i was going to ask you about tony dungy. super bowl winning coach in the nfl, retired now. talk to us about tony dungy and his role in michael vick's life and the amount of credibility he brings to this entire situation. >> that's the word perfect, credibility. there are few men associated with the nfl that are respected more than tony dungy. he is somebody. i don't care, coaches, media, players who you talk to. here's what i see about michael vick. by having tony dungy in his life perhaps for the first time he has someone now that he a role model and a mentor and a mentor that cares about him and michael vick s as a person and michael vick is going to need that. he has donovan mcnabb there, he is a close friend from back in his college days. andy reid i talked about what he brings to the table and the eagles organization and now tony dungy. michael vick is going to be facing, this morning's "philadelphia daily news" this was the headline on the front of the daily news. we know philadelphia sports fans have been very cruel o

tony dungy is the gentleman of the national football league. andy reid, tremendous football coach, has managed a lot of personalities and dealt with a lot of situations in his career. what was so interesting about that is that was the most we've heard from michael vick in more than two years. in fact, he's not known for giving long press conferences and going on. he was not repetitive. he is well thought out. and i believe he is rendering a true heart here that he wants to be a part of the solution and not the problem and part of rehabilitation, the american people have to realize is getting a job. this is no great reward for michael vick. this is what he does for a living. and he believes in a second chance and i thought a key statement was he realized that there aren't a lot of second chances and he has to make the most of it. actions have to speak louder than words. i think the road to recovery, this could be a real lesson for america and i think peta needs to back off. they came out with a statement yesterday. >> you think they are pushing

. >> h much respect do you have for tony dungy for putting himself on the line this w? >> he rlly did, b he has been working wh ex-proners for a lg time as fars helping wh the rehabilitation process angetting them acclimad back into society. thiss no differentxcept you are dealing wh a hh profile player. he iout there, and a lot of that respoibility is going to be put ohis shoulders if michl fails again. but that is the kd of person tony dungy is. >> he ishe first africaamerican head coach to win in the super bowl. i want to go to the book, and i want to start with parallel. thanklly you never got caught upn a dogghting stanley or anyting near like that in your career, but the were -- or there w a line that you had to walk asn african-amican quarterback, not bei accepted. >> right. >> here you are, you are the only player inhe canadian and nfl halls of fame and thenly black quarterback to ben our hall ofame. tell me aut the uglyide, the side of being a black quarteack back in youray? >> a lot of peoplet any time want to accept that the africaamericans could ev play theo

thought he would be very positive and i hope that bears out. >> how much does that help him, having tony dungyn your side? >> i think it helps him immensely. tony is a man of great character and great faith. but, remember, he's also a football coach and you can't fool him. the fact tony is standing behind michael means michael is authentic and he's going to make the commitment to earn the trust not only of his teammates and his coaches but the public. >> so stay tuned. let's turn now to rick patino, another apology this week. >> if you tell the truth, your problem becomes part of your past. if you lie, it becomes part of your future. and i made a very difficult decision to tell the truth to the federal authorities, the local authorities, to university officials and most important, to people that love me the most, my family and friends. >> all right. so he apologized. he faced it head on. he said i was wrong. does this help him at least in the court of public opinion? >> i think it does. but what we also have to remember, while rape is a vicious, vicious crime, the false accusation of rape is a

. >> how much respect do you have for tony dungy for putting himself on the line this way? >> he really did, but he has been working with ex-prisoners for a long time as far as helping with the rehabilitation process and getting them acclimated back into society. this is no different except you are dealing with a high profile player. he is out there, and a lot of that responsibility is going to be put on his shoulders if michael fails again. but that is the kind of person tony dungy is. >> he is the first african-american head coach to win in the super bowl. i want to go to the book, and i want to start with a parallel. thankfully you never got caught up in a dogfighting stanley or anything near like that in your career, but there were -- or there was a line that you had to walk as an african-american quarterback, not being accepted. >> right. >> here you are, you are the only player in the canadadian a nfl halls of fame and the only black quarterback to be in our hall of fame. tell me about the ugly side, the side of being a black quarterback back in your day? >> a lot of

