I thought that we’d heard the last of Terrell Owens. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Carson Palmer has reportedly been working out with Terrell Owens and has told the Cincinnati Bengals he would be an asset to the team. I have only one thing to say to the Bengals - The best predictor […]

United Football League’s Florida Tuskers continued their winning ways with a 34-7 victory over the California Redwoods. The Tuskers moved to 3-0 on the season, while the Redwoods fell to 1-2.

The United Football League announced an additional venue and a venue change as the UFL has completed two weeks of games.  The November 4th game at Citi Field featuring the New York Sentinels vs. the Las Vegas Locos has been moved to Hofstra’s James M. Shuart Stadium.  The November 14th game at AT&T Park featuring […]

On Thursday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell ruled that Michael Vick is eligible to play in Week 3 of the regular season.

One of my all-time favorites, Dick Vermeil has reportedly started a new chapter in his life — winemaking. Last October, along with friends and investors, he launched Vermeil Wines, a boutique winery, in Calistoga, California.

NFL Fanhouse has reported that a final resolution to the Michael Vick issue could come as soon as this weekend. Based on their sources, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to reinstate Mike Vick immediately, which will make him eligible to play in the Eagles’ first regular season game against the Carolina Panthers.

After hearing that Adam “Pacman” Jones would likely be playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this season, the team released a statement Wednesday night saying they are no longer pursuing Mr. Jones. Several days ago, SI.com reported that Pacman passed up an offer from the UFL.

Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson proved he’s got skills.  In a preseason game Thursday night against the New England Patriots, Johnson kicked an extra point to give the Cincinnati Bengals a one-point victory over the Patriots.  Johnson practices kicking; however, he had never kicked in a game during his 8 years with the Bengals.

I guess Mike Vick will always be a bird - first at Virgina Tech, then a Falcon, now an Eagle.  Let’s hope that he understands the important gift he has been given - a 2nd chance to get things right.
