Each year, the Ed Block Courage Awards honors those National Football League players who exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. Recipients are selected by their teammates for team effort, as well as individual performance.

The Ed Block Courage Award recipient symbolizes professionalism, great strength and dedication. He is also a community role model.

I don’t know about you but this description does not motivate me, nor encourage me to think of Michal Vick of all people. Yes, he paid his dues. Yes, he did is time for the crime. Yes, he has a lot to prove.

But Courageous?

C’mon?

Seriously?

    Michael Vick earned the Ed Block Courage award as much as President Obama earned his Nobel Peace Prize. WTF??
