| 12/26/24 | Michael Vick discusses Ravens QB Lamar Jackson breaking his rushing record. When Michael Vick was a young boy growing up in the Ridley Circle housing project in the impoverished East End neighborhood of Newport News, Virginia, he spent endless hours playing what he called “hot ball.” “Playing football in the backyard, you'd throw the ball up in the air and you gotta dodge like 12 people,” the former NFL quarterback told The Baltimore Sun. “I got used to playing with no cleats and in tennis shoes and slides and learned to be balanced and time out where people are going.” It took Vick all the way to the top of the sport and made him a generational star. Along the way, he was selected to the Pro Bowl four times, became a video game icon and cultural phenom and set the NFL record for career rushing yards by a quarterback with 6,109.

| 12/25/24 | Ravens, MVP hopeful Lamar Jackson crush Texans, 31-2, to take AFC North lead. A security guard outside NRG stadium greeted fans joyously Wednesday afternoon, bellowing, “We got the greatest QB nationwide … Merry Christmas!” as fans made their way inside for what was billed as a blockbuster showdown between AFC division leaders, the Ravens and Texans. Already leading 17-2 on the Ravens' opening possession of the second half, Jackson kept the ball on a run-pass option, raced through a gaping hole in the right side of the line and ran untouched into the end zone 48 yards later. A few carries later on their next series, he dashed into history, eclipsing Michael Vick's NFL record of 6,109 career rushing yards for a quarterback.

| 10/04/24 | The Black quarterback is now the NFL’s leading man. But at what cost?. Black signal callers are no longer marginalized. But it also means that, to some extent, they have been forced to become company men Two years ago, under a cloudless sky in north central Louisiana, Doug Williams and Michael Vick met on the football field at Grambling University’s Eddie G Robinson Memorial Stadium to reflect on the NFL trail they helped blaze. In 1988 Williams led Washington past Denver in Super Bowl XXII, breaking fresh ground: he was the first Black quarterback to start in a Super Bowl and finished the game as MVP. In 2001 Vick was the top pick in the NFL draft.