all right, you spoke with tony dungy. what were his feelings on vick signing with the eagles?> he really believes it's one of the best spots possible for him. and michael vick himself did because there were certain things they wanted in place, strong ownership, strong organization, strong leadership both in the front office and the head coach and an established quarterback because mike vick himself knows he's not ready to just jump into football. but it was really interesting to talk to tony this morning because there are two levels there. on one level with andy reid, he felt like andy feels that michael vick can help this team at some point later in a football season, but on a personal level because of what andy reid has experienced with his own son and some criminal legalities or illegalities, he did believe in giving young people, a young person a second chance who wanted a second chance. flip over the michael vick. michael vick has already spoken to boys and girs clubs in his first couple weeks out of home confinement. it was an eye-opener for michael vick because he had f

>> tony dungy: i've visited a lot of prisons. that's something that i do. there are a lot of young men, especially african-american young men, who need a chance, who made a mistake, who did something wrong, who had a problem, but are looking to bounce back. that's what i've always been concerned about. not just for michael vick, but for hundreds of guys that i've talked to. >> brown: pacelle's relationship with vick is even more unlikely. his organization provided evidence that helped put vick in prison. while pacelle says he remains skeptical, he nevertheless enlisted vick as an anti-dog- fighting ambassador. >> wayne pacelle: if we just punish mike indefinitely and don't pivot to this problem in the communities, where kids are victimizing these dogs and then going down a dead-end street themselves-- because there are no heroic dog fighters-- we will not be doing our job. and i felt we needed to get involved and we needed to do some creative things to reach these kids. so that's why we have our community based programs. and i am really hopeful that mike st

someone who knows much more is tony dungy, the indianapolis colts head coach.e said, listen, the 18 months he spent behind bars gave him a chance to step back and get away from the friends and the posse and the whirlwind lifestyle of a superstar nfl quarterback and realize the things he did were wrong. he says right now he really sees a different michael vick. he said even right away when it was first known that he was talking to vick, he said ten falcons players of michael vick reached out to dungy and said tell him i said hi and give him my phone number and i'm really glad he's on the way back. >> obviously, has a lot of support within the industry there and surrounding himself with some pretty powerful people who believe in him. we'll have to wait and see, i know, but, larry, thank you so much for keeping us informed. >> reporter: okay. thank you. >>> now, we want to know what you think of all this as we're learning how eagles fans feel. what do you believe? how do you see michael vick coming back with the philadelphia eagles? good, bad? call us at 1-877-tel

tony dungy is his personal mentor.ook him in the eye and say, do i believe what you say? that's on ongoing process. >> what else does the commissioner need to hear from michael vick? does it matter, making statements and press conferences or is it coming down to him looking him in the eye. >> i'm lucky enough to have worked with roger for a number of years and eagles owner for a number of year. they are sincere individuals who care about their team and their legal. the eagles are one of the top five franchises in the league, worth well over a billion dollars. they believe in second chances. i think the philadelphia process has a number of mentors built into the process. >> you talked about michael vick getting in shape. he was a superstar. not a starter yet, of course. he talked about this yesterday. he's not ready to step in and take the starting role. >> i have been away from the game for two years. i got to start somewhere. i have to crawl before i walk. i can't imagine going out after a two year hiatus, going out a

tony dungy scolded michael vick. he was upset that he was seen drinking pineapple juice and vodka.'t give the media or public any ammunition to suggest that he isn't doing everything he can to devote himself totally to football. what happens in delaware stays in delaware. it doesn't have the same ring as vegas. the state of delaware would love nothing more than to be like sin city when it comes to sports betting. it doesn't look like it will happen. a federal appeals court has ruled that a plan to offer sports betting in delaware would violate a federal ban. that's good news to others who oppose the state. the state was claiming it was exempt from the federal ban because it ran a sports lottery in 1976. a three-judge panel disagreed. >> still to come, brett favre didn't have a memorable vikings debut. why number four will have an opportunity to blow his game stats out of the water. >> and miami's michael beasley checked into a rehab faci (announcer) don't go unnoticed don't blend in don't be ordinary, boring or bland in other words don't be so mayo we are our unique one of a kind f

