Just How Into God Is Michael Vick?
Plenty of discussion yesterday on Michael Vick's apology following his guilty plea for that whole dogfighting business.

Vick Officially Pleads Guilty ... But We're Just Starting
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 plea...
Goodell Definitely Suspends Vick Indefinitely

It was a glorious, two-fisted era in baseball, when an umpire could be arrested twice in the same season for ...
Your Piece Of Michael Vick History
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? Considering he's not likely to play in the NFL again — no, he'll totally turn into an accurate passer when he's back in 2010 — don't you want something truly conne...
