Michael Vick

By Matthew T. Sussman 1) QB Michael Vick -- Of course Vick leads us off. It won't be long before he'll be sent down to the minors and up shit's creek. Vick and his crack team of lawyers have until Friday to enter a plea deal pertaining to dogfighting charges, where he'd probably get a year in prison.

By David Mazzotta That's why Nike dropped Vick like a hot potato. That's why you can no longer buy a Vick jersey. That's why the Falcons are desperately trying to find the right way to separate themselves from Vick and recover as much of his bonus money as possible. PR-wise it is about the worst possible thing, bu...

By Laron Cue For years now, I have believed that major league sports are all fixed. Anyone who has been to Las Vegas and bet on a game will tell you that.

By Brian McClellan This is an especially sad day for me as a sports fan. I should know better, as I have heard it all before. "Athletes are people and people are fallible." "Never be surprised when a famous person falls off his pedestal." However, Michael Vick was different for me and now the Atlanta Falcons quarte...

By Sal Marinello Michael Vick has electrified fans at every level of football, as a high school quarterback in Virginia Beach, a man among boys at Virginia Tech, and in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons. Regardless of what you think of him as a quarterback, he is surely one of the most gifted athletes ever to ste...

By Adam Jacobi There's only one member of the group who plays quarterback, though. No, not Ken Dorsey. The Atlanta Falcons' Michael Vick is as unique a quarterback as there's ever been in the NFL (at least since Jim Abbott's ill-advised foray into the league in 1988). Unless he's got DeAngelo Hall lining up...
