NFL says Michael Vick eligible to play in 3rd game

NEW YORK – After missing two seasons and serving an 18-month prison term, sitting out two regular-season games can't be too difficult for Michael Vick.
Vick got the green light for full reinstatement by Roger Goodell on Thursday, when the NFL commissioner said the disgraced quarterback could play later this month instead of waiting until October. Vick, Goodell and Eagles coach Andy Reid met earlier in the day.
"I was surprised, but I'm just blessed to have an opportunity," Vick said after the Eagles lost 38-27 to the Jets in the preseason finale. "It's still somewhat like a dream when I step out there on the field, coming where I came from two years ago and where I've been. I just try to enjoy the moment. I can't complain about anything.
"If it was a six-game suspension, and if that was the ruling and the final verdict, I would've been happy and just would've said I had to work on personal development and perfecting my game."
Vick signed with Philadelphia on Aug. 13 and played in two preseason games. Goodell's decision means he can return in the Sept. 27 home game against Kansas City. It would be Vick's first regular-season game since he was sent to prison for his role in operating a dogfighting ring. The former Atlanta Falcons star was released from federal custody July 20.
Listening to the two guys on ESPN's "Mike and Mike" this morning insult each other (one went to Ohio State, IIRC--it was the running back who played for the Vikings, I think--and the other went to Michigan?).
"How do you make Ohio State cookies? Put them in a bowl and beat them for three hours."
"What do you call a Michigan player with a championship ring? A thief."
"How do you get an Ohio State grad off your lawn? Pay for the pizza."
walking through the store and upon seeing a narsty C. U. N.ext T.uesday, you say (what you thought was under your breath) “narsty bitch, I hope you are drinking antifreeze when you walk into that AIDS tree” and the GISUW jerks his head around and says “what the hell did you just say?! AIDS Tree!?”
Yeah, you know you spend way too much time here.
Those people that have those huge stars on their houses. Is that a sign of a cult membership? Devil worshipers or those getting ready to get on the mothership?

If you have to ask, you can't be told. If they tell you, they'll have to convert you or kill you and eat you.
