Might as well say goodbye to Michael Vick. NFL commisoner Roger Goodell told Vick not to come to training camp this week until the league reviews the dogfighting charges against him.
"While it is for the criminal justice system to determine your guilt or innocence, it is my responsibility as commissioner of the National Football League to determine whether your conduct, even if not criminal, nonetheless violated league policies, including the Personal Conduct Policy," Goodell said in a letter to the quarterback.
Vick will still get his preseason pay and Goodell told the Falcons to withhold any disciplinary action of their own until the league's review was completed.

Russell Simmons Starts Letter Writing Campaign Against Michael Vick
In no way, shape or form do I support dogfighting, but still I have a problem with Russell Simmons writing letters to the companies Michael Vick endorses (Nike, Rawlings, Hasbro, Coca-Cola, Easton Sports, and Kraft) urging them to drop support of Vick before he even gets a chance at a fair trial.

Gary Dourdan Punches Out Paparazzi
When I first started writing this blog, one of the first stories I covered was Gary Dourdan's ex-girlfriend accusing him of rape and battery, and him pleading "no contest" to the battery but not the rape. Then, in May of '07, TMZ caught Gary being denied entry to a hot club, and later attacking their lensman for capturing his humiliation on tape. So how come they're acting so surprised that he did it again? That's right, yesterday Gary attacked another TMZ camera guy and it's all on film, kinda. Watch the tape for yourself, I didn't see any actual blows thrown, but Gary does roll up on them acting tough. Click

Michael Vick Indicted
on one count of conspiracy to transport dogs across state lines for the purpose of dog fighting. Papers, filed earlier this month by federal authorities in U.S. District Court in Richmond, noted that dog fights have been sponsored by "Bad Newz Kennels" at the property since at least 2002. Fifty-four animals were recovered from the property during searches in April, along with a "rape stand," used to hold dogs in place for mating; an electric treadmill modified for dogs; and a bloodied piece of carpeting, the documents said. During a June search of the property, investigators uncovered the graves of seven pit bulls that were killed by members of "Bad Newz Kennels" following sessions to test whether dogs would be good fighters, the documents said.

Dave Hospitalized For "Exhaustion"
Yesterday a gang of people called a DC radio station claiming Dave Chappelle was in rehab. Not so says his publicist. Dave went to the emergency room for "physical exhaustion." She says he was treated with "food, water and sleep" for about 12 hours and then went home. That's their story and they're sticking to it.
