NFL PICKS VICK'S POCKET Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that the NFL has fined Falcons quarterback Michael Vick $10,000 for his obscene gestures to fans after Sunday's game against the Saints. The league also has asked Vick to contribute another $10,000 to the charity of his choice. How about the Herpes Awareness Fund? Glazer reports that, in the past, the league has fined players $5,000 for such behavior. Two years ago, that was the price Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer paid for showing his middle finger to a fan who was heckling him. So this is another example of the league's effort to crack down on misbehavior since the arrival of new Commissioner Roger Goodell. Good for the league, and good for Goodell. As to Vick, we continue to be troubled by the image of Vick shooting the bird, with a young fan wearing a Vick jersey in plain view, waving to his idol.