after allegedly having a cocktail in a bar, his mentor tony dungy said, michael, you can't do that. ck has not been fully reinstateded yet by the nfl. under these circumstances probably not a good idea for him to be out drinking. even if dungy is not pleased, you know the eagles aren't pleased. dirk novitzke's ex-girlfriend was supposed to five years in prison for violating probation. she is in custody carrying his unborn child. novitzke is seeking full custody. taylor was arrested twice in texas and was on probation for a forgery and theft case in missouri. >>> all right. fans in wisconsin are showing their displeasure over brett leaving. we'll never forget you, brent t-shirts. they know how to spell his name. then there is the benedict brent t-shirts. >> traitors is what they're calling him. but no all of them. >> a couple walked in and said, hey, you shouldn't have those t-shirts up. oh, come on, they're funny. >> a warning if you're in the job market. there is a new scam that could take all of your money. ♪ ♪ your hands are mine to hold >>> the l.a. county coroner ruled michael j

clearly tony dungy fits the bill there. brian: tony dungy so impressive and that's your take.you are sold on it. here is what michael had to say about losing $137 billion. let's listen. >> for the cynics, michael vick might be more concerned about the fact that his career was hurt than dogs were hurt. >> i mean, football don't even matter, you know. >> losing 135-million-dollar contract doesn't matter? >> it don't matter. it don't matter. i deserved to lose that. brian: because did he an illegal act. people who aren't sports fans and you can d. this as a journalist and not as a sports anchor. sports journalist, they are wondering does he know the feeling? does he regret the feeling of holding a dog under water until he drowns of electrociewght a dog. putting a domestic annal in with a proven dogfighter? can he feel how wrong that was? >> brian, and that is the laser focus that i tried to keep in mind be in conducting this interview and you are right it wasn't as a sportscaster as much as being a journalist to ask all the questions that i think people wanted to have answers to.

i want to say thank you to the commissioner goodell, i want to say thank you to tony -- tony dungy, who is serving as my mentor, also being influential in my walk and helping redefine me as an individual and just giving me the proper advice and being there and having open dialogue with me at all times. i want to say thank you to my agent joe siegal, who has been there through the ups and downs and through the hardest times of my life. judy smith as well as other people who have contributed in my comeback. once again, i know everybody is thinking why philadelphia, first off i think it's one of the flagship organizations, great tradition, great staff, great organization. it's a great place and i just want to be a part of a great tradition and give this team every opportunity to win a superbowl. this is -- i'm considering this my first year, my first year back. i'm not trying to come out and -- i'm just trying to fit where ever i can, get acclimated and just do whatever i can to help this team succeed and reach the superbowl. with that said, i know i probably left some people out who i nee

and i tell you, if you pick someone to be a mentor, to help turn a young man around, than tony dungy. i will take his word. >> if there's no hope for michael vick, there's no hope for many other people in our society who have done wrong and need a path back to society. what he did was absolutely horrible. i'm a dog owner. i love animals and he paid the price, he served his sentence. he's paid a lot much larger price, in terms of his reputation. but, i would hope they would give him an opportunity to make amends to society. i believe in redemption. i believe in forgiveness. >> one other thing that happened this week, the 40th anniversary of woodstock. lot of celebration by baby boomers of baby boomers. this concert, ron, i know that my generational bias is showing and unfair, wasn't this just a concert? >> we're from woodstock as wood stock was from the crash of 1949. it was a moment that seemed to symbolize an entire decade. almost li it was just like a concert. it was kind of a symbol of what was a pretty broad change in social and culture morales. in some way it's worth noting that

