It's gonna be a long year....

for us Redskins fans. Judging by last night's debacle, our guys are going to suck really bad. I don't know what was worse, watching the Skins struggle to move the ball or seeing Joe Gibbs on stage at the Republican convention. 4-12 looks like a real possibilty right about now.

Don't get too happy, though, Giant fans

You man Eli would have had at least two more picks if the Skins DBs could hold on to the ball. The G-Mens offense got shut out in the second half after ringing up 16 points in the first half, and other than the one sack Justin Tuck got in the first quarter, they had little pass rush going on. This still looks like a long year for them, too. in other words, if they'd been playing somebody good they'd have lost. From the looks of things, the Eagles and Cowboys will be the class of the division unless something changes.

Boy, not to be too preachy but consequences, consequences, and more consequences (whether good or bad) will occur with whatever decisions one makes. No one knows that better right now than Michael Vick. From poster boy of the NFL to poster boy of what not to do if you are a professional athlete. Despite what your opinion is on the severity of his sentence, and I know that is a hot topic, Michael Vick could have avoided that issue all together had he just made the decision to make some changes in the company he keeps and his thought process as a celebrity.

Not only did he lose his rights for at least 2 years or so, but now we hear that due to some poor decisions as to whom he invested his money with and who he entrusted to help him out of his current financial situation: Translation, he is flat broke.

Enter the upstart United Football League that is planning to throw millions of dollars at Michael Vick once he is released from prison. Michael Vick deserves this chance to redeem himself.

Even more problems mount for Michael Vick who is currently serving a 23 month sentence for plotting to run an interstate dogfighting ring. Now he is filing for bankruptcy which really doesn't matter now since he's in jail. It is not as if he can really spend any money. Let this be a lesson to everyone: the higher you are the harder you fall. Hard to believe about 4 years ago Michael Vick led the Falcons to the NFC Title Game against the Eagles and now he's a convicted felon and a broke one at that. It will be interesting to see what becomes of Michael Vick once he is released from prison. Will he be a changed man or end up making the same horrible decisions that led him to his downfall to begin with. Then again like anyone that falls from grace we always are suckers for a story where the Phoenix rises from the ashes. Only time will tell how this story will turn out.

It was not that long ago when Marcus and Michael Vick seemed to be on top of the world. Older brother, Michael, was arguably the face of the NFL while younger brother, Marcus, was the starting quarterback for a top-5 college program. The Vick brothers were known for their athletic abilities at the quarterback position, but now they are known for the mistakes they have made off the field.

The Vick brothers are both from the East End section of Newport News, VA. This area of town is known for crime, drugs, and poverty; an area known by locals as simply Bad Newz. It was the football field where the Vick brothers had decided they would spend their time instead of the streets. It is a dream of many, from the same area, that sports will soon get them out of their situation for good, and for the Vicks it seemed like their dreams had finally come true.
