1. More airport trouble: Though we "reported" in Tuesday's 10 Spot that Michael Vick would address Congress that day to lobby for more funding for after-school programs, Vick was actually a no-show. The Falcons quarterback was traveling to D.C. from Tampa, where he had played in teammate Warrick Dunn's charity golf tournament. Vick was scheduled to change planes in Atlanta, but his AirTran flight from Tampa was delayed and he missed his connection. The Tampa-Atlanta flight must have been really late, moreover, since we all know that Vick can run; he probably would have made O.J. look like a sluggard as he busted through the terminal to catch his flight. But here's a valid question raised by reader Chris Adams of Charlotte: Can't Vick spring for a direct flight from Tampa to D.C.? Didn' t he sign a 10-year contract extension a while back worth an estimated $130 million? AirTran is an airline for, well, poor people like me.
