`
`Viva La Stool! MY INFO WAS SOLID!!! Miami Herald Now
`
`Reporting What I Said Earlier. Vick In Town And Working Out!
`

`Be the flrst of your friends to like this.
`
`Miamiherald - Three years ago, the idea ofMichael Vick and Tom Brady on the same roster would have been
`unfathomable. Today, it could become a reality. Vick is currently working outfor the Patriots staff at Gillette
`Stadium, a very reliable NFL sourcejust told me. The source said, as of 3.'30p.m., Vick was on thefield
`attempting to display that he remains one of the most athletic players the NFL had seen prior to his arrest.
`Keep in mind, I’ve kept a close eye on ProFootballTalk.com, and] also read Tom Curran is comments about the
`matter (“You can rule out thatMichael Vick is in the building with the Patriots now. You can also rule out that
`he was there earlier in the day or that he will be there later. ”) As a result, [have continued to peck at my
`source, asking the person multiple times in multiple conversations to check and re-check the information. And
`while I have the utmost respect for Curran is reporting, I ’m now comfortable enough to go with this based on a
`forwarded e-mail I receivedfrom that source. A second source has now also confirmed it.
`
`Viva La Stool bitches! My sources have never relented either. In fact I’Ve been promised a photo ofVick at
`Pats HQ’s around 7pm taken by a Stoolie snitch.
`I’Ve also had 4 or 5 more confirmed reports.
`I just hadn’t
`published them in light of the Tom Curran thing. But unless the Miami Herald and all these readers are fucking
`with me, Vick is in town.
`
`PS — I feel like I bet a horse that is staggering to the finish line in the lead and I’m just hoping he can hang on and
`win by a nose.

`
`The entire New England sports press corp is in Foxborough. How did he slip past?
`
`Why does no one have a picture? Why are all accounts of him being their from a buddy, a source but no
`first hand accounts?
`
`He isn’t there. Why is anyone even excited about this when the Pats have the greatest QB of all time?

`Would be awesome to just base a “wildcat" style package off of him. Just tell him, “You can come, but
