of high school. That stellar RB never touched a football field again. The Vick boys also had problems. Don’t forget about his brother and the dog bullsh*t. Now I personally think they did him like my friend from high school. They could have flipped him and used his organization to root out others and save hundreds of dogs. But they had a black man to get big headlines and they ruined his career. Yes they saved some dogs but they could have saved more and gotten more people, they just took the quick route. And Michael managed to salvage something of his career, what about Marcus? I went a little crazy there but the lil brother was never going to eclipse his big brother because he had all sorts of off the field stuff. It would have been nice to see him try but it never got there.
You drive me nuts sometimes with your commentary, but it's all worth it in the end. Great work. Every. Single. Time. You're a budding legend my friend.
I do remember Marcus. I also was stationed at Norfolk in the service and drove through the bad part of Hampton one time and it was boarded up windows and crack houses. It was around 8 am or I may not be here. How Michael Vick and Allen Iverson got out of there is a miracle. You can take someone out of the hood but it's hard to get the hood out of them.
A lot of ppl knew Michael Vick had brother. Especially if you’re in your 30s and watched college football back in the day. Not to mention that viral video of Marcus Vick running from the cops 😂
Another great job covering an athlete that I was curious as to whatever happened to them 👍🏻💯 I'd like to suggest a couple of players for you to, potentially, cover in your upcoming videos 👀 1st player: Ramonce Taylor; RB for the University of Texas in the mid 2000's 2nd player: Cierre Wood; RB for Notre Dame in the late 2000's/early 2010's Keep up the good work! I look forward to your next video 👏🏻 Hook Em! 🤘🏻
It’s incredible how this story plays out the same hundreds of times for talented athletes every year. Low impulse control, high time preference, bad decision making.
@@nicklazzaro5055 if it were an age thing, we would expect to see behavioral changes as they age. You need look no further than his brother to see how he matured past his teens.
Would also love to see you do a video on Aldon Smith & Rolando McClain and him they were some dang good defensive players they definitely left some money on the table
It pretty simple, the recruiting coordinator said it... when he recruited Michael they lived in a very modest household but when he recruited Marcus they were living it up.... Marcus was spoiled and knew no matter how bad he screwed up he had Michael's money to fall back on..
You’re VERY young Matt, before your time buddy. But you’re correct, there’s people who don’t know. this was an excellent introduction and well made, you put the story together in a very informative, chronological way, but your passion comes through and you make the story entertaining. Nicely done young man.
Can you do a video on Peter Warrick former Bengal and FSU wr. I think he was a top 5 pick. Could have won a hiesman but had off field troubles in college.
This was told admirably & humorously & in some exasperated moments, I had to laugh myself, just because I used to LIKE football, (& baseball & basketball) growing up in Vick’s old team’s hometown. Sportsmanship apparently means less than dirt in ‘24. But it’s NICE to hear a brief bio as narrated by someone who, somehow, still respects the game! What I cannot possibly laugh about, though, is the absolute obvious social imprisonment of anybody surnamed “Vick.” WHO, specifically, besides their stepdad, ever mentored these young men?? Has either of them ever been examined for CTE or for any other concussion-related conditions? NEITHER of them seems to have EVER MET an individual NOT using them both as cash cows, as wagons to hitch themselves onto & as “properties” to exploit, to rip-off, to abuse, in some manner or the other. I understand a little something about Sports as some hometown’s “industry,” as Entertainment, & as an actual vocation for (mostly, STILL) poor individuals with very little academic acumen-from which major franchises to THIS DAY, are still recruiting, scouting, & reeling-in “the talent” 100 years after Cy Young, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, & Satchel Paige got their starts. As comically-told as this story is, and as idiotically as both Vick men may conduct their lives & their business-dealings, when compared against Others of superior caste, who (almost) always have their lives “turned around” FOR them by some benevolent-minded “angelic savior” stepping-in to refuse to let THEM go down like that, where’s the Vicks’ saving superwoman or