QuoteFlags down over Block award to Eagles' Vick
Animal advocates outraged over teammates' choice
For years Darlene Sanders Harris donated money to the Ed Block Courage Awards Foundation and looked forward to the annual ceremony in Baltimore where she could mingle with the NFL players who won the prestigious honor and hear their inspiring stories.
But as the Ed Block organization formally announces its winners today, the Glen Burnie animal advocate, along with at least a thousand others, will be protesting, appalled that the Philadelphia Eagles' Michael Vick, just released from prison for his role in a brutal dog-fighting operation, was chosen to be on the winners list.
Vick's Eagles teammates voted for him to get the award, named after a longtime Baltimore Colts trainer who also worked as a physical therapist at a hospital for disabled children. The Baltimore-based foundation seeks to honor players who are "role models" and "exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage."
"Even if I wasn't an animal advocate, this would very much offend me - if I was a fellow recipient, this would offend me," Harris said Monday. "It's a slap in the face to Ed Block. Michael Vick is not courage material."
At a news conference last week, the Eagles showed their support for Vick. Coach Andy Reid said he wasn't worried about how others might judge the award.
"Everybody is going to have their opinion on it, I'm sure," Reid said. "Until you've been with him for the hours that his teammates have been with him and seen him through all these different things that he's had to go through, that time-tested part of it, you can't appreciate it."
Eagles spokesman Derek Boyko said neither Vick nor anyone from the team was available for comment on Monday. Vick, who's been working with the Humane Society of the United States since his release in May from jail, speaking to young people about dogfighting, has said he's prevailed over much adversity lately.
At last week's news conference, Vick said, "I've overcome a lot, more than probably one single individual can handle or bear. You ask certain people to walk through my shoes, they probably couldn't do. Probably 95 percent of the people in this world because nobody had to endure what I've been through, situations I've been put in, situations I put myself in and decisions I have made, whether they have been good or bad."
However, Harris and others are making sure their disapproval is heard. She started an action group on Facebook, urging people to help her stop Vick's award. On Monday, the group topped 300 members.
A similar online petition at Change.org has attracted nearly 700 supporters.
Others are firing off letters to the charity, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals issued a statement criticizing the Eagles' choice of Vick.
"Michael Vick should not be someone anyone points to as a model of sportsmanship, even though he has now exchanged dogs for touchdowns after serving time for extreme cruelty to numerous animals," said PETA.
Anna Vitale Lybrook, treasurer of the Ed Block Award Foundation board, said board members called a meeting to discuss the situation Monday night. "We're as surprised as anyone else," she said. "We're kind of taken aback by it."
The organization has never before questioned any team's award selection, Lybrook said, adding that the group wants to definitively distance itself from what was the Eagles' own choice.
"We are innocent in all of this," she said.
Paul Mittermeier, the Ed Block organization's spokesman, acknowledged getting "a few" e-mails from protesters.
He also pointed out that an ESPN poll found that 51 percent of people "were OK with him getting the award."
"It's definitely something that's been debated over the last couple of days," Mittermeier said.
The Foundation's CEO, Sam Lamantia, to whom many of the protest letters are addressed, did not return calls Monday. Board members could not be reached late Monday.
Other players who have won the Block award include Joe Montana, Tiki Barber, Peyton Manning, Jerry Rice and Dan Marino.
This year the Baltimore Ravens selected safety Dawan Landry, who after suffering a serious neck injury and missing the last 14 games of the 2008 season, returned this year to regain his starting job.
The winners will be honored in March at a gala at Baltimore's Martin's West reception hall.
Earlier this year when the Humane Society asked Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon if it could bring Vick to town to speak at a school, Baltimore's new Anti-Animal Cruelty Task Force unanimously vetoed the idea. Task Force Chairwoman Caroline Griffin said Monday she planned to draft a letter to the Ed Block Foundation "expressing our grave disappointment and concerns."
Meanwhile board member Aileen Gabbey, executive director of the Maryland SPCA, said her organization is "shocked and appalled" Vick would be awarded for anything.
"I fail to see how he has done anything courageous. He did time. He's lucky to be employed. I don't see anything courageous about that," she said. "I'm particularly concerned about the message this award sends to kids: that a man who was convicted of severe cruelty gains not only a lucrative job but is specially honored, as well."
He's braved coming out into the world where animal-loving psychos will try and assassinate him.
It's about time Haloti Ngata made it to the Pro Bowl. And good for Ray Rice, he's earned it.

