Someone in the Dominican Republic knows what they're doing, judging by that Heisman pose on the label. Makes me wonder if they're actually intended to hold tobacco. But, you know, don't share them. Herpes sores and such. [Cigars International] More »

You might remember last year, when a talented artist combined Michael Vick and Barbaro, causing us to spontaneously combust. Well, that artist is back, this time honoring the "great" Eight Belles. More »

Michael Vick has now been in jail for about six months, and though he still has at least a year-and-a-half to go, he's not immune to bad news from outside the prison. As if possibly had any money left, now the Canadians are after him. More »

Considering how much Falcons owner Arthur Blank stuck by Ron Mexico for years, before that dog-fighting business, it should perhaps be little surprise that he's still corresponding with Vick while he's in the slammer. How's he doing, anyway? Has he organized a team to beat the prison guards yet? More »

"Welcome to the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth ... or as we like to call it, The Big House. Now, we've got a few rules here at The Big H, so listen up. First ... no between-meal-snacks!" (Snatches candy bar from Otis). Now that my daily Andy Griffith Show reference is out of the way, it's time to note that Michael Vick was transferred to USP Leavenworth in Kansas (not to be confused with the military penintentiary, Fort Leavenworth) on Monday. Vick is just the latest in a long line of notable guests at The Big L. More »

Word has come down from Richmond, Virg.: Michael Vick has been sentenced to 23 months in prison. Prosecutors had recommended 12-18 months in jail, but Judge Henry Hudson went above that. Considerably. More »

We didn't get into this yesterday, but all told, we find it pretty amazing that Mr. Mexico has decided to check into jail three weeks early. We understand that it's a plan to look contrite in front of the judge ... but it's still taking quite a risk, wethinks. More »

Yes, yes, we know that Ron Mexico tortured and electrocuted puppies, we know that he's probably not the best person and we know he's gonna spend some serious time in prison. He pretty much deserves whatever's coming to him. But ... we dunno .... is it really fair that the Falcons can now recoup $19.97 million from him? More »

We didn't watch ESPN's timely Michael Vick Town Hall Meeting last night, but from just about every account, it was a total disaster. The audience was so partisan for Vick — which, to be fair, is the opposite of what you typically see — that anyone who so much as pointed out that Vick confessed to electrocuting puppies was shouted down. Even the slightly pro-Vick people on the panel seemed embarrassed; ESPN itself admitted this morning that many "were lured more by the prospect of getting some face time on the live broadcast rather than their feelings about the Vick case."

Plenty of discussion yesterday on Michael Vick's apology following his guilty plea for that whole dogfighting business. Frankly, we were a little taken aback by Vick's press conference; as SI.com put it, it was "among the most apologetic remarks ever heard by a professional athlete." We had been expecting some sort of talking out of the side of Vick's mouth. But that's not what happened. He took full responsibility, blaming only himself. It is perhaps a level of fans' cynicism that we were all so surprised. More »

Well, it's now official, as if we didn't know it already and somehow needed hours of coverage all morning (including Bob Ley saying it's "the biggest story, sports or otherwise, in the country right now" on the day the attorney general of the United States resigned): Michael Vick has officially pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy. You might find that entertaining. But in 20 minutes, it should be more fun. More »

Back in Catholic high school, when our dress code was a shirt and tie, one day a student came to class in proper dress code. When the teacher stepped out for a second, he tore off his collared shirt and khaki pants to reveal his underlying outfit: a waterskiing wetsuit. He didn't get in trouble for the legendary act, but later in the class another kid was reprimanded when he put on a baseball hat, to which his class response was: "MR. DOUGLASS, HE'S WEARING A WETSUIT!" Had this incident mirror, forever etched in my memories of high school, mirrored the way NFL commissioner Roger Goodell handled Pacman Jones and Michael Vick, I would have laughed. More »

Long before this whole dogfighting business, Michael Vick / Ron Mexico / Ookie was a popular guy around these parts. It is amazing to us, even to this day, how few people know about the Ron Mexico story. Now, ironically, this whole "electrocuting puppies" business may assure even fewer find out about it. Shame, too: It's still pretty hilarious. More »

It is a great sign for Mr. Mexico that, just a few days after word leaked that Michael Vick will plead guilty to electrocuting puppies — and a few days before he actually will — there's already people in the league who are lobbying for him to play when he gets out of jail. Sure, it's the Arena League, but hey, beggars choosers all that. More »

On last night's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," the plucky host who stole Larry Sanders' show out from under him mocked the NBC SundayNightIsFootballNight crew for analyzing how the NFL and the Atlanta Falcons would deal with Michael Vick's guilty plea. We understand the easy joke — Who cares about football? He tortures dogs! — but we're not sure what Costas and Co. were expected to talk about. It is, after all, a football show. More »

Sure, you can buy your Michael Vick chew toys and Ron Mexico T-shirts and Ookie jerseys, but don't you want a real part of Vick history?

We have become so jaded by the American legal system that it's difficult to imagine a celebrity the likes of Michael Vick actually facing any real jail time. We imagined probation picking up dog doo with his teeth, and a hefty fine. But if the feds were out to get Ron Mexico, it's starting to look like they were successful. More »

One thing we're not necessarily looking forward to, if it comes to that, is a Michael Vick trial. We already have read all the gory details and aren't necessarily eager to see them rehashed in gruesome detail, with pictures. And these trials inevitably involve a bunch of lawyers talking to each other in ways we don't understand while Vick sits impassively in the back. (They probably won't let him doodle on his PSP.)