superman?? And WHAT on Earth are they waiting for?!? I’m not talking about individual “accountability & responsibility.” That’s just down to individuals & is NEVER a completed depiction of events over an arc of decades. There is NOTHING they’ve done to have “deserved” NO seriously conscientious intervention-not enabling & abetting dysfunction. Yet all they’ve ever experienced, according to their own accounts as read by me-not as has apparently occurred to EITHER of them-are sharks, circling all around them, in every quarter of their personal contact, with their hands/flipper-fins STUCK OUT for money!! Absurd! Almost impossible, in The NFL of today, with all of its majestical magnitude ruling over so many people’s lives & wallets. Never “just works-out this way” for managers, executives, owners. They’re NEVER without “respectability” & access to vetted, vaunted, highly-recommended support, help, advancements. YET, knowing the impoverishment from which they’ve culled their “ownerships,” KNOWING these men & in some cases, women in off-field roles, have specific disadvantages going-in, they have put NOTHING substantial in-place to prevent harmful and malicious-minded trolling swindlers from slipping in their talons & draining them DRY. It wouldn’t have cost them a DIME to have had mentorship (NOT just some coaches) already intact & ready to roll-out as soon as these young people sign some contract. Or within the colleges’ structured academics programs to PREVENT the insanity, the conning, the hustling & grifting they KNOW these kids are up against!! Paying a 17-yr-old $3M for marijuana & some WHAT “anytime she wanted it!!” This leads me to conclude what every “recruit” ought to be seriously truthfully-educated to suspect & to surmise: the grifters kick-back something TO the franchise owners OR they’re all in on the SCAM together, in silent partnership, in cahoots, in collusion. These local hoodlums & scammers, grifters & bloodsuckers aren’t “unknown” & “without record” within law enforcement. WHY aren’t any of these hangers-on & leeches who wind their ways into players’ pockets checked-out BY the teams, especially teams that are more like an army platoon?? BECAUSE these “communities” fundamentally resent the very idea of paying “those people” anything. It’s not that they want what they (THINK the athletes) “have,” it’s just that they don’t want THEM to have it. Obviously, in the Vick brothers’ case, it’s a very logical & reasonable conclusion. It SHOULD be codified into every player’s playbook & so should the Vicks’ results be-as object lessons on what should NEVER be done & who should NEVER be contacted by ANY Nonwhite & underprivileged athlete or entertainer-no matter “how entertaining” they are being misled to believe it is. Really, the only dynamic that ever existed between them & the NFL & VirginiaTech, the only arrangements made possible BY the NFL & VaTech, & in ALL systemic relationships, ultimately, were & are STILL all tacky, trashy, terroristic, & tragic in ‘24-by systemic design. ⚖️🌱🍀🌸🍀🌸🍀
The one video that shows my age…😅😅😅. I was a huge fan of Marcus and all of the hype that came along with him. When he signed with VT I was so excited to see what he would do, mind you I am a Hurricanes fan. I was expecting him to absolutely kill it at VT. Then he signs with the my local team (the Dolphins), man I was so excited to see him. His football story has to be one of the saddest ones
Old Frank Beamer could call up the Montgomery County jail and have many of these guys released without any further action taken on his player's charges.
Matt, love your takes.. I'll try Again. Would love hearing you do a video on the late great Derrick Thomas R.I.P. Never saw anyone faster off the line. Everyone says LT but me? No, no.. I'd take Derrick Thomas.
Obviously the year suspended means he was put on a years probation. Which subsequently lead later to his violation of probation. He didn't have some great lawyer the punishments he was given are all pretty standard.
U should really do one on Maurice claret running back from Ohio state 18 years old started as a running back won a national championship and his career went down from there!!❤
Do Ahmad Brooks next.. I went to C.D. Hylton High School and dude was a complete stud, all the way to the point of getting picked in the supplemental draft after getting kicked out of UVa ..

WHY aren’t any of these hangers-on & leeches who wind their ways into players’ pockets checked-out BY the teams, especially teams that are more like an army platoon??
BECAUSE these “communities” fundamentally resent the very idea of paying “those people” anything. It’s not that they want what they (THINK the athletes) “have,” it’s just that they don’t want THEM to have it.
