Re: JO Sports Suing Michael Vick
It is the offseason they never get items in in the offseason as there are no new items to get. We will all have to wait and see how it unfolds.

Is JO Sports going to fold? They havent gotten in new items in forever, and most teams have severed ties with them.Leave a comment:

Re: JO Sports Suing Michael Vick
With Vick being on parole, and him consorting with a now going
to be convicted person would that violate his parole?
Maybe its his way out of the contract, besides JO is selling his stuff
on clearance. Jarod probibly lost his ass on his stuff and is trying to recoupe.
What better way to make your money back......Leave a comment:

Re: JO Sports Suing Michael Vick
The merits of the suit depend on the contract's termination clause if there was one and if it was followed by Vick.Leave a comment:

Re: JO Sports Suing Michael Vick
I should add that I appreciate Vick's point of view. It's not in his PR best of interests to have a signing session with a person convicted of memorabilia fraud.Leave a comment:

Re: JO Sports Suing Michael Vick
If Vick cashed the check, he has to follow up with the contract stipulations. It would seem. That he's offended with dealing with a felon seems a bit dubious-- as the article says Vick is still on probation.
Just my take/opinion.Leave a comment:

Just think if we had a 16-subject playoff for vitriolic champion of the board, I bet Lou would be the runaway #1 seed.

JO Sports Suing Michael Vick
Michael Vick Sued Over Breach of $100,000 Contract
by Tim McManus 5/29/12
The state of Nevada doesn’t agree with Michael Vick. There was the public backlash from his appearance at a local Toyota dealership over the weekend. And now this: J.O. Sports Company is suing Vick, alleging that he failed to live up to an agreement that paid the quarterback $101,500. Among the claims: Vick didn’t provide game-worn equipment and didn’t attend private signings, as laid out in the contract.
But Vick’s side says that it terminated its relationship with Jarrod Oldridge of J.O. Sports in October 2011 after learning that Oldridge had been indicted for fraudulent business practices. He was accused, among other things, of doctoring jerseys to make them appear game-worn to increase the value.
“My primary concern is for my fans,” said Vick through his P.R. firm. “If my fans want to buy game-used memorabilia, it is important that the merchandise is 100 percent authentic.”
Oldridge has since pleaded guilty to mail fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment and a fine as high as $250,000.
“I will not support a company that is accused of misleading fans,” said Vick. “It is an easy decision to make.”
It seems like smooth sailing in the other 49 states for Vick this summer. He is, of course, set to get married in Miami Beach on June 30th to his fiancée, Kijafa, and will squeeze in a Celebrity Golf Tournament at Stone Harbor Golf Club June 18th to raise funds for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport News, Virginia and Philadelphia.
In another positive development for the 31-year-old signal-caller, Vick is expected to be off probation in the very near future. There are business ventures on the horizon also; we’ll detail them for you soon.
