Arthur Blank, the clumsy owner of the Falcons who once pushed Mike Vick around in a wheelchair like a manservant when the QB was injured, went into the booth on MNF last night. He was asked about the potential for Vick’s return. Form your own opinions on whether what he said was racist or not.

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 ...
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).
I don't believe there was any malicious intent of course, but I laughed anyways….

Vehicular Homicide isn't as Bad as Killing Animals
juicedsportsblog.com 12/11/2007 — Michael Vick's 23 months in prison are from the federal case only; He might get more if the state of Georgia decides to try him for state crimes.
For reference Leonard Lewis got 3 months for killing someone while drunk driving, and current Edmonton Oilers coach Craig MacTavish got 12 months for vehicular homicide.

It Would Be Funny If He Didn't Really Mean It
kissmesuzy.blogspot.com 12/11/2007 — Oh Roddy, you are very very stupid. Mike Vick lied about slaughtering dogs a bunch of dogs. Then he sort of admitted it. Then he lied about it again...on a polygraph. The guy plead to jail and that's where he belongs for now. Everybody knows this, ...
Feds to Mike Vick: Don’t Lie
intentionalfoul.com 12/11/2007 — A word of advice: When being investigated by the Federal Government, it’s important to tell the truth, especially if they are giving you a polygraph test. Apparently, Vick failed their lie-detector test, which led to his longer sentence, handed down yesterday.
Roddy White Flashes "Free Mike Vick" T-Shirt After Touchdown
FanIQ.com 12/11/2007 — Am I missing something? This continued support of Vick is cute and all, but I'm starting to find it sad his teammates and fans keep forgetting the facts. Mike Vick committed a federal crime, lied about it, then ended up admitting guilt and told the judge yesterday he was willing to deal with the consequences. He's not being unfairly punished. On a sad night for the Falcons ...

Fried Chicken in Prison? —
Cardinals Diaspora
WE WON! (an honorable mention).
Mike Vick is in prison for the next 3 months, but if Mike Vick stays off that ‘fried chicken’, according to Arthur Blank, Mike Vick will have a shot of coming back with the Falcons. On a related note- it’s good to see the black and white stripes for prison jumpsuits making a comeback.
Lets update the Feebles off-season progress the past ...

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

The only shock I feel in regard to Arthur Blank’s fried chicken comment on Monday Night Football is to the reaction of the media. It is the most overblown, non-story in recent memory, which is saying alot between the internet and ESPN.

Was Falcons Owner’s statement racist? —
THE RED ZONE
For those who did not watch last night’s Falcons/Saints game, Falcons owner Authur Blank talked to the Monday Night Football broadcasting team. He talked about the all of Vicks roadblocks for an NFL return. Then, he mentioned the possiblilty of Vick eating too much fried chicken and gaining weight.
There are two ways to look at this: One, what Blank said was racist. Two, Blank ...
Michael Vick remorseful in letter to judge —
Construda
Just finished reading a copy of Michael Vick's letter to the judge in his dogfighting case and we've gained some insight into the life of the fallen NFL star while also being exposed to some rubbish.
Firstly, Vick seems sincere and remorseful for his transgressions.
Vick says he grew up not understanding the severity of dogfighting because he never saw people get into trouble for it.

Free Mike Vick! —
Leave the Man Alone
Kidding. I've never liked Roddy White. And the unveiling of his homemade "Free Mike Vick" shirt on Monday Night Football was proof positive that he needs to focus on catching footballs and not ghettotastic craft projects. Indeed, Mike Vick has to do his time. He'll be freed in 23 or so months. And that's soon enough. I'm not totally comfortable that so many resources have gone toward a crime ...

East Coast Bias
[Updated 7:01 p.m.] Um, what? I actually sat through the horrors of last night's Falcons-Saints game (in which Chris Redman played reasonably well), and thought to myself that Bobby Petrino seemed to enjoy coaching the team through all their adversity this year. I think I even recall Arthur Blank commending Petrino when he was in the MNF booth. Tonight ESPN reports that Petrino is off to ...

Our society is an interesting one. It’s one that likes to forgive people despite atrocities that they may or may not have committed.

Speaking of trials . It looks like marginal/mercurial NFL quarterback Michael Vick is going to miss training camp. Monday, US District Cout Judge Henry Hudson dropped the gavel on Vick with a 23 month stay in the Federal Penitentiary. Though not the maximum, Hudson’s ruling is definitely on the severe side, and when combined with what might be subsequent punishment doled out by the ...

The only reason to watch MNF last night would have been if you had fantasy players active in that game. Although if you had a fantasy roster that included players from the Saints and Falcons, your season was probably screwed a long time ago anyway. So assuming you found other things to do, you missed Arthur Blank's enlightened view on second chances: Uh oh. Sounds like Mr. Blank has been ...

When you heard that Mike Vick is going to jail for 23 months , I'm sure your first thought was "How much money could I have won on that?" Well, mine was at least. Back in August I had a post looking at various odds on Vick . Many of them are still up in the air ("Will M Vick ever throw another pass as an NFL QB", "Will he run for public office by the end of 2010"; seriously, go to the link and ...
