Nike, which signed Vick as a rookie in 2001, terminated his contract in August 2007 after the Atlanta Falcons star filed a plea agreement admitting his involvement in the dogfighting ring. At the time, Nike called cruelty to animals ``inhumane, abhorrent and unacceptable'' and halted release of his fifth signature shoe, the Air Zoom Vick V. Back when Vick |

| financial problems since his release in July from federal custody after serving 18 months for running a dogfighting ring. In August, a judge approved Vick's plan to emerge from bankruptcy protection and repay his creditors $20 million. The former Atlanta Falcons star was accused of withdrawing more than $1.3 million from the pension plan of the company, known as MV7. The department alleged that Vick improperly used the money to help pay penalties imposed on him after his dogfighting conspiracy conviction.

Vick wound up being far less of a factor in his first regular-season action since coming back from a two-year suspension for a well-publicized involvement in a dog-fighting ring. The former Atlanta Falcons star was in for 11 plays, most of which were handoffs to rookie running back LeSean McCoy. Vick did have one carry for seven yards, but misfired on his only two pass attempts. "I think I played fairly well," said Vick afterward. "I think I made good |

FALCONS: The bye week gives teams time to regroup and adjust to the fast-paced world of the NFL. For the Atlanta Falcons, it will also give them time to digest their humble pie. Atlanta rolled through Miami and Carolina to begin the season, posting 47 points over its 2-0 start. Facing stiffer competition in the Tom Brady-lead New England Patriots, the Falcons offense |

After forcing their still-healing quarterback, Tom Brady, to put the football in the air 100 times during the team's middling 1-1 start, New England went to the ground a bit more often in Sunday's 26-10 handling of a good Atlanta Falcons team. Brady still threw the ball 42 times, but the work of a running game that churned up 165 yards undoubtedly eased the pressure when the future Hall of Famer did drop back to throw. "It was a more balanced day for us," said Brady, who threw for 2 |

Vick had not appeared in a regular season game since December 31, 2006, when he was the quarterback and franchise star of the Atlanta Falcons. That game, ironically, was played in Philadelphia. "The only difference was that this game counts towards our record," Vick said. "The atmosphere was great, I was excited to be out there, and I just enjoyed the moment -- soaked everything in." On t |

Heady with success, the Atlanta Falcons head to the road for the first time. Following dominant wins over Miami and Carolina, the Falcons face the unenviable task of visiting New England. Then again, this trip might not be the overwhelming challenge most teams have faced this decade in Foxborough. The Patriots are struggling to find a rhythm and ways to better protect Tom Brady. So far, the Falcons have looked more like the Patriots than New England has. ``The fact that we are able to have a fast star |
