Football is truly the most fun and the most rewarding when you understand the personalities behind the sport. Every player and every coach has a story. As you begin to learn about the background of a football player, his strengths and weaknesses, and his struggles and successes, you will begin to watch with a newly found interest. Instead of watching footballs go up and down a field, you will be watching players who have invested their lives in the sport.
These 8 stories are in NO order.. Pls feel free to comment anything you think should be included. Enjoy!

5.Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles, QB
In April 2007, investigators raided a home owned by Vick and his associates, whose professional names are P-funk, Q, and T, which, ironically enough, would be good names for a dog, as would Vick's professional dogfighting circuit name, "Ookie." At the time, the police were executing a warrant in a narcotics investigation involving Vick’s cousin Bodie when they stumbled across “evidence of dog fighting,” which was confirmed by “dog fighting paperwork” Vick kept. For some reason.
Sick.. Urm.. Vick was charged on multiple counts of illegal gambling and animal cruelty. The indictment alleges that Vick was present during the killing of eight dogs, and that another 50 pit bulls intended for fighting were found at his home. Vick strongly denied all of the allegations made in the indictment.
On August 24, 2007, Vick plead guilty to most of the allegations in the indictment including conspiracy to operate an interstate dogfighting ring. He admitted to financing the bulk of the operation and to being aware that underperforming dogs were killed. He did not admit to killing any dogs himself, however, which was a really good PR move.
On December 10, 2007, Vick was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison. Vick is now playing for Philadelphia Eagles and has just won offensive player of the month for NFC.

6. Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings, QB
Favre is the only NFL player, since Johnny Unitas, to have won the league MVP 3 times. He is also the only player to have pretend-retired from professional sports 37 times. ;) pls check out this very bias article on for the full Favre story http://www.dickipedia.org/dick.php?title=Brett_Favre

The event was later referred to as a "wardrobe malfunction" The incident, sometimes referred to as Nipplegate, was widely discussed. Along with the rest of the halftime show, it led to an immediate crackdown and widespread debate on perceived indecency in broadcasting.The halftime show was produced by MTV and was supposedly themed around the network's Rock the Vote campaign. Following the incident, the NFL announced that MTV, which also produced the halftime show for Super Bowl XXXVIII would never be involved in another halftime show.
