NAPA, Calif., Dec 06, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Purple Cowboy is a new wine that will help raise money for breast cancer and launches at the 50th Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas this month. Purple and pink may be an unlikely color combination, but in terms of the professional rodeo community's commitment to end breast cancer, it's a perfect match. This year, Las Vegas will host the ultimate championship of professional rodeo -- the Wrangler National Finals -- and Purple Cowboy will be there to celebrate. Purple Cowboy wines were created by entrepreneur and breast cancer survivor Terry Wheatley in honor of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo's 50th Birthday. It just so happens that Wheatley is also is the founder of Tough Enough to Wear Pink -- an awareness campaign that has been embraced by the western community since 2004. |

 There is no way to write an article about Michael Vick and please readers. Those who will never forgive him don't want him to have a life outside of prison or in the world of professional sports. His fans who never wanted to see him incarcerated don't take kindly to the suggestion that he might never return to the NFL.
In light of this situation, I offer two separate pieces of news that came to my attention:
Vick's bankruptcy lawyer is trying to convince a judge and a multitude of creditors that he can earn enough after he is out of jail to repay a portion of his debts to each of those that have been left holding the bag. Thus a document filed by his lawyer makes it seem that it is inevitable his client will be reinstated by the NFL.
The second piece of news is that many of the dogs that were rescued from Vick's home in Virginia are alive and still healing from their experiences. That is according to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, in Utah. Those dogs have become a symbol to animal rights groups who are using images of the animals to raise money. Caravinis Winery has created a brand of wine called "Vicktory" and the rescued pooches are the face, literally, of the wine collection. |
