Man, Tough Break For That Vick Guy
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....
Ookie Is No Dummy
Ladies and gentlepeople, we have finally figured out what we will do if we are ever convicted of a felony, other than "try to grow a mustache and move to Turks and Caicos." We're gonna make sure we smoke as much weed as possible, and then get caught....

ESPN's Disastrous "Town Hall Meeting"
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 el...
Just Two Hours Left To Buy GREAT ART

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. 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 exp...
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
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 ...
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Michael Vick
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 abou...
Michael Vick, Born For The Arena League
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 Leagu...
Michael Vick Hall Shall Stand!
Here's something we didn't know: At Virginia Tech, they actually have a Michael Vick Hall. (You can kind of see it on that map, if you squint.)...
The Day The Chargers Avoided Disaster
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 abo...
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...
