Micheal Vick conditionally reinstated, Plaxico Burress to testify, Antonio Peirce to be charge in Burress shooting case, Brett Favre stays retired, and the NFL loses a great defensive mind…

Mike Vick the troubled superstar formerly of the Atlanta Falcons got the go ahead as of Monday morning that he will be allowed to play this season, but under certain stipulations. Tony Dungy must mentor Vick. Vick will not be allowed to play in the first 2 pre-season games, and he is still facing a regular season suspension no more than 5 games and no less than 1. Vick served his 23 and a half month sentence in prison, followed by house arrest and was released July 20th.

News has come out that ex Giants wide out Plaxico Burress will testify Wednesday morning in front of the grand jury, stemming from his November night club incident in which he shot himself in the thigh. Antonio Peirce is now under investigation in the same incident, Peirce drove Burress to the hospital and took the gun after the shooting.

Brett Favre told the Vikings he would remain retired. The 39-year old quarterback told reporters he didn’t feel like he could physically play at an acceptable level.

Now a more touching subject DC Jim Johnson has passed away today. Yes Johnson was a Eagle, but the man was a genius, a pure defensive genius. Remember the blitz and coverage packages he threw at our Tony Romo?

As football fans and lovers of the game we will miss you Jim.
