He’ll probably go down as one of the most stupid athletes ever. After signing a 10-year $130 million contract extension (with a guaranteed $37 million in bonuses) in 2004, Mike Vick became the richest player in the NFL. The Atlanta Falcons went balls to the walls with this guy, and essentially made him that dude in Atlanta for the rest of his career.

What would you do if your employer walked over to your desk at this very moment, and promised you no less than $37 million, with the strong strong possibility of an additional $130 million, and all you had to do was abide by the rules and work 7 months out the year for the next decade?

I spoke very briefly about Plaxico last week, after the fool shot himself in the leg. Reports mentioned then that though Burress had a gun permit registered in the state of Florida, it had expired. To add salt to the bullet wound, even if it weren’t expired – New York and New Jersey aren’t reciprocity states in terms of acknowledging & accepting permits from other states. For this reason, though Burress hurt no one other than his dumb ass self, he was in danger of facing criminal charges.

Our NFL “Hot Boy” for today is Troy Polamalu. With his fine self! The 27 yr old Safety with the Pittsburgh Steelers is of Samoan descent (if it wasn’t already obvious). He is a California native where he attended USC, with a general studies major (lol).

Plaxico Burress, star receiver for the New York Giants “accidentally” shot himself in the leg at a restaurant/club this weekend according to reports.
