A major stir was created on Friday afternoon, when Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald reported that quarterback Mike Vick would be working out for the Patriots at 3:30 p.m. EDT.
As it turns out, it wasn’t Mike Vick. (And we can now — and forever — say with a high degree of confidence that the only way Mike Vick ever will be in Foxborough is as a member of the visiting team.)
But another quarterback worked out for the Patriots yesterday, at or about 3:30 p.m. EDT.
It was Cleo Lemon, a five-year veteran who has been bouncing around the league of late.
Sure, both Lemon and Vick are African-American. But Lemon looks nothing like Vick.
Meanwhile, we continue to receive e-mails from readers insisting that Vick was in Pittsburgh on Friday.
Lemon, Vick…they all look the same.
I am talking about quarterbacks, of course.
if pats get Vick, i guarentee he proofs everyone wrong
“if pats get Vick, i guarentee he proofs everyone wrong”
I think you need to proof your writing…
What does he need to prove anyways? I haven’t really heard anyone doubting his ability. The reason people are hesitant to sign him is because it could be bad for PR. It’s not a question of his playing ability…
he’s gonna proof everyone wrong huh??? I can’t wait to see that, w/e it means.
i bet he causes no distraction
he could be a model citizen and it would still be a distraction. whoever signs him will deal with massive PR issues, PETA protests at home games, etc etc…
he’d still have teams interested if he was a good QB. unfortunately for him, he’s not.
You’re correct, Mr. Florio. Cleo Lemon is two inches taller than Mike Vick and has a better career completion percentage. I’m curious where Darlington got his tip, though. You would thing he’d recognize a player who started seven games for the Dolphins in 2007, given he writes for the MIAMI Herald.
Tommy, you’re joking……….right?
“But Lemon looks nothing like Vick.”

Kind of looks like Wayne Brady.
