I don't believe Michael Vick. In fact, while watching his 60 Minutes interview on Sunday, I pretty much thought he was full of it. But I also have no problem with his being allowed to return to the NFL, where he will no doubt juke plenty of tacklers and throw just as many inaccurate passes at the feet of his receivers. That may seem contradictory -- not buying his mea culpas and yet not objecting to his reinstatement -- but that's because the real issue is not what Vick gave us on Sunday night, it's what we expected from him.
James Brown says he spelled out the rules with Michael Vick last May when the two spoke for 45 minutes at the United States Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan. Why was the CBS Sports anchor visiting Vick at a federal prison? He was looking for The Big Get, an interview with Vick following his 18 months in prison on charges related to his illegal dogfighting operation.
James Brown is awake by 4:30 most mornings. As the owner of a small trucking company in West Palm Beach, Fla., the father of six hauls sweet corn and sugar cane, lettuce and beans out of farm fields from sunup until sundown. For entertainment, he watches his youngest child, Jarrett, play football. "I don't know where he got all that talent from," the father says of West Virginia's starting quarterback. "Maybe it's just from working hard."
The Rev. Al Sharpton has been a pillar of support for the Jackson family since the moment the world found out Michael passed away. Sharpton is one of the few people to have a close relationship with the King of Pop and the man they both revered, James Brown, the Godfather of Soul.
In 2003, the BET Awards had a priceless moment when Michael Jackson surprised his idol, James Brown, by showing up on stage where the duo thrilled the audience with an electrifying performance.
A New York school district superintendent wrestled to the ground a gun-wielding parent apparently irate over the school's latest swine flu memo, officials said.
Record the CNN Special Investigations Unit Classroom Edition: James Brown: Say it Proud when it airs commercial-free on Monday, December 22, 2008, from approximately 4:10-- 5:00 a.m. ET on CNN. (A short feature begins at 4:00 a.m. and precedes the program.)
The music of Philadelphia International Records sounds effortless: the easygoing groove of the O'Jays' "Love Train," the triumphant horns of MFSB's "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)," even the cocky declamations of Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones."

An entertainer chanted the James Brown lyrics: "I feel good, I knew that I would," outside Berlin's Babylon theater, the venue for the Obama Election party organized by the Democrats abroad.
News of the financial crisis is everywhere. And while average Americans used to feel blissfully disconnected to the workings of Wall Street, it's now become clear that the fates of those on Wall Street and Main Street are closely linked.
He was the hardest working man in show business, but judging from his possessions up for auction Thursday at Christie's in New York, James Brown also knew how to have a really good time.
In NASCAR circles they refer to the "silly season" as the flurry of personnel moves and team-switching between the last race of one season and the start of the next. Sports television has its own silly season, especially when it comes to the broadcast partners of the National Football League.
The official mascot of the University of Virginia is the musketeer-like Cavalier, but unofficially it's the wahoo, a fish that, according to student legend, can drink twice its weight in a day. That's probably not what Thomas Jefferson had in mind when he designed U.Va.'s elegant neoclassical brick buildings and colonnades.
James Brown was the most multifaceted, multitalented and complex person I've ever known, researched or interviewed. Just take a look at his journey, from poverty to riches, freedom to jail, illiteracy to fighting for better education.
James Brown, the legendary R&B belter, a singer and songwriter who created a foundation for funk and provided the roots of rap, a man of many nicknames but a talent that can only be described as one of a kind, is dead.