Obviously, in the Vick brothers’ case, it’s a very logical & reasonable conclusion. It SHOULD be codified into every player’s playbook & so should the Vicks’ results be-as object lessons on what should NEVER be done & who should NEVER be contacted by ANY Nonwhite & underprivileged athlete or entertainer-no matter “how entertaining” they are being misled to believe it is.
Really, the only dynamic that ever existed between them & the NFL & VirginiaTech, the only arrangements made possible BY the NFL & VaTech, & in ALL systemic relationships, ultimately, were & are STILL all tacky, trashy, terroristic, & tragic in ‘24-by systemic design. ⚖️🌱🍀🌸🍀🌸🍀
Well said
I’m from Va Newport News to be exact. Marcus started feeling himself when Ookie went pro. People couldn’t tell him anything
Amen where you been
Possibly do a Vince Young episode? That was some real world crazy right there. Very sad.
You should try a video on Duron Carter. Former Bama player who was thought to be the next Julio after Julio left.
The one video that shows my age…😅😅😅. I was a huge fan of Marcus and all of the hype that came along with him. When he signed with VT I was so excited to see what he would do, mind you I am a Hurricanes fan. I was expecting him to absolutely kill it at VT. Then he signs with the my local team (the Dolphins), man I was so excited to see him. His football story has to be one of the saddest ones
What’s funny is one of the cops who chased him said and I quote “If he ran I knew we weren’t gonna catch him.”
I’m not sure if u heard of him but u should do Martez Ivey he was the #2 Recruit in 2015 Behind Trenton Thompson
Do video on James Stewart when played for Tennessee Volunteers.
Old Frank Beamer could call up the Montgomery County jail and have many of these guys released without any further action taken on his player's charges.
Matt, love your takes.. I'll try Again. Would love hearing you do a video on the late great Derrick Thomas R.I.P. Never saw anyone faster off the line. Everyone says LT but me? No, no.. I'd take Derrick Thomas.
Derrick thomas is amazing him & LT are so good in different ways.
Derrick Thomas was a beast but LT is in a category all his own. Maybe you could throw Reggie White in there too
Can you please talk about the 2007 college football season
What about a story on Denard Robinson?
Darrell Scott
The #1 Running back in 2008 recruiting class
Obviously the year suspended means he was put on a years probation. Which subsequently lead later to his violation of probation. He didn't have some great lawyer the punishments he was given are all pretty standard.
U should really do one on Maurice claret running back from Ohio state 18 years old started as a running back won a national championship and his career went down from there!!❤
I had a Virginia tech Marcus Vick jersey in hs I was a huge fan of him growing up I always wondered what happened to him
@matt can you do a video on Michigan state wideout Charles rodgers
Yo that’s a name I ain’t heard in forever
@@puffdutchtwo I always wondered what happened to him
@@brandonjones1989 same here he was bigger than most WR and talented for sure
@@puffdutchtwo right tall and fast!!! Hopefully Matt see this and do a video on Charles
He never had to deal with any consequences so he kept breaking the law. Shocker...
Austin Box... good Ou linebacker who got addicted to pain pills and passed away. Great player and guy.
Can you do a video on Lawrence Taylor
How in the fuck did you play football an didn’t know he had a brother im dead 😂
I seen them both play and I can say Marcus had potential to do big things
Do a video on AJ Johnson (Tennessee Linebacker)
I remember watching him play on TV. He had talent and couldn't stay out of trouble
He was nice I saw him and Mike play against Pitt back in the early 2000’s
Do Ahmad Brooks next.. I went to C.D. Hylton High School and dude was a complete stud, all the way to the point of getting picked in the supplemental draft after getting kicked out of UVa ..
8:58 the crazy thing about this is Mike Vick was literally in his prime at the exact same time all this was going on with Marcus, madden cover and everything.
“Mc freaking Donald’s” had me rolling 😂
When. I would play NCAA I would always pick tech cause I loved playing Marcus Vick was awesome
A time where a defense could actually play defense and hit players
I haven't watched the video yet but I remember him being with the Dolphins at one point
Have you done a vid about Tommie Frazier? He was a beast!!
His brother was off the ⛓️😆😆💯
