Eagles Deny Vick Will Be Released

Virginia Beach police investigation ongoing

For right now, the Philadelphia Eagles say Mike Vick isn't in hot water following a shooting that happened at his birthday party and released the following statement:

"Following the incident that occurred in Virginia on the morning of June 25, Michael and his representatives promptly contacted law enforcement agencies, the Philadelphia Eagles and the National Football League. The Eagles were provided with very detailed information during that discussion as to what took place at the event. Those details have not changed in any way over the course of the last week. Our investigation to this point has confirmed and has been consistent with the information that was originally communicated to us.

"Furthermore, any report or speculation that suggests the Eagles are considering releasing Vick are not true. We will continue to gather information and monitor the situation and we will not have any further comment until that process is complete."

Investigation details still fuzzy

There's no reason for the Eagles to jump the gun (er, sorry) about all of this, but you have to wonder about the specifics of the case. Somebody gets shot just minutes after Vick leaves the party? And the victim was tied to the dog ring fiasco? Could be a crazy coincidence, but it just seems fishy.
