Wednesday Scenic City Sports Update

No baseball or football last night, so not too much to update. I'll have the Best of Fulmer article up later today.

UPDATE!!!

Atlanta Falcons

In a surprising move, an arbitrator ruled that the Falcons can get $19.9 million back from Michael Vick. Good grief. There is a part of me that is starting to feel sorry for Vick at this point, though I agree with the ruling since the Falcons paid Vick to, you know, actually play football. There will be further appeals, but this has to be a ray of sunshine for an otherwise gloomy year in Atlanta.

Coach Petrino addressed the situation with an unhappy Alge Crumpler, saying the two had "decent" talks. I don't know what that means, but I hope it means more balls for Crumpler. Crumpler has been a stalwart for the Falcons for years, a solid receiving option...okay, Crumpler is my fantasy tight end and his lack of production is killing me. KILLING ME! THROW HIM THE BALL!!!

Tennessee Titans

Pacman Jones thinks he has done enough to be reinstated. Well, he did win the TNA Tag Team titles. I don't know what Goodell told Pacman about getting himself back into the league, but I hope this isn't, as Chris Rock would say, someone wanting credit for what they are supposed to do. Does Pacman think that staying out of jail is enough to get back into the NFL? Does he think that avoiding strip clubs is good behavior?

He would help the Titans...

Tennessee Vols

Bulletin board material from Sylvester Croom? The Vols are taking it as such after Croom said the Vols need nine in the box to stop the Bulldogs run. Weird move from Croom. Why do you want to fire up an already fired-up team? Is Mississippi State talking trash - the same MSU that hasn't been to a bowl game in years? Croom...come on, man. What are you thinking?

Look for the Best of Fulmer article later today. Have a great Wednesday.
