Who's Sorry Now?

Michael Vick is sorry. Sorry that he has gotten caught? Vick confirmed in a TV interview that he met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss problems that have plagued the Atlanta Falcons' quarterback this offseason.

"After what happened ... I just wanted to crawl in a hole. I can't take it no more," Vick told ESPN. "I walk around with a smile on my face and act like I'm happy, but on the inside it's hurting. And it's killing me. I ain't got no more energy left for it. The more I continue to do things and my name is in the media, I'm not going to get anywhere."

Sure Mike.

See Ya!

Maybe Al Davis is not as senile as we think and maybe Bill Belichick is. It looks as if NFL Oakland Raiders slacker Randy Moss will be traded to the Pats.

There are still details to be completed, including Moss passing a physical examination by the Patriots' medical staff, but league sources said they expect the deal to be competed. As part of a trade, Moss would restructure and perhaps even extend his current contract, which calls for base salaries of $9.75 million in 2007 and $11.25 million in 2008.

Oakland and New England officials conducted on and off negotiations for the last several days. The Raiders, who acquired Moss from Minnesota in 2005, have been shopping the wide receiver much of the offseason.

More Money Than Brains

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said for the first time that he is committed to paying wide receiver Terrell Owens' $3 million roster bonus, due in June. That means that Owens will remain with Dallas regardless of how the Cowboys address the position in this weekend's draft. Let the fun begin.

Let The Games Begin

Are we ready for the NFL draft tomorrow? I think this has been over hyped ad nauseum by ESPN. Do these commentators get paid by the word?

So what awards can be handed out pre-draft?

Homer Award: Mike Golic for telling us that Brady Quinn is the best darn football player ever. Really?

Overhyped Athlete: Brady Quinn. This guy is overrated and overhyped.

In A Daze Award: Is it just me or does Steve Young seem to be in a daze?

Smug and Cocky Award: Mel Kiper seems to be looking down at the rest of the peon analysts.

Overkill Award: No contest-ESPN.

A Black Eye

The Columbia Broadcasting Sleaze Network is refusing to air a Maxfli commercial(shown below) of John Daly because he may be drinking beer while driving a golf cart. Oh my! This is the network that has more sleaze than Maxfli has balls.

"It did not meet the standards of the CBS network," spokeswoman LeslieAnn Wade said Tuesday, quoted in The Los Angeles Times. "Any implied or direct reference to excessive consumption of alcohol would not meet network guidelines."

Wade said that the CBS guidelines do not allow alcoholic beverages to appear in ads when an activity involves a level of alertness, the paper reported.

Give us all a break CBS and just shut up!

Vick Sticks It To Congress

Michael Vick is at it again. This time his target is Congress. The Falcons quarterback was scheduled to lobby on Capitol Hill, hoping to persuade lawmakers to increase funding for after-school programs. But Vick missed a connecting flight in Atlanta and failed to show for his Tuesday morning appearance.

Vick's publicist, Susan Bass, said it wasn't his fault. The AirTran flight was late leaving Tampa, Vick missed his connection and wound up stuck in Atlanta, Bass said.

"He was really mad," Bass said.

AirTran, which has an endorsement deal with Vick, gave a different account of Vick's travel arrangements. While acknowledging that the flight from Florida was late getting into Atlanta, causing him to miss his 8:35 p.m. connection, airline spokesman Tad Hutcheson said the player was booked on a 10:50 p.m. flight.

Vick failed to show and the flight left Atlanta with about 20 empty seats, Hutcheson said.

What a class act this guy is.

Rob Parker Is A Moron

I thought that I had heard a lot of outlandish and moronic comments but the one from so called sports columnist Rob Parker takes the cake.

This buffoon and moron had the audacity to call Hank Aaron a coward because he refuses to go see Bonds break his home run record. This guy couldn't carry Hank's jock strap much less make any comments about why Hank will not show up to congratulate Barry "The Roid" Bonds.

Lefty Looking For Answers

Phil Mickelson is changing coaches, saying Monday he will start working with Butch Harmon. This is in light of his driver issues that cost him a chance to win the U.S. Open last year at Winged Foot.

Mickelson had worked most of his career with Rick Smith, whom he credited for helping him win 30 times on the PGA Tour and three majors.

Here's some free advice Lefty. Put the driver in the bag sometimes. Or does the driver make you feel like a big "boy"?

Cock Fight

Hide the women and children.There may be a cock fight about to begin. University of South Carolina trustees have sought this past week to rein in an athletics department that several trustees said was making large financial deals without required board approval.

“This is a violation of the policy of the university. This is symptomatic of the behavior of the athletics department, and it needs to stop,” said trustee Mack Whittle, who is chairman of The South Financial Group of Greenville.
