Michael Vick Coming to a UFL Field in 2009?


Note the U. The UFL, United Football League, is a six team start-up league with decent backers—Mark Cuban among others. The UFL plans to begin play in 2009 (originally planned on a 2008 start) and would play all of their games on Fridays in the fall. Teams would be based in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Orlando, New York, and Hartford. UFL games would be on Friday because, interestingly, the NFL is banned under federal anti-trust law from playing any games on Friday (after 6 in the evening) within 75 miles of any high school or college game. Who's reporting that Vick might be a target of the UFL? Peter King, of course. More »

Crazy Artist Guy Combines Michael Vick And Another Horse

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 Might Run Out Of Money Sometime Soon

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 »

Deadspin Vs. Cat Lady. Let's Watch The Fun

It seems that Deadspin readers have been naughty once again. On Friday many of you infiltrated The Animal Advocate blog comments section, and hilarity, as they say, ensued. But like most parties around here, things may have gone a little too far. Iracane has been notified and a full investigation is underway, but one thing we know for certain: Cat enthusiasts are touchy, and have very sharp claws. To get you up to speed on all of this: More »

T-Bones' Michael Vick Promotion Under Fire

Well, it seems that not everyone's thrilled with the Kansas City T-Bones' big Michael Vick baseball promotion. The NAACP is one organization that's a little peeved. And so is Kristy Winfrey, who authors the Kansas City-based Animal Advocate blog. There is a warmth in my heart as big as a certain deceased race horse when I read this blog, because Kristy seems just as insane passionate as the Barbaro fan club. And I miss that. More »

T-Bones Welcome Michael Vick To The Neighborhood

It's the glorious return of Minor Enterprise, a celebration of God's gift of Minor League baseball promotions. Also, we will plagiarize some Rachael Ray recipes.

The team that gave you the Redneck Olympics (featuring the grueling mullet competition) finally has an event that you can attend with your dog. Since Michael Vick is incarcerated very near their home field, the Kansas City T-Bones (Independent Northern League) have decided to throw a Michael Vick Welcome to the Neighborhood Night on May 28. The best part: The T-Bones will be wearing black and white striped jerseys, and the visiting Gary SouthShore RailCats will wear bright orange jumpsuit replica jerseys. (Note to Cincinnati Bengals: Do not steal this idea).

Ron Mexico's Prison Pen Pal

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 »

Michael Vick Not Just Chillin', Apparently

I have no idea how reliable this is, but the blog Media Takeout says it has information that Michael Vick is paying for protection in prison. A "family member" of someone who writes for the blog claims to have been in the general population with Vick at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary, where Vick is serving a 23-month prison term for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy.

Well, Anyway, It Should Be Better Than 'Big Brother'

Just in time for summer, get ready for a reality show starring Michael Vick's pit bulls. Apparently a bunch of them are staying at a place called Dogtown in Utah, and the National Geographic Channel is swooping in to film the proceedings for TV. Hey, the National Geographic Channel; they're the ones who produce The Littlest Groom, right? More »

Michael Vick Ready To Get Busy Livin'

"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 »

Even Australia Frowns Upon Drinking And Torturing Animals

It may not be dogfighting or cat juggling, but quokka abuse ranks right up there in the annals of asshattery. And a couple of Australia's finest rugby players are guilty of abusing the endangered marsupial animal on Rottnest Island. (In their defense, they appeared to be drunk.) 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 »
