ATLANTA – Now that Vick has officially traded in his electronic home-confinement monitor, he is expected to step up his efforts to resume his pro football career. Having paid his debt, it’s time to allow this man back into society and into the NFL in time for this upcoming season.

NASHVILLE – This is not the first time Washington Redskins All-Pro defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth has ‘stepped’ into trouble. Haynesworth who gained notoriety as a player for his infamous act of purposely stomping on Dallas Cowboy lineman Andre Gurode’s face with his cleats during a nationally televised game in 2006, was indicted on two misdemeanor traffic charges including reckless driving.

As expected, MLB’s home run king Barry Bonds pleaded not guilty to perjury charges related to his testimony in the much-publicized steroid investigation. Some feel all the charges against Bonds should have been dropped and Bonds is being singled out but the bottom line is, if Bonds lied under oath, after hitting 762 over the fence he may be spending two years behind one; a taller one decorated in barbed wire.

NEW YORK – Felony charges are expected this morning in New York against Plaxico Burress. In the state of New York, if a person possesses a loaded, unlicensed handgun in a place other than his residence or business, it is a felony.
The bad news for Burress is, the days of brushing celebrity and athlete criminal incidents under the rug, is long over (Google Paris Hilton and Michael Vick).

John Daly was so intoxicated he had passed out on the sidewalk outside the restaurant. So the cops took him to the drunk tank.
Daly, who has given up trying to get sober, has hit a new low and my concerns for him are well founded.

DENVER – Don’t expect Travis Henry to play in the NFL for a very long time and probably never. The former Denver Broncos running back that is notorious for fathering nine children from nine different mothers appeared back in court this week.
But this time it wasn’t to discuss child support. Henry was popped for allegedly participating in a drug deal Tuesday that was set up by the DEA.
