Andy Reid Has Lost Philadelphia

Barry Petchesky — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:00:00 EDT

Sometimes it happens all at once. After 12 years and almost as many votes of confidence, one day a coach can wake up and everything he's accomplished means nothing, all his team's promise is tacitly promised to his successor. More »

ESPN's Fantasy Guru Thinks "Rapelisberger" Is Worth Having As Your QB

Dom Cosentino — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 12:05:13 EDT

A reader named John helpfully screen-grabbed this tweet from ESPN fantasy expert Eric Karabell, which John said had appeared on the ESPN fantasy football page for a bit last night, at least until Karabell saw fit to delete it. Granted, Karabell was just answering a question about going with Vick or Roethlisberger by re-tweeting what his reader actually wrote him, but still. More »

Michael Vick's $100 Million Contract Is A Lie

Tommy Craggs — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:02:37 EDT

Everything you need to know about the NFL and its courtier press can be summed up in a single sentence: Michael Vick's much-heralded "$100 million deal" is not a $100 million deal, and the widely reported "$40 million guaranteed" is in fact neither $40 million nor completely guaranteed. More »

Your Collection Of "What If White Michael Vick Were..." Photoshops

Jack Dickey — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 13:10:00 EDT

Yesterday, in its infinite wisdom, ESPN gave us White Michael Vick. We're still not sure entirely why, although it "got people talking" in the way that most silly ESPN things do. It also got the crafty minds of the internet a-Photoshoppin'. Here are some of our favorites, though you should send others into tips@deadspin.com should you find a splendid one we missed, or should you want to make your own. More »

Mike Vick Says Roger Goodell Didn't Make Him Go To Philly, But...

Dom Cosentino — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:00:00 EDT

So Michael Vick tells Emeritus for GQ that nobody cares about dog-fighting except the media, that white people don't understand where he came from, and that the NFL encouraged him to go play for the Eagles when he pretty much preferred the Bengals or the Bills. Vick, as if on cue, has since clarified what he said to say he didn't exactly mean what he said: More »

Michael Vick Loses An Endorsement Deal, And Not Because He Killed A Bunch Of Dogs

Barry Petchesky — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 12:45:06 EDT

Just two weeks ago, Vick signed a deal to be the face of EnerJel, a nutritional supplement/energy boost that you can rub into your skin. Because swallowing Gatorade was getting too difficult. But this was a product whose time has come, and Vick was clearly the only man who could bring it to the masses. So parent company Fuse Science went all out, inking Vick to a 5-year contract for cash and stock (interestingly, the terms were tied to his on-field performance). More »

Emma Carmichael — Thu, 12 May 2011 15:00:00 EDT

Back in February, when folks in Dallas were outraged that the city's Mayor Pro Tem had awarded Michael Vick with a key to the city that, he explained, was really "for the children," the Dallas Observer ran the headline that included the phrase, "As It Turns Out, Anybody Can Get a Key to the City of Dallas." Last week, City Councilwoman Angela Hunt proved them right by presenting an edible key to the city of Dallas to a dog. More »

PETA Protests The Michael Vick Madden Cover That Doesn't Exist Yet

Emma Carmichael — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 13:55:00 EDT

When ESPN and EA Sports announced that they would team up to let fans select the Madden 2012 cover boy, we predicted that the angry loud people would quickly sound off about the selections. The pool is now down to 16 selections, and the shit-stirring has begun: in a totally unoriginal outcome, the loud angry people are PETA and the selection under fire is Philadelphia's Michael Vick.
