I saw this clip again recently and I just had to post it. For those unaware of Sacha Baron Cohen’s work, he was Borat and in Talladega Nights with Will Ferrell. But before that, he did Da Ali G Show, which is where this absolute hilarious clip spawned from.
This is Cohen at his best with soccer star David Beckham and wife Poshtastic Spice. Enjoy.
All around great guy and underrated player Warrick Dunn sounded off about Michael Vick to the Atlanta Journal Constitution Tuesday. Although he was professional as always, one term he used especially stood out to me:
“To me … he needs to worry about his life,” said Dunn, who keeps in regular contact with Vick. “As an ex-teammate, right now he definitely wants the guys on this football team to move on and move forward.”
Ex-teammate? Wow. Even though it’s a foregone conclusion that Vick’s days in Atlanta are over, it’s interesting to hear a guy like Dunn – a teammate and friend of Vick’s since 2002 – say “ex-teammate” just a day after Vick announced he’s guilty. I marvel at the way Dunn is quickly moving on from the whole situation and putting the onus back on football. What else is there to do?
Professionalism like this shown by Dunn is one of the reasons why I think the Falcons are actually going to rid themselves of Vick sooner than people think. Maybe not on the field of course, but certainly off it.
As an analyst now for NBC’s Sunday Night Football, former Giants running back Tiki Barber ripped Eli Manning for the way he could never lead the Giants.
Always one to back away from controversy, Eli actually spit venom back at Barber Tuesday after Giants practice:
“…It’s one of those deals; I’m not going to lose any sleep (over) what Tiki has to say. I guess I could have questioned his leadership skills last year with calling out the coach and having articles about him retiring in the middle of the season and (how) he’s lost the heart. As a quarterback, you’re reading your running back has lost the heart to play the game and it’s about the 10th week…”
Who told Manning he had a set between his legs? Seriously, fantastic work Eli! Although quite frankly, both Tiki and Eli are just in their comments – it’s just nice to see Manning fight back for once.
Titans’ running back coach Sherman Smith is set to name Chris Brown the starter in Tennessee, not LenDale White like the team initially hoped at the beginning of OTAs months ago.
Brown is a quality back, but two things scare me as far as fantasy value goes. The first thing that would cause me to pass is how much the Titans were dying for White to be the starter this offseason. If and when White becomes healthy again, will he steal Brown’s carries or flat out take his starting job in general? Secondly, White has always been viewed as the goal line back, so I’d have to assume that role is still his. Obviously if that’s the case, Brown’s value decreases big time.
I’d probably stay away from both of them on draft day, but the value of White in a touchdown-heavy league is still appealing. Plus, the Titans line is above average and should only get better while Michael Roos and Jacob Bell continue to develop.
According the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Falcons quarterback Michael Vick finally decided to accept a plead agreement in the charges of illegal gambling and dog fighting.
“Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to these charges and to accept full responsibility for those actions and for the mistakes he has made. Michael wishes to apologize to everyone who has been hurt by this matter. The legal team and Mr. Vick will appear in Court in Richmond on Aug. 27.”
My only question – and Da Bear mentioned it in the comments section of another post – is why did Vick get the opportunity to do this today? Didn’t he have a strict 9 p.m. deadline on Friday? Or is something like that only strict if a non-celebrity was involved?
Either way, this was the right decision. And after all the boneheaded, idiotic, insensitive things Vick has done over the past couple months and years, at least he finally fesses up to something everyone already knew he did. There are no winners in this whole ugly mess, but at least this a-hole didn’t drag it out any further when he knew he was guilty.
It’s going to be interesting to see what the actual plea agreement entails and how much jail time he sees.
