a few updates

As reported by ESPN yesterday, an arbitrator ruled that Michael Vick will have to pay back about 20 million dollars to the Atlanta Falcons organization. This is bonus money that the team paid to Vick and feel they are owed back due to Vick violating his contract with the team. The Falcons believe that they are owed because Vick knew he was in violation of the contract when he signed the 10 year deal in 2004.

The breakdown of what Vick owes back is http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=nfl&id=3056591

Also, the current leading rusher of the NFL, Travis Henry, is to be suspended for a year for violating the leagues substance abuse policy.

I guess with the apparent return of former Dolphins RB and Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams, so is marijuana.

Cannot believe Williams is coming back again. Good blog, Derek.
