There has been much discussion going around on the significance of Barry Bonds hitting as many home runs as Babe Ruth. People are on both sides. Some think it's huge. Some say, "Not so fast. It's not a record or anything."

Well, it is huge. If anyone is bigger than the game, then it's the Babe. If Bonds (no matter what you think of him and no matter what he might have used for boost) surpasses Hank Aaron, then yes that is bigger. But hitting as many home runs as the Babe is something that as little as 10 years ago people were saying wouldn't happen again. Well it's about to, and it's big. In how many all-time categories in any sport can you name who is No. 2. I heard Mike Greenberg ask that question on the radio the other morning. He's right. Off the top of my head I can only think of one: Ty Cobb in all-time hits.

Well, I'm off to turn on the TV and see if history happens tonight.

Nobody's talking about Marcus Vick in Miami. The most recent Dolphins blog report out of the Miami Herald talked about a lot of players in regards to their work at the Dolphins' minicamp, but there was no mention of Marcus. There were some positive things said about quarterback Justin Holland out of Colorado State.

So it doesn't look like Marcus Vick has found a pro home. Sounds like he has a lot of work to do to get to that level.
He might get to see a lot of Canada or Europe before he sees a lot of NFL cities, if he ever does.

If anything else happens with Vick, we'll let you know.

Any Virginia Tech fan I have spoken with was happy to see Marcus Vick go undrafted this past weekend. They're still happy no one has signed him. So now we will all be interested to see how his tryout with the Miami Dolphins goes this weekend.

How serious are the Dolphins about Vick? Hard to say. One thing's for sure, they needed to bring a QB into this rookie minicamp because they didn't draft any. Somebody has to throw to the receivers.

Nick Saban isn't the type of coach to suffer a less-than-good attitude, particularly from a nonstarter. So Marcus will be evaluated in that regard just as much as he will be in regard to his performance. And he'd better be in pretty good shape. That will say a lot about his maturity.
