Falcons owner Arthur Blank was a guest in the Monday Night Football booth last night, and the subject at hand, obviously, was Michael Vick . This brief exchange with Tony Kornheiser (video via 100% Injury Rate ) has been the subject of some discussion this morning: The full quote from Blank was: "The word 'never' is a very strong word. There's a lot of roadblocks to Michael coming back and ...

Feds to Mike Vick: Don’t Lie
Intentional Foul —
... Apparently, Number 7 thought he needed to wind down after a grueling day of being investigated… Oh yeah, I’m sure some of you heard Arthur Blank mention he’d be open to the idea of Vick returning to the Falcons after he’s paid his dues during the Monday Night Football broadcast last night. Shortly after Tony Kornheiser brought this up, Blank offered some compelling thoughts in his rebuttal. And by “compelling,” I mean “not thought out at all.” ...
Rocket fueled by syringes: How does this impact Roger Clemens’ legacy?
Fire Brand of the American League —
... in 1998). Of these three players, the only person who is likely to make the Hall is Roger Clemens. What does Roger have that Bonds and McGwire don’t have? Is it the fact that he’s a pitcher? That he played for the Yankees? Let’s throw McGwire out for a second. How terrible does it look along racial lines? This is a world I think that is very peaceful (at least in America) along racial lines, but everyone enjoys whipping themselves in a frenzy over any perceived racial slight (like Arthur Blank and the fried chicken comment — not to get off on a tangent, but this world is ...

Arthur Blank Wants Michael Vick To Lay Off The Fried Chicken
sportaphile.com 12/11/2007 — Tony Kornheiser questioned team owner Arthur Blank about Michael Vick's possible return to the team in 2009. Of all the things I expected Blank to say "not eating fried chicken, and fries" was not on the list (in relation to vick staying in shape).

Mmmmmm, fried chicken
100percentinjuryrate.blogspot.com 12/11/2007 — I didn't watch the majority of the Saints/Falcons game, like most of America, but I did catch Arthur Blank talking with the MNF crew. Well, no, I didn't catch that either. I muted the TV while he was on because I didn't want to hear 10 minutes of ...

AwfulAnnouncing
I waited a bit to post this because the only video out there had some bad audio, but luckily reader Adam came through for us. Here's the Arthur Blank "Fried Chicken" comment from last night.... Talk about a poor choice of words. I honestly don't think he meant it in the way everyone thinks he did, but he could have just gone with Grilled Cheese and been okay. As far as Roddy White....I ...

Foul Balls
I was really hoping an athlete would get shot or sent to jail yesterday besides Mike Vick. Not because I'm a bad person, but only because I was hoping for something to write about today.
It didn't happen though, and as a result I'm stuck with what I feared. Kyle Orton.
It's ironic that the announcement that Orton will be starting for the Bears next Monday is symbolically the end of their
