Sports: Michael Vick leaves the uncomfortable confines of prison

  • Ohhh, he’s halfway there. Ohhh, livin’ on a prayer. Vick, the former Atlanta Falcons QB, will go into home confinement in Virginia for the last two months of his sentence for dog fighting, with long-term hopes to, you know, actually make it to the NFL again someday. On the plus side, he’s speaking like a remorseful person, which is helping his cause. source

Sports: Da Bears on da new guy, Jay Cutler

  • He had some things that happened in Denver. We recognized those, but we treated them as just speed bumps, part of the growing process.
  • Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo • Whose team traded to get Jay Cutler out of a strained situation with the Denver Broncos. They better like it; if he doesn’t work out, they just lost a couple of first-round picks for the honor. • source

Sports: Jay Cutler says the Broncos never actually reached him

  • A simple, terse, “no” text message says it all. Cutler, who wanted a trade, and is now getting one apparently, did not get contacted repeatedly like the Broncos made it seem earlier today. Cutler’s agent, Bus Cook, in fact noted that they had only tried to contact him (not Jay, who noted the lack of contact via text message) on Tuesday, and the trade news was a bit of a shock. “I heard from Jay when he called to tell me he just saw on TV he was being traded,” Cook said. “They can spin it the way they want to spin it.” Draaaaaaaaama. source

Culture: The football superstar married the supermodel. Obviously.

  • Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen. Married. The couple exchanged vows last night in a “secret” ceremony at a Catholic church, which probably was a pain to get to because, seriously, how often do people get married on a random Thursday? Just sayin’. In case you forgot, Brady is the QB for the New England Patriots who was out this year due to injury, and Bundchen is the Brazillian model who’s currently wallpapering thousands of Windows desktops worldwide. source
