Mike Vick: from Falcon to Eagle

So Mike Vick's finally back in the NFL. Although, i would rather have him on another team i am happy for dude regardless just for the fact that he's officially back playing in this league.. & besides, for someone who was in jail for 2 years, being a "back up" i feel actually would be a great role for Vick, for now. lol With the 2-year offer in which he signed, he could really use this year or 2 to shake off the rust before EVENTUALLY being traded or signed to another team in which desperately DOES need a full-time Quarterback.

I wish him the nothing but success in this comeback attempt, & hope all of the haters would just hushh.. accept that he did his time & paid a hefty price for what he did.. and just let him play football again.

welcome back Michael Vick

Mike Vick was officially re-instated back into the NFL. finnnally. lol i hope dude makes a tremendously successful comeback wherever he may play next.

John Madden retires

NEW YORK (AP)—John Madden’s last game as a football announcer was a thrilling Super Bowl decided in the final seconds.

The perfect ending to a run as one of sports’ most popular broadcasters, now that Madden called it a career Thursday. Yet it didn’t fit Madden’s style to think about his retirement that way.

“I’m a grinder,” he said on his Bay Area radio show. “You just grind and get through it and when it’s all over, you think about it. You don’t rush into any decisions.”

Madden’s exuberance for football and blue-collar persona endeared him to TV viewers for three decades. Boom! As sudden as his signature call, he’s leaving midway through a six-year contract with NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”

“I think his work ethic and passion and love for the game made him apart from everybody else,” said longtime broadcast partner Pat Summerall.

Madden said his health is fine, but at the age of 73, he wanted to spend more time with his family. His 50th wedding anniversary is this fall, and his five grandchildren are old enough to notice when he’s gone.

Mike Vick in construction?!??!

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- A lawyer for suspended NFL star Michael Vick told a bankruptcy court Thursday that the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback has lined up a $10-an-hour construction job for when he gets out of prison. "You will hear from Mr. Vick his future intentions, how he's going to change the way he lives his life," his lawyer, Michael Blumenthal, told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro.

An agent for Vick said during court testimony that he hoped Vick could be back in the NFL by September. Joel Segal testified as part of the hearing to assess Vick's bankruptcy plan. If Vick is allowed to return, Segal said he would try to negotiate a one- or two-year contract that would include incentives for playing time and a starting position. As a six-year NFL veteran, Vick would be in line for a veterans' minimum salary of $620,000.

Vick, once one of the NFL's highest-paid players, if not accepted back into the NFL, he plans to work 40 hours a week for $10 an hour at one of W.M. Jordan Co.'s 40 commercial construction jobs, said John Robert Lawson. His father, Robert Lawson, helped start the Newport News company.
