Marcus Vick, the former Miami Dolphin and younger brother of Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, is in the news again, for the wrong reasons.

And, really, when was the last time Marcus Vick was in the news for the right reasons?

Vick is in the news at the moment because, according to the Roanoke Times, he failed to appear for another court hearing in Montgomery County, Virginia, and a judge issued a warrant for his arrest. Vick has skipped multiple court dates over his failure to pay the $40,000 he promised to a woman who sued him in 2008.

You’d think if a judge had issued a warrant for your arrest you’d want to lie low, but Vick hasn’t done that. Instead, Vick has been making waves for a bizarre comment he made on Twitter, appearing to suggest that players on the Arizona Cardinals are gay.

Marcus Vick ripped the Eagles on Twitter last season, prompting his brother to give him a stern talking to. Now Michael may need to have another talk with Marcus.