michael vick today talking alongside his new head coach, andy reid and tony dungi.ichael vick will not replace the current starter, donovan mcnabb. he says, he wouldn't even expect to. >> i have been away from the game for two years. i i've got to start somewhere. i have to crawl before i walk. i can't imagine going out after a two-year hiatus, going out and trying to be a starter for a football team. i just don't think it could happen with as much god-given ability that i have, i don't think that i will be able to do it. i think i could but i wouldn't risk it. you know, i just need time to get my feet wet and get acclimated. >> well, michael vick served 18 months on a federal dogfighting sentence for charges related to dogfighting. that has left some people here very upset. about a couple dozen protestors outside of the gates letting their views be known. as you mentioned, some of those tickets going up on craigslist some fans not very happy. this is a reality for michael vick regardless of how much he plays this season. he is only 29 years old. the headline readin

tony dungy said i don't think mike vick you understand how serious a challenge it will be. it will be an uphill road to climb. number two, if you look at how he handled things in atlanta, he displayed a ferretair amount of hubris and arrogance. so he's aware of the fact of the matter is how he deals with under fire remains to be seen. >> j.b., thanks, we appreciate it. >> good to be here with this quarterback, you. >> you can see his interview with michael vick on "60 minutes" this sunday at 7:00 p.m. eastern on cbs. >> all eyes on philadelphia this season. >>> up next, jon and kate plus some cops? the latest on that 911 call that brought police to their home. plus, hollywood's new fall guy, harry hurt is off to stunt school. is he in for a world of hurt? ♪ ♪ enjoy one of life's... little pleasures. ♪ yoplait has a sweetly satisfying taste... and creamy texture... that you can't resist. yoplait. in 25 delicious flavors. it is so good. >>> jon and kate, plus a few police. more than a few. cops called to the pennsylvania home of the separated reality star jon and kate gosseli

last night vick had a conversation with the mentor tony dungy. former colts coach told vick not to overreact to how people react to you. that remains one of the biggest questions going into vick's eagles debut tonight. how will the fans react? history says if struck plays well, then the fans will quickly forget about everything else. the eagles hosting the jaguars and vick is expected to play early in the game. as a matter of fact, one report said he might even be in on the first play of the game. he will even be in there at the same time starting quarterback donovan mcnabb. how long show plays according to eagles head coach andy reid depends on how he reacts to live game action. >>> years ago when the redskins went away to training cam in carlisle, one of the things they looked forward to was coming to the welcome home luncheon when they returned. an event that signified the end of training camp p the fans don't go to training camp anymore but still have the welcome home luncheon. hundreds of fans packed the tysons ritz-carlton for a chance to m

i will ask you, keith, the mentoring, the league has asked tony dungy to be his mentor and help in his rehabilitation. >> that's what a lot of young guys, especially dealing with the type of salaries they get when they play these sports. some guys they go out and get these salaries and they really don't know how to handle it. never had that type of money before. never lived this type of lifestyle and then you become an icon but you are still a human being. >> reporter: people love their animals, they are innocent. even more so than the innocent human victims of crime. do you see fans paying big money, willing to support someone who's done something to helpless animal? >> well, we eat chicken. they hunt deer. they hunt ducks. i don't agree with that. so there is a lot of things that people do. and we look at it and say, okay, we like a little pretty dog or cat in the house and stuff like that but we sit at a table and eat a steak. that was an innocent cow and innocent bull. are we all vegans is the whole of society vegans? there is a lot to look at. as well as martha stewart she wroted

i was a huge tony dungy fan and wonder how you are doing as the season approaches and what do you think of bret favre coming back? >> talking about coach dungy, there have been transitions and fortunately the new coach has been here years under the coach and he will coach from the same principals and same book as tony dungy as well as bringing his personal flavor. it won't be on the sidelines and his presence will still be felt. players will use a lot of technique that is the coach used in the individual careers and positions. we will miss him even though it feels like he will be with us. as far as bret favre, i have to say i'm not surprised that he's coming back. i don't know if anybody should be. last year was probably a little more of a concern because he was in the afc and now back in the nfc. he is eli's problem in the giants and the packers and the bears and those guys' problems. >> that's a nice handoff. >> it's a little dramatic. i'm kind of the non-drama guy. i try to -- i have to be on tv, but usually by force and not by choice. it has been dramatic, but we will see how it all

