After the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 30-27 last night, Cowboys runningback Tashard Choice asked Michael Vick for an autograph. Choice’s actions raised eyebrows among Cowboy fans, but Choice is defending himself on Twitter saying:
If its anybody that cares about winning and the d cowboys its me. I apologize to the people it was just an innocent jesture for my nephew.
According to Choice, the autograph was for his three-year old nephew, and Vick “Has nothing to do with how I play on da feel. Y’all are a trip foreal,” he tweeted. “…We all exchange autographs. That’s so stupid for people to get mad about.”
In Choice’s defense, his nephew probably already knows at the age of three not to ask for any Cowboys’ autographs with a record of 4-9.

Our Twitter followers have asked us why Michael Vick was trending on Twitter. It isn’t National Anti-Animal Abuse Day nor has a new dog fighting scandal broken out, but one of PETA’s most notorious NFLers put up MVP caliber numbers in last night’s Monday Night Football game.
The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Redskins 59-28. Vick went 20/28 for 222 passing yards. Vick is known for his ability to run the ball, and last night was no exception; Vick was the second-leading rusher with 80 yards and 8 carries. The Eagles took a gamble when they signed Vick last summer, who had not played an NFL game since 2006, signing him to a $1.6 million contract for one year. This off season, Vick exercised a team option worth $5 million, but his contract expires at the end of the season
Vick’s career best game came on the heels of Donvan McNabb five year $88 million contract with Washington Redskins. McNabb played 10 seasons with the Eagles before being replaced by Vick, a risk that concerned many fans. News of McNabb’s contract has started rumors that a big contract is in store for Vick.
The Businessinsider.com is reporting last night’s game solidified a contract extension worth $50 million. It was just two Sundays ago that McNabb was benched for Rex Grossman leaving many football fans scratching their heads as to why McNabb got so much money.
The Eagles are currently 6-3, tied for first in the NFC East with the New York Giants. The team owes much of their success to Vick who leads the NFC in passing.

Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil disagreed with a refs calls against the Titans and let everyone know about it. Cecil gave the middle finger to the ref after the Titans were called on an a neutral zone infraction penalty. The NFL is expected to fine Cecil between $10,000-$25,000. The Titans have a history of flipping the bird, in 2009 owner Bud Adams was fined $250,000 after he gave the middle finger from the owners box after a Titans win over the Buffalo Bills.
Others who also had unfortunate bad luck in Week 4 of the NFL: Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler who left the Bears NY Giants game early. Cutler suffered a concussion after he was sacked nine times in the first half. The Giants beat the 4-0 Bears 17-3. Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick injured his ribs and is scheduled to have an MRI. The Eagles lost to the Washington Redskins and to a familiar face. Former Eagles QB and franchise player Donovan McNabb led the Redskins to victory, 17-12.
On Friday, a shooting broke out at the nightclub Michael Vick was celebrating his 30th birthday at. A lawyer for Vick quickly disputed the story by saying Vick had left the nightclub 30 minutes prior to the altercation. Now, the Daily Press reports video surveillance shows Vick leaving at 2:07am… not a half hour before but three minutes before the 2:10am shooting. According to a source, Quanis Phillips, who was involved in the shooting and also served as a co-defendant in the Vick dogfighting case, slapped Vick’s fiancee Kijafa Frink while she was feeding Vick cake causing cake to get on the Eagles’ backup QB. Little cake got on Vick, but the two did exchange words.
While the police have announced that Vick is not a person of interest in the shooting, NFL Commissioner Roger Godell may be of interest. Last July, when Vick was reinstated, Godell warned Vick not to associate with people involved in the dogfighting case and that his “margin for error was extremely limited.”
On Friday, the NFL released a statement saying that they were looking into the situation, but now word yet if a decision has been made or if they know who let the dogs out.
