Frank Beamer doesn't know if Michael Vick was involved in an illegal pit-bull dog-fighting operation but he knows it's time for his former star quarterback to be much more careful about the company he keeps. "I talked to him at the NFL draft," the Virginia Tech football coach told The Post. "I told him, 'If you're around, you're involved,' " continued Beamer. "People don't care about those other people. They're not going to write about them, but they'll write about you. I think that's just him. He's a very caring person about people, and he's got a big, big heart."

yeah, a HUGE heart...he insists on hooking up people even if it means breaking the law! What a guy! A hero! Gimme a break

Why would Vick bother listening to a college coach? He doesn't even listen to his NFL coaches.

July 12, 2007  06:57 AM ET

Vick probably doesn't even remember this guy.

Frank Beamer is close mentor to him, that doesn't change when you get to the NFL, look at how many players credit high school and college coaches for their success!

July 12, 2007  08:26 AM ET

such a mentor that his words of wisdom have really stuck with Vick

July 12, 2007  08:28 AM ET

yeah... that's a big heart that he has as he sets up his cousin with a $1,000,000 lawyer and makes arrangements for him to take the fall so that the cash machine can keep it coming for the posse....

Vick showed his big heart with that massive donation he gave to VT after the tragedy.... remember - .01% of his salary.... and probably .005% of his yearly income...

Thanks Frank. I'm sure that was groundbreaking advice. You area genius.

July 12, 2007  08:42 AM ET

why is it every player that gets arrested say they are going to cut out the losers that get them in trouble (Scapegoats) & then cut off their braids. WTF? What does that mean? SOmeone please enlighten me on this, & then Pacman & Tank Johnson still get in trouble, its a joke, dont just change your look, change your lifestyle...Idiots...why work to make all this money & the **** it up?

July 12, 2007  08:52 AM ET

Huge Heart??? Are you serious? How is it possible someone who enjoys watching dogs rip themselves apart is considered to have a big heart? He's not giving money to the humane society he's betting his money on dog fights

According to our data there is a preponderance of recent postings contending that we are internet losers.

(And we are.)

"* a very caring person about people, and * got a big, big heart."

That's what everyone says about my mentally retarded half-grandmother.

July 12, 2007  10:38 AM ET

I guess this whole Michael Vick escapade ruins his brother's chances of getting picked up after his release from the Fins this offseason.

July 12, 2007  10:38 AM ET

I'm sorry that I have to ask this question but, what exactly is a "half-grandmother"?

July 12, 2007  10:39 AM ET

A very big heart and a very small brain.

July 12, 2007  11:09 AM ET

Which half?

July 12, 2007  11:32 AM ET

good one Grogseal

July 12, 2007  11:36 AM ET

Right on JoeBlowMe.....I thought people with big hearts treated all living things with respect. When I think of Big Heart, I think of Mother Theresa.....m. vick never comes to mind.

Is this news anymore? Anything that they can find about Vick, Pac, or Tank will be put on this site. Give me a break. He didn't say anything that hasn't already been said twelve different ways.
