Michael Vick was released from federal prison today. Duh, you already know that with ESPN and everyone else and their mother covering it.
6magainze just wants to say welcome home Mr. Vick. You have paid your debt to society, and anyone else that doesn't think so can stand on their soap box complain for as long as they want, but it doesn't matter because you are free homie.
Home confinement for two months will probably suck, but compared to washing dishes for 12 cents an hour, it's probably Heaven.
As a fan of football and yours especially, I'd like to offer a few words of advice. Stay out of strip clubs please. Make nice with PETA, as we all know they are more powerful than the government. Work hard and remember the famous Paul Arden quote, "It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be." Challenges in life come to us all, and you can surely overcome this. God allows everything to happen for a reason. So keep your head up and work hard, because you will definitely reap what you sow.
Stay away from certain teams: The Oakland Raiders, although they are my favorite team, Al Davis is psycho. The Bengals, birds of a feather flock together, but you my friend are a reformed man. Also, you see how they do Mr. Johnson. The Browns, management does not run the team, the fans "boo decibel" meter does, and when they boo you enough you'll get yanked from the game. And yes, that's right, fans know everything about football and always make the right decisions. If the Detroit Lions come calling just run. There is no explanation I can give you, but to just listen to me and run away as fast as possible.
Every other team is fair game. In fact, I suggest these teams: The Denver Broncos, I have a strange feeling that Kyle Orton or Chris Simms will not cut it. Houston Texans, Matt Schaub has under-performed since signing a big money free agent deal two seasons ago. You beat him out in Atlanta, why can't you do it again? Jaguars, David Garrad is looking like a one year wonder so far. Titans, you are a lot better and right now cheaper than Vince Young and Kerry Collins. Pathers, Jake is not going to play forever. Vikings, please go the Vikings they need you bad. 49ers, Shaun Hill, Damon Huard, Alex Smith, if you can't beat either of these guys out you don't deserve to be in the league. Lastly, the Seahawks, Jim Mora was your head coach in your glory days in Atlanta, Hassleback is not going to play forever and his performance has slipped.
All in all. We are glad to have you back Mike. Hope to see you on a football field soon. Give 6magazine your first interview. We deserve it!
What happens when you take a two young educated African-Americans with street cred who love football more than Republicans love guns and oil or Democrats love nature and health care?
You get Richard aka Riverboat Ricky, a young college graduate from the University of Oklahoma, and currently pursuing his Master's degree at the University of Texas. Yes the black Benedict Arnold of our time.
Richard ran track for 2 years at the University of Oklahoma and walked-on to the University of Oklahoma football team as well for one year.
Richard loves football and all things football. He has two seasons in his life, football season and waiting for football season.
Claude aka Lina is a recent Master's graduate of the University of Oklahoma as well as a former DE at University of Oklahoma.
Claude loves football almost as much as Richard. The jury is still out on who loves it more.
Richard's tamed but smug-witted writing and Claude's tell it like it is with a few ad libs ala Young Jeezy style of writing make for 6magazine™ and 6magazineOnline™.

We understand the contemporary football fan and aim to improve football knowledge but also the emerging trends and insider information that is often times only available for those with enough money to pay for a highly expensive membership. 6 aims to make football accessible at the highest level for anyone who understands football and is more than a machismo bumper car match.
