Falcons entitled

to collect Vick bonus

The Atlanta Falcons are entitled to recover nearly $20 million in bonus money paid to disgraced quarterback Michael Vick, an arbitrator ruled Tuesday. The players' union vowed to appeal.

Stephen B. Burbank, the University of Pennsylvania law professor and special master who led last week's arbitration hearing, sided with the team after hearing from Falcons president and general manager Rich McKay and attorneys from the NFLPlayers Association, which represented Vick.

The Falcons argued that Vick, who pleaded guilty to federal charges for his role in a long-running dogfighting operation, knew he was in violation of the contract when he signed a $130 million deal in December 2004.

The team said he used proceeds from the contract to fund his illicit activities and sought the repayment of $19,970,000 in bonuses he was paid out of a total of $22.5 million in 2005 and '06.

Limestone's Thomas named player of week

Limestone College's Melissa Thomas has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas women's volleyball player of the week.

The junior outside hitter from Easley led the Lady Saints to three straight set conference wins last week, reaching a career high 24 kills in the victory over Belmont Abbey.

For the week, Thomas averaged 6.75 kills with a .485 hitting percentage with 7.19 points, 2.25 digs and .62 blocks.
