You can smell it in the air

Is professional sports great, or what!

Have you been following the Michael Vick story? Does that get you ready for some football or what?

I for one don't think we will ever see Vick wearing the Falcon's No. 7 jersey again. And, I for one HOPE we don't!

I don't care if he is convicted or aquitted of the dogfighting charges against him. I've seen enough to know he was smack in the middle of it all.

The amazing thing about Vick is that he was able to hide his rogue character as long as he did. There were several tell tale signs beginning to creep out suggesting he was something other than he appeared.

Maybe I'm judging him a little harshly. No, I'm not. The underground world of dogfighting is more dangerous and brutal than most can imagine.

If you grow tired of the Falcons and the Vick dogfighting saga, you can always tune in and watch Barry Bonds break the homerun record.

If his steroidal feats don't excite you, pick yourself up a Playboy magazine in October. Cover your eyes and don't look at the pictures, but peek through your fingers and you will probably read everything you ever wanted to know about the soon to be homerun champ. Probably a lot you didn't want to know, too.

Scorned women like his ex-mistress of 10 years who is doing a show and tell in the magazine tend to tell us a lot of things we really didn't need to know.

Awkward time to bring it up with all that talk about

Playboy, but thank you Lord for that heavy rainfall outside. I'm sure that little one-liner is being drowned out by some big ones.
