Michael Vick is back in the news this week. From Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
I was encouraged to hear that Michael Vick, in advance of his reality show that debuts Tuesday on BET , is saying he led “a double life,” and I use the word “encouraged” advisedly. Because you don’t know how [...]

Other sites have much more detailed analysis here and here. [...]
I have been trying to find gambling blogs kind of like this one but I am not having too much success. With that said, I came across this guy.
