Does President Obama have Michael Vick on his fantasy team? The 44th President of the United States called Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie to thank him for signing the notorious quarterback and giving him a second chance.
It’s a good thing too, Vick is the leading candidate for the NFL’s MVP and has helped the Eagles to the NFC Division title. Obama spoke to Lurie after he announced he would be adding solar panels to Eagles’ stadium Lincoln Financial Field.
According to Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, the President told Lurie, “It’s never a level playing field for prisoners when they get out of jail.” Lurie said Obama thought, “We did something on such a national stage that showed our faith in giving someone a second chance after such a major downfall.”
After all, America is built on second chances, just don’t let Vick Bo!

Our leading candidate for Jersey Chaser of the Year, Kim Kardashian has launched a Twitter campaign asking her more than 5 million followers to write to US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to pass a bill condemning the Armenian Genocide.
Proud of her heritage, Kardashian is none too happy that while Armenians fight for recognition, LA Laker Kobe Bryant has signed a contract to endorse Turkish Airlines. In 1915, Turkey committed a mass massacre on Armenia, but Turkey refuses to admit the genocide took place. Los Angeles is home to one of the largest Armenian populations in the US, and Kobe’s newest endorsement deal has angered many including Kardashian.
Kardashian asked her brother-in-law and Bryant’s teammate Lamar Odom to talk to him to get out of the contract. While Bryant has not spoken publicly on the controversy, he allegedly told Kardashian he signed a business contract, and it is not political.
Merry Christmas from your favorite Chasers…. remember to vote for Jersey Chaser of the Year!
