There’s a rule in the gangsta athlete handbook. Ok, more of a bylaw than a rule; it states “gangsta athletes must, above all else, take care of their boys”. Well, apparently that bylaw doesn’t run both ways because Mike Vick’s boys are turning star witness faster than Lindsey Lohan can break parole. According to ESPN reports Monday evening, two of Vick’s co-defendants Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips are expected to accept plea agreements that would then clear them to testify against Vick. Peace and Phillips would join Tony Taylor who already accepted a plea agreement and had the first slice from the “Sink Vick” cake.

It’s got to be salt in the wound for Vick to have Joey Harrington take the reigns in the ATL. Harrington’s the consummate interview- squeaky and glib to a fault- just ask anyone in Detroit. It’s like Vick is Bruce Willis, the Falcons are Demi Moore, and Joey Harrington is Ashton Kutcher. The only difference is that Ashton Kutcher’s movies are slightly better than Harrington’s NFL stats, and Demi Moore is a little hotter than the Falcons.

And memo to all future athletes: if you see ESPN’s legal analyst Roger Cossack anywhere near you, your house, your locker room, the house where your dogs fight, wherever, Run Like Hell. He’s bad news and his presence means someone’s going down. He’s like the television grim reaper. He and Jeremy Schaap.

You’re welcome.

Wriststrong, the fame food chain and that darn Katie Couric. Enjoy.
