Exciting: Michael Vick is an Eagle, Madden 2010

For the tail tonight midnight for the release of Madden 2010, prepare to have an old version, with only a few minutes, Michael Vick, former NFL quarterback who was imprisoned for over a year for his involvement in dogfighting, signed a year, $ 1.6 million compared to a second year in accordance with the option of Philadelphia Eagles' official site.

The former Atlanta Falcon is expected that the current backup Eagles' QB Donovan McNabb and play a key role in the matter of the play as the Wildcat offense infamous letter last year by the Miami Dolphins for the Eagles tried several times with mediocre results. Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Vick from 6 games on the regular schedule, which can be reduced, and the desire to participate in team activities and training.

Being in a family, with the exception of UVA and rescue dogs, I think it is very strange and somewhat disturbing move by a team that has always been too McNabb and importance is placed on the (especially after the Terrell Owens fiasco). I will take a wait and see, but I can not say the loss of Dawkins Jim Johnson, a number of injuries and now it was a little depressing dead.

Weigh, to their own opinions and thoughts on the Eagles Michael Vick signature below in the comments section.

Gloria Grahame: Broadway Hollywood Discovery

Gloria Grahame began as a hope of Broadway and won an Oscar in Hollywood and unforgettable in some films.

Los Angeles-born Grahame has been involved in a comedy in three acts, "The world is full of girls." The original game had no legs: It closed after nine performances (6-12 December 1943). Billed Gloria Hallward, as quickly became another part in another comedy in three acts, "A Highland Fling." The original lasted 28 performances (28 April 1944 to May 20, 1944).

These short concerts Grahame was given a chance: Louis B. Mayer saw her and signed her. In Hollywood, she took the name of Grahame, like her mother, actress, Jeanne McDougall has served (John Grahame). Under its contract with MGM Studios, made his first film: the 1944 "Blonde Fever."

Screenwriter Fake Sarah Palin Facebook Page Shutdown

"God loves us all, no matter how black or African, or even gay or we are Jews." This blessing exaggerated, the author believes, no doubt reminded its readers the false nature of the "governor Palin" Facebook has the profile of care during the summer. Not so. According to the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles screenwriter Alex Grossman created the fake Sarah Palin the person as an experiment to see how naive "faith in the fact" it was the Americans. His discovery: Very.

It seems that the most extravagant of the comments made by "Governor Palin" Grossman a Facebook page, fans of the real Palin has attracted. "Grossman admitted that sometimes he was guilty of deceiving the people," says the WSJ. "One woman wrote that he had a sick child and called 'Sarah' pray for him." I felt terrible, "said Grossman." E 'andato in an area not ready for. " "

Eventually, a sufficient number of people who are suspect enough to run ashore Grossman - August 9, the article says the WSJ, they are denied access to Facebook from your experiment. Grossman The story should serve as a fable of faith and a creation story ido mal. Grossman intentional displacement of the mundane pleasures and requests for salmon recipes Palin has attracted hundreds of fans who see it as a faith-based conservative messiah. His apparent reluctance to pull the plug on their own Frankenstein creation shows the extraordinary influence of new media - and the sense of the divine power that gives an anonymous blogger.

Forget Lori Drew, the "MySpace Mom" who was indicted in a federal court of fraud after he broke MySpace of the small against the creation of standards for printing fictitious profiles on social networking sites. The violation came to light only when a boy of 13 years of age committed suicide as a result of the manufacture of Drew, a young Hunk cyber friendship, and then dismissed the girl via instant messaging. Grossman, who has tried spoofing Palin unspoofable only to find her, has something different, if only as potentially dangerous.

What would have happened if he had invented a fictional folksy personality online and looked like a mass movement around the figure has grown into a powerful political force? You may have finished the experiment, or that he - or anyone - have been tempted to find a flesh and blood "face in the crowd" to embody your creative work?
