Mixed Emotions: News Around the NFL
An article by James Edwards
Comments Off 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.
***** GO COWBOYS *****
Yes, the NFL will miss Jim Johnson, but I’m sure all the offenses won’t miss his blitz packages. Especially Romo.
As for Vick. I’m glad JJ is passing on him. Not because of what he did, but because I don’t think he is that good of a QB. Great athlete, just not a great QB.
No comment on the Giants.
Can we please stop with Favre now? I’m tired of watching NFLN Total access for an hour and 45 minutes being about Favre.

lol I titally agree Romo, E. Manning, and Campbell are three people in this world that definitely not miss him on the football field. But as a football fan it still hurts inside.
And does anybody find it wierd that the Giants are not being criticised for being in the news by the media but if someone with a star on their helmet even jaywalks its WW3 lol
