Nightmare Clients of the Week

Nightmare Clients for the Week of November 26th-December 3rd

Just got back from Atlanta in time to watch the Florida Gators get the bid to play in the National Championship. I will definitely do my best to get my hands on a ticket or two!

Here are your nightmare clients:

1. Michael Vick of the Atlanta Falcons flicked off some fans and was fined $10,000 by the NFL. He decided to match the fine with a $10,000 donation to a charity [Vick to pay $20K for obscene gestures].

2. Adrian Jones of the New York Jets also ended up paying $20,000 this week after being charged with DUI [Jets offensive lineman Jones charged with DWI].

p.s. – I refuse to call a DUI a DWI. Florida uses DUI and I’m sticking to it.