that could be worth up to $6.8 million was flanked by eagles' coach andy reid and vick's mentor tony dungy. he said he can't believe what he did and is helping the animals and everything in the future. this was the deal, because of the liability vick presented, reid protested, it wasn't clear if he was going to get a job in the league. how well he does in this ongoing press conference and seems to be doing pretty well could make league sponsors and 44 of the eagles' sponsors feel better about their exposure to risk. and there you see, it seems like the press conference is over. did he a pretty good job. listen, vick is doing what he has to do here. he said he would take all questions. i didn't expect this to only last 27 minutes. but now he's just got to work with everyone who hates him. >> well, will they have him on the sidelines? >> no. because that would be not genuine. >> with a german shepherd? >> no. >> larry is a dog-lover, i want to say to everyone out there who is about to e-mail us. when we come back, what will this do to the philadelphia eagles and is michael vick worth the ris

on friday, i spoke with tony dungy, the former super bowl winning coach of the indianapolis colts who been a mentor of vicks over the last couple of months and talked about his role in helping vick make this transition and get back on the field. >> well, i talked to andy reid a lot, i talked to the eagles organization, and i just talked about a lot of young men who make mistakes, who go down the wrong path, and what you've got to try to figure out is if they've changed, are they different? are they going to be a good teammate and a good person for the community, and i told the eagles i thought he would be. >> and we did see some protesters out there. michael vick is going to see this. philadelphia fans are tough on the players that they like. it's infamous, the booing of santa claus at an eagles' game once. this will be a part of his career, his live, his playing time on the field. he'll see these things. >> and he's already been at practice. how ready is he? >> the video i saw, he looked pretty good. one of our coworkers is an eagles fan, had a tight spiral on his ball. he cannot pla

take him at his word, tony dungy's involvement in this is an encouraging sign. written a book about leadership and fatherhood and just a straight up guy and seems like a genuine guy. for him to be involved in counseling this athlete is. >> the humane society was deeply skeptical of the idea and resistant for quite some time. as i look at the clips from his news conference on friday, i was not terribly moved. maybe he is just not a very impressive public speaker but to just say now i want to be part of the solution, you know, i was involved in a pointless activity. it wasn't pointless. it was horrible. it was absolutely monsterrous, not pointless. >> i heard you say that the owner searched his soul, i'm surprised he didn't say i consulted with my talk. which is all about. let me add if he starts to play, put me on the defensive line and i will take care of him. >> chris: the point about that is so 1950s, philadelphia made the decision after they lost the backup quarterback who just went down this last week. is that a coincidence? >> it is about winning and money.

we've been hearing a lot about tony dungy lately.l, he dives into not just the physical part it, but all about, you know, character and ethics and just good stuff that's going to help your kid better be prepared for the very violent gameym of football. check that out. >> you can learn a lot of lessons from football, any sport. >> you can learn so many things from team sports, tony dungy's r-?u? zone '09. >> "glamour" magazine has this deal out. when we stand in front of a mirror often the first thing we look at, oh, my god, lookzv at stomach, my thighs, i don't want to/w turn around, blah, blah, blah.xgg we have aer isible self-perception, that's one of yourÑi issues. >> it is? >> every picture, that's your achilles heel. tell the truth. >> zg7automatic' honest unlike e peopl i know. >> in "glamour" they had a picture of axd 20-year-old mode know, like -- >> if youmf don't love yoursel it's impossiblex$$uz love anybo else really. >> you have a lot ofál ñ saying today. >> my cousin, mickey, one of the greatest jazz pianists ever ma

