Michael Vick's Super Bowl party has its own movie trailer

Michael Vick is hosting a Super Bowl party in Dallas on Friday night and like any good party, it has its own movie trailer:

(How did Vick's people get the rights to use game footage and the Super Bowl trademark in that promo? Shouldn't the NFL lawyers be swarming on that?)

There's been some handwringing over Vick throwing a party (you know, because he's an ex-convict), but if he's going to host an event anywhere, isn't having one in Dallas two days before the Super Bowl a pretty safe bet? If Vick is ever going to get in trouble again (and I'm not saying he will), I doubt it's going to be at a high-profile event that he's hosting during the biggest football weekend of the year.

Plenty of security measures are reportedly in place to ensure that nothing does happen, from off-duty SWAT team members to an NFL security detail to metal detectors at the door.    

Is it the best move for his image to do this? Probably not, just like it wasn't a great idea for Ben Roethlisberger to be out drinking at a piano bar until 1:15 a.m. on Wednesday morning. I don't find anything wrong with either, but I can't begrudge folks like Mike Florio who do. Vick and Roethlisberger are under scrutiny for reasons of their own doing. A few months of good behavior doesn't wipe the slate clean. When they make the decision to put themselves in so-called "bad situations" they open themselves up to criticism. Right or wrong, it's not unfair to bring it up. (Roethlisberger defended his night out, saying it's a tradition with his offensive lineman.)

The Eagles blog Eagletarian reports Vick will attend two parties on Saturday, including an alcohol-free event for 14-to-17-year-olds that offers "positive messages and role models."
