It’s safe to say Eagles’ quarterback Michael Vick out of the doghouse – well, at least his current on-field performance is overshadowing his growling past.

On Sunday, Vick zipped in four touchdowns and ran for two more. In 2010, he’s thrown 11 touchdowns to zero interceptions. Not too shabby for an ex-con. And if you’ve had a chance to watch him, you’d swear he must have been in the “The Longest Yard” – he’s shown some serious fearlessness when it comes to taking hits.

How ’bout this one: Vick is just the fourth quarterback since 1960 to tally a passer rating of at least 150 (min. 20 pass attempts) and rush for at least one touchdown. The complete list…

1.) Michael Vick, PHI 2010: 150.7 rating, 2 rush TD’s
2.) David Garrard, JAX 2010: 157.8 rating, 1 rush TD
3.) Jay Fiedler, MIA 2003: 156.0 rating, 1 rush TD
4.) Mark Malone, PIT 1984: 154.2 rating, 1 rush TD

Is yoga a sport? Not too sure. Laughing yoga? Really not sure. Either way, this guy’s too loony to skip out on.

What are the odds!? Seriously, what fisherman would ever would expect a Marlin to jump on a boat, much less spear one of them in the mouth? Don’t mess with Mother Nature.

How’s this for contrasting: if beauty is fleeting, Kobe Bryant‘s ego is relentless.

For once, I refuse to provide a supporting statement after that bashing one. Sorry, but his ego just kills it all. Let’s go back a few years for a lesson in egoism: Mr. “Bean” (Kobe’s middle name) assuming that buying his wife a $4 million ring after cheating on her would set things straight.

His potential one-on-one foe, LeBron James, is no better. But I can’t wait to see Kobe fall victim to the Evil Empire of the South – the Heat – in 2010-11.

Does anyone realize in Jose Bautista‘s crazy 2010 season that every single one of his 52 homers has been to left or left-center field? Even his lone inside-the-park dinger was laced to left-center field. Don’t believe me? Click HERE.

(The picture above is a snip of a home run chart – in this case, Bautista’s – and can be easily found on any player’s page at Baseball-Reference.com.)

For contrast’s sake, Padres’ slugger Adrian Gonzalez has hit 13 of his 29 homers to the opposite field this season. Add that to the 22 oppo bombs he hit out of 40 total in 2009 and he looks as similar to Bautista as Mick Jagger does to John Goodman.
