Sad but true.....Could life be more cruel to this man?

Vick ........Posing in "Playgirl"?

Michael Vick......is in the news .....again.....

'Playgirl' offers Michael Vick $1 million donation to PETA to pose in its magazine

Would $1 million entice Michael Vick to pose for Playgirl?
The magazine, which highlights nude males, offered the Eagles QB $1 million -- that it claims would be donated to the animal-activists group PETA -- if he agrees to a pictorial.
Playgirl spokesman Daniel Nardicio told Life and Style magazine:

" I sent the request to Michael Vick on Wednesday. But we haven't heard back yet. I figured he paid back society for dog fighting, but what about the animals?
"This way he could donate a large sum to PETA and all he'd have to do is pose for the magazine! It's kind of a win-win situation!"

Vick served a 20-month sentence for a federal dogfighting conviction before joining the Eagles last August.
He has since been working with the Humane Society of the United States to inform children about the dangers of the bloodsport. -- Sean Leahy

The End.......For Iverson?

Could this ...be the end of an era......for Allen Iverson?

Seems ......Steven A. Smith thinks so:

Stephen A. Smith: Say goodbye to Allen Iverson

It's over.
The tears. The jogging out to midcourt at the Wachovia Center to kiss the floor to raucous, rabid applause. The crackling voice, filled with gratitude and appreciation for an organization that said, "You can come home again." It all ended for Allen Iverson yesterday afternoon when the 76ers announced that, arguably, the greatest player in franchise history would be out "indefinitely" because of his daughter's illness - undoubtedly ending The Answer's career in Philadelphia.
