After taking a plea and admitting to participating in and sponsoring dogfighting on his own property, the NFL has finally convened on the matter and decided to suspend Michael Vick indefinitely without pay. In plain English this means that he is done playing football in the NFL. So what now? Maybe when he is turned loose in 12--18 months, Arena Football will get its hands on their very own Beckham!

A Word or 100+: Ooops, I missed the Tonys, malhereusement. If there's a pick tonight, other than arena football, then it's the US version of Creature Comforts on CBS at 8:00 p.m. (from the creator of Wallace and Gromit).

Los Angeles is still tied for last in the West, but can celebrate a commanding win over Edmonton. The Oilers have lost eight in a row and have scored just two goals in their past three...