tony dungy retired. defensive coordinator ron meeks went to carolina.s released as a salary cap casualty. but thanks to reggie wayne and peyton manning, the colts have a strong foundation. >> it's certainly difference. it's certainly an adjustment when you lose two guys that have that big of an impact on our team, and certainly on me, you know. it will take a lot of getting used to, up to the right. everybody's adjusting, even the coaches to not having coach dungy around. but that's part of what training camp is for. and i think that the more prices we have, the more everybody will settle in. but like coach said last night, we have no room to work up until now, but with who is here. it felt good to be back out there. i felt like a rookie again. i was excited to be driving up here again. and i was glad to be back out here today, and hopefully staying on the field throughout the entire training camp. >> in addition to the changes we talked about, offensive coordinator howard moore, and howard mudd retired. and then unretired. and they're back on the staff

tony dungy will be there with vick. you can see it.first practice will be on saturday. >> 5:58. that's how long tom brady played last season. he missed the entire preseason with a mysterious right foot injury. and then safety bernard powell rolled into his left leg in the first quarter of the season opener. for the first time since the knee injury and the pats open for pret season in phillie. this took a back seat to all the michael vick news. brady to chris baker, the former jets and it's 7-0 patriots. ensuing drive, the eagles love to run the screenplay. donovan mcnabb to rookie mccoy. gain of 17 yards. also 10 carries for 55 yards for mccoy. that would lead to a field goal. ensuing patriots drive, brady going deep for randy moss. but it's picked off by shelden brown. brady, however, would shake off mistake. as he played until late in thesi first half. here we are in the second quarter. brady goes back to moss. inside the 15. three catches, 54 yards for number 81. same drive, 3rd and 7. brady goes back to chris baker. brady 10 or 15

he has hooked up with tony dungy, who is a man without parallel in terms of his stature. is this guy -- we can hear contrition in some of what he had to say in quotation marks, as he rehabilitated. >> i think that is to be determined. certainly that will be rehabilitated over a period of time if he is sustained in his efforts as he is committed to the humane society and to kids around the country. you know what, harry, certainly the 18 months that he served and 2 months in home confinement, he was very detailed, very specific about the light going on recognizing the error of his ways. again, i mentioned before that he was introduced to it early on as a kid and didn't see anything wrong with it. but he's got to answer the question to those people who want to give him a second chance to see if he's serious about it. >> so how surprised are you then -- let's go all the way back. take off the reporter's hat, just the sports hat now. he signs with philadelphia. how big a story is that? >> significant. all 32 teams prior to it said they didn't want anything to do with him. i'm

. >> the well-respected tony dungy has been in his corner counseling him and that has helped him a great stallworth, dui manslaughter, suspended for the year by the nfl. is there a problem in the league? >> he has put his foot down, roger goodell has on off-the-field problems and even the union and players have been behind that and like that he's doing that because a lot of the other players don't want a couple of bad apples or bad situations to make it look like every nfl player is bad so goodell has put his foot down well. this was kind of expected from the stallworth camp to be out a year. they thought that would be the harshest. >> mike and mike as always, appreciate your time. i know you got to take some daals about all this. have a great weekend, you two. >> thanks, robin. >> you too. >> they're going to take calls. we'd love to hear from you. go to out shout-out board at abcnews.com. now, 7:35. >>> robin, we want to turn to disturbing news about girls and body image. experts say 65% of 11-year-old girls think they're fat. 11-year-olds. it's appalling but understandable i guess giv

harry reid will be here as well as former indianapolis colts head coach tony dungy.lso, dominik mcnabb, the philadelphia quarterback says he supports michael vick being a part of this team. >> i think for a guy who has, i mean, spoken the truth in front of the nation and has served his time and for a guy who is just looking for an opportunity to come and get his feet back on the ground. i think he deserves it. i look forward to him joining us the next couple days. for all who, you know, are dog lovers and i have dogs myself, i've looked past it and i think everybody else should, as well. >> well, certainly, donovan mcnabb is somebody who is a starting quarterback and remain the starting quarterback here and michael vick comes in as potential backup in case mcnabb is injured but don't be surprised to see him on the field in a number of oways. the question is how fast can he be, get ready into football shape. i want to show you one thing from one of the newspaper headlines this morning. this is one of this morning's headlines in the "difl daily news" that says hide you