Yeah. Ngata is a monster, if a little undisciplined. That said, it's common for players from Oregon to be undisciplined, and it'll probably wash off after another year or two in the pros.
As for Rice, that's a no-brainer. Some people are whining about how Thomas Jones got jobbed, but given that Rice has 600 yards more than he does, I'd say it's pretty fair.

Yeah, but Reed and Polamalu are to the safety position as Manning and Brady are to the QB, at least when it comes to the Pro Bowl. Brady could turn into Jay Cutler and he'd still go to the Pro Bowl.
Today's playoff picture:
AFC: Win and In: Ravens, Jets.
NFC: A bit more complex.
The Texans are doing it right. Welker is hurt, can Brady be far behind?
And it was Pollard who hurt Welker, to boot. That guy should go to the Hall of Fame as a contributor, for taking revenge on cheaters.
So let's see... I need the Vikings to beat the Giants, then the Cowgirls to beat the Eagles.

He missed the shit out of a PAT today right after that defensive TD. The ball....went...sideways. The guy is at less than 70% this year, and has missed several
very important kicks. Shanking the hell out of a PAT occasionally wouldn't be too bad (mistakes happen and all that) if it wasn't something that's been going on all year.

Given who it was, I'm surprised the whining didn't get a flag thrown on Barwin. Then another one when Barwin had the balls to get yelled at by Brady.
Oh nice catch there Jacoby Jones. That guy's strange. Makes a good play recovering that weird fumble by Moats, has a couple of good catches, then turns around and lets a pass bounce off his hands. Still very young though, of course. He seems to have cut down on the punt return muffs this year at least.

Well, it is annoying when a shit team like the Jets can make the playoffs by being lucky enough to play two clinched teams at the end of the year. :P
Still, nothing will come of this. How could it? They've tried this before, and you just can't come up with an enforceable rule. What are they going to do, say that if a player makes a certain amount of money, you have to play him for at least three quarters?

Oh God their secret weapon Hoyer is in. The Texans have a tendency to make backup QBs look like hall of famers.

Whatever...I was planning on cheering for a Ravens - Packers Super Bowl anyway. Of course if the Texans somehow make it......

Good job Raiders. Ugh. Also, nicely done benching your top two receiving threats Josh McDaniels. It seems to be working out well for you. If I were a Ravens fan, I wouldn't find this win encouraging. They owe one giant McGahee run and Jamarcus turning the ball over twice for the win. Their inability to sustain long drives and put points on the board is rather troubling.

Meh, factor in two missed field goals and a passing attack that only did what it needed to do, and it was fine. I expected the Raiders to fight in the trenches.
The inability to protect Flacco consistently--and his inability to GET RID OF THE FUCKING FOOTBALL--is a bit troubling, though.

Hmmm, Jets or Texans in the playoffs...sorry, MBM, but the Texans are just plain too dangerous.
Then again, they're exactly the kind of team that could upset the Cincinnati Ochocincos next week.
I leave it in Fate's hands. Because if it were in NFLShop.com's hands, you know it'd go to the Jets.

It'd be interesting to see how the Texans react in their first playoffs ever, especially against a team they've already beaten. They'd have to play the Colts in the second round if they won though, and they don't have a good history vs. the Colts. Sure, the games have been close recently, but they've still only won one. :Embarrass:

