Michael Vick Tag Page
Michael Richards or Michael Vick
Gonna be interesting to see who gets more headlines…
Michael Richards (Kramer) for his obscene and racial comments, or
Michael Vick (Atlanta Falcons) for his obscene gesture to a stadium full of fans?
Personally, they both ticked me off.

Mmmm…Pie
The emails started on Wednesday. Kearns wanted to go to Atlantic City. Alceste did too, but he was having stupid Thanksgiving with his family and wouldn’t be back in the Northeast till Sunday. Mary was in too. I was on the fence. Ok, the fence to Atlantic City. So, we all agreed we’d go on Sunday. I would have to amuse myself till then. Piro was cooking her usual thanksgiving feast, a couple of the regulars would be absent from this year’s table, so she extended her invite to “my crew,” (her te
Boneheaded Recap: Week 13
(Note to the reader: I had this whole awesome essay typed out about how the demise of the economy has led to a decrease in QB scrambling, and how global warming is effecting the west coast offense, but then my gun slipped down my pants and I accidentally shot through my hard drive. Instead, we are stuck with another boring edition of the Boneheaded Recap.) Once or twice a year, an “off the field” sports story comes around that captures the attention of the national media; a sports story that
Former Washington Star Racks Up Sixth DUI Bust
In a week where it looks like Plaxico Burress might be soon catching passes from Michael Vick, it’s worth noting that NFL players with legal troubles are not a new phenomenon. Only the most diehard Lions fans remember Reggie Rogers, a promising DT taken seventh overall from Washington who was a month into his sophomore season when he drunken ran a red light and plowed into a car with three teenagers, killing them all. (Rogers [51] in better times) The former Huskies standout was charged wi
Time for Some Website Love
I want to take a moment to hand out some overdue kudos… There has been a shift in the tenor of writing and reporting among well-known sports Internet websites. And yeah, I’m specifically talking about Deadspin, the Big Lead, and a few of the other websites acknowledged by mainstream writers. Yeah yeah yeah, I can hear it now: “What’s up DWil, have you turned soft?” ” Yo D, are you selling out?” “Come on man, ‘these people’ will never learn.” Well, that’s not quite true. Of course all of the
That Ain’t Chicken Feed
Nation’s Largest Chicken Producer Lays Egg, Declares Bankruptcy Pilgrim’s Pride, the nation’s largest chicken producer, filed for Chapter 11 protection yesterday, waiting until after Thanksgiving so as not to tarnish the pride of Pilgrims everywhere. The company sought bankruptcy protection saying that “as of Sept. 27 it had $3.75 billion in assets and $2.72 billion in debts.” What kind of chickensh*t nonsense is that? You’ve got $1 billion more in assets than liabilities but you don’t feel
Plaxico Burress Deserves An Award In His Honor
The man in the above photo is Plaxico Burress, an NFL player who recently signed a 5-year $35 million contract extension. This fine piece of genius is now on the reserve/non-football injury list without pay. Why, you ask? Because this fool shot himself in the thigh while carrying a gun in his waistband inside of a night club. Find this hard to believe? Read more here. I am not going to pretend to have know who this guy was prior to his arrest, but he shall be forever known as the Idiot Wh

From Former Siemens Employee: "Re: CEO. Healthcare CEO abruptly resigned last Friday AM. Announced at RSNA yesterday." Link.

it’s all jimmie all the time in nyc
It’s day two of the Champions Week festivities in New York City and I’m already sick of Jimmie Johnson. LOL. I’m just kidding. Although with the elimination of the “Victory Lap” parade through Times Square you don’t get to see the other Top-12 drivers that much, so you get the feeling that it’s very “All Jimmie all the time” this week. That’s all very well and makes sense because he is the Champion after all, but still, you couldn’t get Carl Edwards in the mix a little bit? Maybe you do a p
NFL Taking Your Fun Away: ‘Harris Smith’ Jersey Not Available For Sale
Not that I’m entirely privy to Paul Tagliabue NFL commissioner’s reign, but it’s pretty clear Roger Goodell has come in and laid down the motherflippin’ law since he took over in 2006. I sometimes like to imagine everyone in the NFL having that really cool older English teacher who wear jeans with his ties and played guitar, and then that dude retired and they got some 40-year-old woman who wears her hair back, got left at the altar when she was 24 and now exclusively teaches Wuthering Height
Memo to UFL: Just Play Where NFL Won't
It doesn't take a Harvard MBA to figure out how the United Football League (UFL) can succeed, and it isn't by taking the NFL's taxi squad players or last-players-cut and trying to nudge them into players you might want to watch. And it isn't through alt formats (Arena) or tacky marketing (XFL). (Although floating that they are interested in signing Michael Vick is a pretty clever idea -- guess what: He won't need to play in the UFL; at least one NFL team will be happy to take him back.) The UF

Here’s the Problem…
At this moment, Plaxico Burress is the most famous professional football player in the world. He took the title from Michael Vick, who replaced PacMan Jones and OJ Simpson and Lawrence Tayor. All were good to great players, yet none are well known for their on-field accomplishments. Every sport has bad guys, but other leagues have stars to overshadow the news. Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson attacked paying customers, but when you think of the NBA, your first thought these days is LeBro
Vick Gets Offer From League That Doesn’t Exist
With our economy in free fall, I can’t think of a better time for someone to invest $60M in a team in a new pro football league. You? (Last forensic evidence that USFL ever existed - video after jump) SPORTS BUSINESS DAILY notes today, “the UFL (United Football League), which was hoping to have already unveiled its owners, now expects to do so by early next year, just months before the planned inaugural season. Owners must commit to invest between $30 million and $60 million in their franc

Two Things For the 2nd
First of all, my post du jour is over at The 'Stache today, and it's incredibly relevant for the holiday season, because it's about what's really important: me.Also, it's apparently Chardsy's birthday today, so let's all remind her (since her memory's likely failing along with her liver) of that, because otherwise, she might think any party planned for her is an intervention, and trust me: that girl has better escapability than Michael Vick used to in non-legal matters. As proof of that, tomo
Plaxico Burress Shoots Himself In Foot, Er, Leg
Agent Drew Rosenhaus was at his absolute best Monday, appearing at halftime of ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” broadcast to spin the Plaxico Burress Situation. Trouble is, another Rosenhaus client, the Burger King, might have a brighter NFL future right now. Burress shot himself in the leg at a New York City nightclub. It was just a flesh wound, fortunately, but he had a lot of ‘splaining to do. Now Burress is facing mandatory jail time on his felony weapons beef, since New York City takes
To Not Catch a (Nashville) Predator
I fell asleep watching the thrill fest that was last night’s Sabres/Predators game, so here’s my thoughts based on what I did see. - I wonder what Rivet’s mysterious upper body injury is? - I spend most of the boring first period poking around on YouTube and the rest of the internets. This game is just not holding my attention. I also find this adorable video of JP Dumont shooting a United Way commercial in Nashville with his two daughters. The kids are adorable and some of the faces Dumont mak