. >> i know so little about football, but one of the few people i have bir interviewed to me is tony dungy. >> and the league set him up as his mentor. you can't touch that. >> what's the bottom line? does this hurt the eagles? >> the eagles' owner came out and you got the sense what a hard decision this was. i don't think anyone returns their tickets. i think until be some protests. it depends how michael vick handles it. he should work with peta and everyone and i think they could move on here. >> all right. got to pay his debt to society. makes a good point there. >> he did pay ace debt. >>> secretary of massachusetts of state rejecting an offer to settle fraud charges. we're going to speak with william galvin. >> and the "fast money" halftime report. melissa, what are you watching? >> everyone might be wondering is the summer rally over. we'll tell what you the options traders are pricing in. two words -- we'll also be looking at heat parked out with earnings and we take our position on that tech. today on the ha time report. but first more "power lunch" right after this. how you could

vick's mentor tony dungy says he has spoken to several coaches who are very interested.irst interview after being released on dogfighting charges. is he going to do it for 60 minutes and jim brown at cbs. look at jeff gordon's car spinning violently. how would he be? perfectly fine. knocked out of the race though. held a good race for tony stewart. he does well. he wins a record fifth time at watkins. the victory gives him 260 point lead in the sprint cup race. and one more story for you. it's involving relationships which i'm an expert on. kate hudson has a new movie role and one she is playing quite well. it's a reality show. it's called good luck charm. ever since she and yankee slugger alex rodriguez went public with their relationship, last month his numbers have perked up big time. so have the yankees. arod's batting 30 points higher. he also socked key home runs in the recent sweep of the red sox four straight gates games. sources tell the new york daily news that hudson is well liked around yankee stadium. so we do have sources that say she is well liked around y

meanwhile, the mentor tony dungy said the quarterback is closer to signing with a nfl team.the former colts' coach last night said that quite a few coaches asked him to ask about vick and he will be on a team before training camp is over. >>> josh hamilton says he is sorry for falling off the wagon of pictures surfaced of drinking with unidentified women on the internet. it was in january of hamilton with the women, none of whom are his wife in tempe. >> shirtless. >> shirtless. he said he called his wife and team after this to apologize saying he's been sober ever since. >>> this story is crazy. an nhl hockey player allegedly beat up a cab driver over 20 cents. buffalo police say patrick kane and cousin attacking the cabbie. they pleaded not guilty and released. the cabbie described the alleged attack. >> one kane is joking me. the other one is punching me. don't you know who i am? messing with the wrong people. i said, i didn't have the extra 20 cents to give them change. >> which would mean they didn't want to tip the guy, too. you tip a driver. >> he says they gave him $

nfl commissioner roger goodell, eagles head coach andy reid and former super bowl winning coach tony dungymentor to vick the last couple months, he talked about his role in vick's life in getting him from prison to this point now, about to return to the nfl. >> well, i talked to andy reid a lot. i talked to the eagles organization. and i just talked about a lot of young men who make mistakes, who go down the wrong path. and what you've got to figure out is if they've changed, are they different, are they going to be a good teammate, a good person in the community, and i told the eagles i thought he would be, i thought he would be very positive and i hope that bears out. >> a couple things to keep in mind, wolf, first, the $1.6 million he'll earn in 2009, none of that money is guaranteed. on top of that, he may not play a regular-season game until week six. commissioner goodell has to sign off on when he'll return to play for the philadelphia eagles. >> he's got donovan mcnabb, the starting quarterback for the eagles, too, not too shabby a quarterback, either. we'll continue to watch the st