QuoteMcDonald: Al Davis deserves most of the blame for Raiders' losing ways
By Jerry McDonald
Oakland Tribune
Posted: 01/03/2010 07:19:05 PM PST
As the uncertainty of another failed season circulated throughout the Raiders locker room, there were sincere requests for continuity, for staying the course with Tom Cable, and the belief that better days lie ahead.
Desperately seeking a final validation for the seventh consecutive season of double-digit losses, Cable even talked up the importance of win No. 6 _ a total that would have been sneered at when the topic was division titles and championships when Al Davis removed ``interim'' from his title last off-season.
Instead, there was a 21-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Two second-half turnovers from quarterback JaMarcus Russell after Charlie Frye left at halftime with a back strain. A defense which gave up 240 yards rushing overall and three touchdowns to Willis McGahee.
All before an announced crowd of 38,400 that looked more like 28,400.
So now begins the dissection of the coaching staff and the roster, the analysis of who stays and who goes, with the final decisions resting with the man ultimately responsible for all the problems.
Think about that for a minute.
The inescapable conclusion is that Al Davis is the man most responsible for the franchise being in such disrepair.
He's the only common denominator not only for the last seven years, but since a return to Oakland that has been a failed experiment judging from a history of three winning seasons in 15 years.
The Raiders have lost 33 more games in their second go-round in Oakland than they did the first time, yet still adorn their press releases with ``Team of the Decades'' and ``Commitment to Excellence.''
By order of Al Davis.
The Raiders have fired six coaches (Mike White, Joe Bugel, Bill Callahan, Norv Turner, Art Shell and Lane Kiffin), traded another (Jon Gruden) and could send Cable packing this week.
All since 1995.
By order of Al Davis.
The Raiders have too frequently failed to draft and develop their own top prospects into elite players. Russell, Darren McFadden and Darrius Heyward-Bey are all young enough to turn it around, but their early returns have been discouraging.
In the case of Russell, who Davis promised would be great, it's well beyond discouraging.
The Raiders don't have a director of college scouting in their media guide, but it's a role that belongs to Davis.
Too many times, the Raiders have made disastrous forays into free agency and the trade market, with acquisitions such as Randy Moss, DeAngelo Hall, Gibril Wilson and Javon Walker doing more harm than good, either because of the toxic environment or simply misjudging talent.
The Raiders don't have a director of pro personnel in their media guide, but it's a role that belongs to Davis.
As one of his former coaches lamented, ``He's the director of pro personnel, he's the director of college personnel, he's the general manager and he's the de-facto defensive coordinator.''
He's also not in good health and even Davis' ever-shrinking inner circle understands the man they have long worshipped either needs to accept some help or designate some to assume his myriad roles.
Some of the men closest to Davis made their way to a party thrown by Gruden last Dec. 14, and the Raiders response was to request that Ricky's Sports Lounge and Grill remove all photos from its Web site which had included people currently employed by the Raiders.
Thus, the message is that it's fine to reminisce and get caught up in the 1970s, but not the three-year run which Gruden helped ignite from 2000 through 2002.
For someone who has an aura so big, Davis can come off as very small.
John Madden didn't make it to the party that night, but he seemed to be of a like mind with most of the attendees based on a question and answer feature on Dec. 27 with the New York Post.
Question: Do you think Al Davis should hire a football czar?
Madden: ``I think he knows he should. When he had Bruce Allen and Jon Gruden, that was a pretty good team.''
It keeps coming back to Gruden and Allen because they're the only two people who, in conjunction with Davis, had the Raiders even remotely close to their storied past.
Allen is general manager of the Washington Redskins, Gruden is sticking with television for another year. And the biggest crime of all is Davis wouldn't ask, anyway.
The Raiders have the 31st-best record in the NFL over the past seven years at 29-83, one game better than the Detroit Lions. They're the first team in NFL history to have lost 11 or more games for seven consecutive seasons.
You'd think an owner with a passion for winning and an abiding love for all things silver and black would look to the person most responsible and take action. He's never tolerated that kind of performance from anyone else.
But that would take looking in the mirror.
Short of that, the annual blame game begins with Tom Cable.
QuoteCook: Steelers' painful season fittingly ended
Monday, January 04, 2010
By Ron Cook, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
MIAMI -- You can argue from now until next season that it's a crying shame the Steelers missed the playoffs despite playing some of their best ball down the stretch and winning their final three games. I look at it differently. I say it would have been an injustice of incredible magnitude if they had snuck in despite that hideous five-game losing streak that started at midseason.
Almost always, you get what you deserve in life.
Clearly, the Steelers don't deserve to play in this postseason because of their losses to three of the NFL's 98-pound weaklings -- the Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns.
Really, that's obvious, isn't it?
"Ain't no one to blame but the Steelers," safety Ryan Clark said, getting it exactly right.
