We Wondered Why he Walked so Flunky

Our apologies to Marvin Williams......All this time we thought he had a corncob stuck up his rear end that made him walk so flunky. 

It turned out to be a bad back.


We're sorry......but you're still not a good basketball player.

Hawks' Williams has back procedure

Published: June 8, 2011 at 2:34 PM

ATLANTA, June 8 (UPI) -- Atlanta Hawks forward Marvin Williams walked out of a clinic Wednesday after undergoing a procedure to fix a bulging disc in his back, the team said.

Williams, who averaged 10.4 points and 4.8 rebounds this past season, is expected to resume full basketball activity in six to eight weeks.

The outpatient discectomy on his lower back was performed by Dr. Hal Silcox of Peachtree Orthopedic Clinics.

The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Williams, who turns 25 June 19, already has six seasons under his belt with the Hawks, averaging 11.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in 430 games.

Another....Life-line......For Michael Vick

We know.....or have been told......cats have nine lives.

Humans?

No.......Unless it involves Michael Vick...and the NFL.

After a birthday party gone bad.......a shooting.....an investigation.....

Vick is still alive and well in the NFL:

NFL says Vick can play

PHILADELPHIA, July 26 (UPI) -- The NFL said Monday quarterback Michael Vick, under a bit of a cloud after a shooting outside his birthday celebration, can play this season.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello sent a Twitter message saying "there has been no change in his playing status." Aiello said the NFL would have no further comment for now.
Vick was to report to the Philadelphia Eagles' training camp Monday.

The Philadelphia Daily News had reported the league cleared Vick following an investigation into last month's shooting outside a restaurant.

While the quarterback, who is trying to rebuild his career after serving federal prison time for dogfighting, was cleared as a suspect and no charges were filed in the shooting incident, he was reported to have been in a confrontation before it happened.That placed him in the position of potentially facing league discipline.
