Sports Thread #1 For 9/21/10: In A Shocker, Reid Names Vick His Starter Over Kolb

Image
What a way to give confidence to Kevin Kolb by placing him on the bench until otherwise . This is a stunner from Reid, who was hell bent after their win on Sunday to pronounce Kolb as still his starter. For Eagles fans, most on the Vick momentum will be happy by this move. But you have to ask yourself how fragile Reid's confidence is in his own plan to do a complete 180 reversal here. It is indeed a major shock to hear.

Sports Thread #1 For 10/1/09: Nike Denies Reports It Re-Sign Michael Vick Yesterday

Image
Kind of like that Comcast is buying NBC news , but then rejected . Yeah, as it turned out, Nike had to deny news as well : Nike is not signing a new endorsement deal with former spokesman Michael Vick of the Philadelphia Eagles, spokesman KeJuan Wilkins said on Thursday. Nike dumped Vick as an endorser and pulled his products from retail stores in 2007 after the ex-Atlanta Falcons quarterback was charged with bankrolling and running a dogfighting ring. One of Vick's agents, Mike Principe, announced during the SBJ/SBD Relay Worldwide Sports Sponsorship Symposium here Wednesday that the newly-signed Eagles QB had signed a new deal with the Swoosh. But Nike's Wilkins said that wasn't so. "Nike does not have a contractual relationship with Michael Vick.

From AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin Just how they left Kobe (though they never broke the contract with him) and came back to him, they do the same here . Michael Vick is back with Nike more than two years after the company severed ties over the quarterback's involvement in a dogfighting ring. The managing director of the agency that represents Vick announced the deal Wednesday while participating on a panel at the Sports Sponsorship Symposium. Michael Principe of BEST referred questions to Vick's agent, Joel Segal, who did not return calls from The Associated Press. Segal told SportsBusiness Journal that Vick will wear Nike shoes, gear and apparel, but would not reveal the terms of the agreement "Mike has had a great relationship with Nike and is excited to be part of the Nike team again," Segal said.

Sports Thread #3 For 9/3/09: Vick Reinstated By Week 3

I can't believe I'm saying this, but a really good move by Roger Goodell. More on the developments, but there is no other developments needed. The NFL would look more hypocritical than it already is if they continued to make money off of Vick's jerseys (especially those bizarre asinine dog jerseys) while suspending the former Falcon quarterback. So why even risk such a thing.

Sports Thread #1 for 7/29/09: A Reason Why PETA Is Just A Bunch Of Attention Whores

This is why a lot of people can't stand PETA, starting at 4:15 Royal clown, and royal fool. Of course Vick did something wrong. Now it's over. So for someone to question he needs a brain scan is highly offensive, and shows how just asinine PETA really is at the end of the day. Just another group of hypocrites in a country full of them.
