World turned upside down

The Philadelphia Eagles sign Michael Vick.

Tiger Woods loses the PGA Championship after going into the final round with a two-shot lead.

Talk about surprises.

The Vick signing is intriguing since it came completely out of the blue. I had him pegged as an Oakland Raider or a Cincinnati Bengal, since those are two places you'll probably find a lot of convicted criminals.

What will his signing mean for Donovan McNabb? The first time McNabb has a rough start, will the chants of "We want Vick" start? And, having spent most of my summers growing up in Philly with my family, I know how tough that town can be.

I'm all for second chances, but Vick better not blow this one.

As for Tiger, we saw he actually is human. Watching him yesterday, you could just get the sense early on he would have a fight on his hands. You just never thought it'd be from a virtual unknown in Y.E. Yang. But Yang played, well, Tiger like, while Woods looked like so many of his competitors flailing away at shots and putts when they are paired with him.

What's next, the Jets winning the Super Bowl?
