Tron Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen.

Green Lantern Nike Dunk Low
A while ago we talked about a Nike Superhero pack and hinted that there may be more on the horizon, well we can confirm that there is also a Green Lantern Dunk Low dropping.

Unfortunately if you arent a woman or a child you wont be wearing them as they are a GS only release. Via TheShoeGame.

Michael Vick Was a Better QB Than You Think
ARTICLE I FOUND TRYING TO FIND THE PRESS CONFERENCE AFTER VICK THREW 4 TOUCHDOWNS IN ONE GAME. I READ IT & IT MAKES SENSE. VICK WAS A BETTER QB THEN WE THOUGHT.
Before Michael Vick's run-in with the law, he was widely considered an exciting and elusive quarterback with below-average throwing ability. Usually, his poor completion percentage is cited as evidence of his lackluster passing ability. It seems that reputation is still with him. Case in point is this excerpt from Peter King's most recent post:
Well, as a quarterback, Vick was decidedly mediocre in his four full seasons starting for the Falcons. His completion percentages when he started at least 15 games -- 54.9, 56.4, 55.3 and 52.6 -- were poor; he had 36 fumbles and 38 interceptions in his last 46 starts.
One thing is certain--Vick is (or was) an unconventional QB. He was a breakaway runner without peer, and the normal rules of quarterbacking don't apply. The vast majority of Vick's 529 career runs were scrambles on pass plays. When a conventional QB progresses through his reads, he looks at WR#1, WR#2, TE, and then dumps off to a RB. But Vick, on the other hand, doesn't bother with the dump off. He is the dump off.
Most of Vick's 52 running yards per game can really be credited as passing yards. They were yards gained on pass plays in passing situations. He averaged 7.1 yards per run. Compare that to the NFL's 5.0 average net passing yards per attempt and 4.1 rushing yards per attempt. And remember, there is never a risk of interception if he tucks the ball and runs. If you factor in his sacks into his rushing average, it becomes 5.1 net yards per run, which is still good. But if we do that, it would make his net passing yards per attempt much higher. After all, we can only count his sack yards against him once. Otherwise, it's double jeopardy.
So Vick's pass completion stats aren't padded by lots of rinky-dinky dump offs. David Carr actually led the NFL in completion percentage in 2006 with a gaudy 68.3%, only to lose his job the following off-season (to Vick's backup nonetheless).
To get an idea of how deep Vick was throwing compared to his league counterparts, we can look at yards per completion. In 2006, the most recent year Vick played, the league's other top 30 QBs averaged 11.4 yards per completion, while Vick averaged 12.1.
Vick's receiver corps in Atlanta was never known as particularly talented. If we remove receiver YAC from the equation, the numbers are even more favorable for Vick. His Air Yards, the yards a complete pass travels in the air forward of the line of scrimmage, is impressive. The top 30 other QBs in 2006 averaged 6.3 Air Yds per completion, while Vick averaged 7.7.
Yes, his interception and fumble rates are higher than you'd like, but those too should be considered in the context of the depth of his throws and the frequency with which he runs. So although Vick's passing stats, especially completion percentage, appear sub-par, that should be expected, and they are somewhat offset by greater gains for each completion. I'm not claiming he's great, or even above average, just better than his conventional stats suggest.
