Mike Vick and Donovan McNabb together at last -- bet Rush Limbaugh would have something to say about that.

WINNERS

Mike Vick (MV7) 5.56 +1.45 +26.08%

We don't know if this is a good decision for the Eagles, but Vick's got a job. All the strum und drang over the signing we hope will turn into the beginning of a dialogue about our country's unrealistic and overly punitive relationship with ex-felons.

We don't want to hear shit from anybody who has an R. Kelly album that's for sure.

LOSERS

Enough of the gay baiting from the Drudge Report of black gossip. From the latest Beyonce headlines to their constant down low assertions -- trust us MTO, the homophobia is getting old.

Looks like there might need to be a slight market correction as more and more evidence is pointing to the fact that negligence may have been a factor in Michael Jackson's death. Which may mean we owe LaToya an apology.

Thank God Undercoverblackman is back blogging.  If not for him I would have had to learn about the awesome black rock blog Bold As Love from Jet magazine (ewww...).

Rob Fields, doing what he do.

RACE WAR ALERT!!! -- would be the headline if this were Drudge... but we're not.  So the Index falls slightly behind a race motivated prison riot in California.

BUY

The Nine Lives of Marion Barry

It's no secret that we here at the Index have had fun with Barry's story.  But, as much as anything, what fascinates us is his continued stay in the spotlight.  This HBO doc is right in our wheelhouse.

SELL

Kenneth Gladney

Nigga, please...

Being ranked No. 1 isn't enough.  Winning for the fifth time this year isn't either.  But all questions about whether Tiger Woods is back to being Tiger Woods will be answered this weekend at the PGA.  He's off to a good start, though.
