MikeVick.com remains day to day

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

Mike Vick was named NFL Offensive Player of the Week for the second week in a row - first QB to do that since Randall Cunningham in his comeback year – and all is quiet on the contract extension front.

But more importantly, what’s up with the website?

It may just be a clever ruse to get Pro Bowl votes (hey, Marcus Vick tweeted it!), if so, that works for me. This will be the second day in a row that I mention that the entire website is a full-browser link to the Pro Bowl ballot, currently.

According to the MikeVick.com homepage, the website is launching today. It was supposed to be yesterday. Frankly, I don’t expect to be wildly impressed – Lebron’s website is slick as hell, and I’ve only been back once (to see the nine year old phenom, right) since the launch. Just thought launching yesterday, post-record setting MNF performance, would have been a huge win. Also, got to believe they’ll be something interesting on their about, let’s call it, the journey back?

Stay tuned, Marcus.

Will you cast your Pro Bowl ballot for Mike Vick?

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

His team is tied for first in the NFC East division with a handsome 6-3 record. His performance last night was statistically unprecedented. To boot, he’s Top-10 in total Fantasy points.

Mike Vick’s status hasn’t been this high since Madden NFL 2004.


MikeVick.com is set to launch today – if it does, what can I say, impeccable timing. Currently however, the site is one giant link to the NFL Pro Bowl ballot, hmmm?

Begs the obvious question, would you vote for Vick? It may end up being the ultimate vote of confidence from the fans. There are plenty of people – for example, the Mike Vick Facebook fans – who are congratulating him on turning his life around. This character analysis is clearly referencing his 115 QB rating and 11 touchdowns with zero interceptions. Those who truly feel that Vick’s performance is a feel-good comeback story should cast their ballot and validate.

I personally think it’s a no brainer vote.

MGMT Destroyed Webster Hall Last Night!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

If last night’s MGMT concert was prologue to what’s in store this Halloween weekend. Holy. Toledo.

Dressed handsomely as a mariachi band, they put a hurting on Webster Hall in NYC last night. I scored a ticket last minute, because somebody wanted to go see Philadelphia burn. Sports and Rock n’ Roll converge, and everybody wins. It’s a beautiful thing.

Check out the song that got this band signed, Kids. Got to battle horrendous fan vocal stylings (from what sounds like a singular douche, possibly the same guy with camera) – par for the course with in-crowd videos. The highlight comes about 3:00 minutes in; I’ll give you a hint: it’s shredding.

If anyone gets their hands on photos or the cover of ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’, send it my way!
