Michael Vick, UM, Gay fans and 8 things that may happen

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

We need to take a quick look around the football world and straighten things out. After all, it is you my wise readers that have the inside dope on everything. It is you that keeps me on my toes.

First off, in the land of the ludicrous, Jon Kitna predicts 10 victories for the Lions.
Prognosis: Won’t happen. Wait, was that a pig that just flew by?

Kevin Jones decides to run on 1 leg

Second off, Kevin Jones of the Lions can not recover from that horrific foot injury and without him the Lions are in even more trouble.
Prognosis: Jones will recover and was not even put on the PUP list, although he will not play in the first game.

President Matt Millen and Marinelli made the final decision on Jones, but it was also was left up to Jones to decide if he would be in the active roster, Marinelli said. source

For those Jones doubters out there, he had 869 yards rushing and, get this, 61 receptions. You gotta love the Mike Martz offense.

Third off, JaMarcus Russell will sign in time to start the first game for Oakland.
Prognosis: This idiot is so greedy that he may never play. Culpepper is the starter right now and if his knee is fully healed, look out. (Squibster has no sympathy for anyone that should be in camp. Time to adopt a form of the NBA rookie pay scale.)

Fourth off, University of Michigan Wolverines will lose to Appalachian State.
Prognosis: Unbelievable, this one actually happened! The 1st 1-AA school to ever beat a Division 1 ranked school ever!

Here were some of the headings in the paper:

APPALLING! Wolverines suffer worst upset in their history (Detroit Free Press)

U-M makes history in the worst possible way (Detroit News)

Fifth off, Michael Vick will remain a hero to many, even as he goes to jail.
Prognosis: Highly unlikely!

As one father had to go through.

But the reckoning finally came during the Bears-Colts preseason game last month, when a “SportsCenter” alert blurted details of Vick’s plea deal. My son, sensing my nervousness, I’m sure, turned to me and asked: “Daddy, is Michael Vick still the best player?”

What followed was one of the most difficult conversations I’ve had with Ian, right up there with the time our cat was dying. How do you tell a child that his hero is a bum? source

Sixth off, Joey Harrington will do well in Vick’s place for Atlanta.
Prognosis: Doubtful, he is still Joey.

The big news for Joey and Atlanta is Harrington’s following of Gay fans.

• Mike Horton, a gay football fan in Atlanta who roots for the New England Patriots, says Harrington may change his perspective and prompt him to give the Falcons a second look: “It’s interesting what an extreme opposite Harrington is to our previous quarterback. I like the fact that he’s suave and polished, but boy, is he pretty. I think I might try to make a few more games this year.” source

Seventh off, LaDainian Tomlinson will break the rushing touchdown record again.
Prognosis: Nothing LT does will surprise me.

Eighth off, Brett Favre will go out in a blaze of glory.
Prognosis: Even us Lions fans would love to see this one!