Disappointment was evident in every corner of the team's locker room yesterday after its 30-24 victory against the Miami Dolphins. The players quickly found out their playoff chances were all but doomed because the Houston Texans scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to beat the New England Patriots, 34-27. They were officially eliminated when the Baltimore Ravens wrapped up a 21-13 victory against the Raiders last night about the time the Steelers' flight was supposed to land in Pittsburgh.
The anguish was especially clear at wide receiver Hines Ward's locker. His pain had little to do with two hamstrings that ached so badly that he had a hard time pulling on his socks. It had much more to do with the awful reality that the Steelers weren't going to get the opportunity to make it three Super Bowls in five seasons.
"We just couldn't stop the bleeding and it came back to haunt us," Ward said of that five-game losing streak. "It's a shame. We've got a good team. We just didn't play good football in November ...
"I'm glad that we finished the year 3-0. But I'm not a moral-victory guy. Expectations are high around here. I don't know what to say except to apologize to our fans for not getting them to where we are supposed to be. To win the Super Bowl one year and not even get in the next, it's disappointing."
It's embarrassing, actually.
Certainly, injuries were a part of it. If I'm ranking the most indispensable Steelers, I put quarterback Ben Roethlisberger No. 1, safety Troy Polamalu No. 2 and defensive end Aaron Smith No. 3. The team had to play most of the season without Polamalu and Smith. They also lost an important division game at Baltimore Nov. 29 without the concussed Roethlisberger.
But there are no excuses for losing to the Chiefs, Raiders at home and Browns. The Chiefs had gone 4-30 in their previous 34 games before they beat the Steelers Nov. 22. The Raiders had scored 10 touchdowns in 11 games before they scored three in the fourth quarter to stun the Steelers Dec. 6. The Browns had the NFL's worst defense before they kept the Steelers' offense out of the end zone Dec. 10.
That's way beyond disappointing or even embarrassing.
That's why people who blame the Steelers' predicament on the Indianapolis Colts for tanking their game against the New York Jets last week or on the Patriots for blowing a late 27-13 lead yesterday are dead wrong.
When you start the season 14-0, as the Colts did, you earned the right to get ready for the playoffs any way you see fit. If that means sitting quarterback Peyton Manning and doing consequential damage to the Steelers' playoff hopes, so be it.
When you wrap up your division early, as the Patriots did, you don't have to play quarterback Tom Brady on the final drive against the Texans with the game still on the line. If Patriots coach Bill Belichick deserves criticism for anything, it's for keeping Brady in the game as long as he did or even for playing star wide receiver Wes Welker at all. Welker left early with what appeared to be a serious knee injury. I'm sure there are a lot of fans in New England who wish the Patriots had taken the game yesterday a lot less seriously.
Many people in Steelers Nation seem to forget that their favorite team, after wrapping up the division title in 2004, chose to sit Roethlisberger and running back Jerome Bettis in the final regular-season game at Buffalo. Those same people have some nerve for criticizing the Colts for sitting Manning.
"You know how that goes," Steelers tackle Willie Colon said, rolling his eyes. "When your team does it, it's good, smart football getting ready for the playoffs. When another team does it to you, they're cowards.
"No matter what, this all comes back to us. You keep asking yourself, 'How did we get in this position? If we had just won one of those five games ... ' "
If.
What is a shame is that the Steelers just might have been able to do some damage in the playoffs. Their defense, after looking as if it would blow one final fourth-quarter lead yesterday, stiffened at the end with interceptions by Clark and cornerback Ike Taylor. And their offense, which scored 30, 23 and 37 points in games since that fiasco in Cleveland ...
"Our offense is unbelievable right now," Clark said. "That would scare a lot of teams."
Added Colon, "I don't think any team would want to see us in the postseason. Everybody knows that."
Of course, no team has to face the Steelers in these playoffs.
The Steelers didn't qualify.
This painful season, that's just as it should be.
Yes, I like posting obituaries. Especially for teams I hate.
Dear Baltimore Ravens,
Please don't fuck it up.
Cheers, Tom Brady's ex-lovers.
The Jets actually won. :cool:
Now let's see them play like that against Cinci next week.
Jim Zorn got fired.
QuoteThe Washington Redskins fired coach Jim Zorn upon his arrival at Redskins Park at roughly 2:15 a.m. Monday after the team's trip to San Diego, two Washington television stations report.
The firing was expected for some time, as Zorn was stripped of play-calling duties in October. The team lost its final game of the season 23-20 against the Chargers and finished the season at 4-12. GM Vinny Cerrato resigned in mid-December and was replaced by Bruce Allen.
Zorn is 12-20 in two seasons as the Redskins' coach.
About 2:45 a.m. Redskins security ordered all media to leave the parking lot at the team's facility, with one security guard saying that was so Zorn could leave without being bothered, according to a Washington Post report. Zorn left Redskins Park at 4:45 a.m.
An announcement regarding Zorn's replacement could come as early as Monday. Former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan has been rumored to be the new hire for weeks.
You know, even if the Colts hadn't greased the skids for the Jets, the Steelers still wouldn't have made the playoffs, as those kids from Houston would have made it in.

Nothing like what was going on at Foxboro before they put the artificial turf in, or like what goes on at Heinz or anything, but it's a natural surface that has been used for 10 NFL games, at least one college game, and whatever else they do in there. Trays or not, it gets worn out.
