My ears are different, I guess. What I heard from Falcons owner Arthur Blank on "Monday Night Football" was that he wouldn't rule out the possibility of giving Michael Vick a job when he's released from prison. "Having just turned 65 in September, I've realized that the word never is a very strong word," Blank responded when Tony Kornheiser expressed surprise that Blank would consider bringing Vick back. To me, that was the headline from Blank's visit to the "MNF" booth. His throwaway line wondering whether a prison diet of fried chicken and french fries would ruin Vick's conditioning barely registered. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7559392?MSNHPHMA PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger missed practice again Thursday because of a sore right shoulder, with Charlie Batch running the starting offense in his place. On Tuesday, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Roethlisberger's problem wasn't a major one and, "I don't want to make more out of it than what it is." The Steelers haven't updated Roethlisberger's condition since then. Tomlin said Roethlisberger's status would be updated Friday. It is common for Steelers players who have relatively minor injuries to miss a day or two of practice, then take part in the final practice of the week Friday and play on Sunday. Batch hasn't started a game since the 2006 opener, when he threw three touchdown passes in a 28-17 victory over Miami. Roethlisberger, who missed that game after having appendicitis, has started each of the Steelers' 28 games since then. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7560408
