EAGLES,VICK AGREE ON A TWO YEAR DEAL SUPERBOWL HERE WE COME ,I'M A EAGLES FAN IF YOU DIDNT KNOW
Quarterback Michael Vick has signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, his agent, Joel Segal, confirmed to ESPN.com.
Vick King Of First Down
During the first years of his career (2004-06), Michael Vick rushed the ball better than any other quarterback. He had six 100-yard rushing games and 102 10-plus yard runs, but he was also one of the top rushers amongst all players -- especially on first down.
Player | Team | Yds/carry on 1st down |
---|---|---|
Michael Vick | ATL | 7.6 |
Frank Gore | SF | 5.3 |
Tiki Barber | NYG | 5.2 |
Mewelde Moore | MIN | 5.0 |
Joseph Addai | IND | 4.9 |
Vick arrived in Philadelphia Tuesday morning and remained there Wednesday evening. The Eagles will hold a news conference on Friday morning to announce his signing.
Vick was the No. 1 draft pick in 2001, and once the highest-paid player in football. But he has not played since 2006 when his career came tumbling down. He was convicted in August 2007 of conspiracy and running a dogfighting operation, sentenced to 23 months in federal prison and suspended indefinitely by the NFL.
But after serving his time and being released from home confinement July 20, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally lifted Vick's suspension, allowing him to sign with a team.
Vick can immediately take part in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games.
Once the season begins, Vick may participate in all team activities except games, and Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19) at the latest.
Vick filed for bankruptcy protection last July, listing assets of about $16 million and debts of more than $20 million.
The Eagles travel to meet Vick's former team, the Atlanta Falcons, in Week 13 on Dec. 6.
SOME BIKES LOOK BETTER THAN CARS:RENOVO R4 WOODEN BIKE
While biking reduces both physical and carbon footprints and is a green activity in itself, Renovo pushes to make it even greener by building their bicycle with a sustainable wooden frame. While being environmentally friendly might be one of the advantages of using hardwood frame, there are more technical advantages to using hardwood. Hardwood frames are significantly more durable than metal and can withstand impact that would otherwise ruin metal frames. Also, wooden frames have a longer lifespan than aluminum or steel. The R4 Pursuit Road Bike possesses all the above more than redeeming qualities one seeks in a bicycle with a sturdy blend of black walnut and cedar bonded lengthwise in halves. It is indeed time to open your mind and add some more innovation and green to your ride.

The other colorways – white/navy and black/gold – will release on November 12th and December 3rd respectively.

PAVLIK AND WILLIAMS GET IT ON
Middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik and Paul Williams agreed to terms Tuesday night for an Oct. 3 fight at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., Top Rank president Todd duBoef told ESPN.com.
DuBoef, Pavlik's promoter, and Dan Goossen, Williams' promoter, had been in heavy negotiations for the past few weeks, and at times it looked like the fight would not happen.
However, with time running out, HBO (which will televise the bout) growing impatient and Top Rank beginning to more seriously explore other alternatives -- Winky Wright and Peter Manfredo the most prominent -- duBoef and Goossen made a deal.
"Goossen and I have agreed to all terms and we are going to contract for the fight," duBoef said. "We look forward to a formal announcement."
Said Goossen, "I'm just happy that we've finally come to terms and gotten this resolved. Now we can move forward."
A news conference is being planned for next Tuesday in New York.
Pavlik (35-1, 31 KOs) will be making the third defense of his unified titles, which he won via dramatic seventh-round knockout against Jermain Taylor in September 2007. He also beat Taylor in a rematch and lost a decision to Bernard Hopkins in nontitle bouts since becoming champion.
Williams (37-1, 27 KOs), a former two-time welterweight titlist, holds an interim junior middleweight belt. But he has been willing to fight at middleweight, junior middleweight and welterweight in an effort to land major fights. He made a big statement at middleweight in April when he outclassed Wright in a lopsided decision.
