His father’s name was Martínez Clarence Jackson who acted as a former second baseman with the Newark Eagles of the Negro Leagues.  In the family of the Jackson’s, Martinez was the personal name and not a last name and so his grandmother was in liking of the Spanish name and named him as Martinez Clarence. Then, Reggie’s dad named him as Reggie Martinez.

Well, here is the news today.

Agent Joel Segal confirmed the quarterback’s signing, shortly before the team announced it in a text message. The Eagles gave Vick a one-year deal with an option for a second year.

The 29-year-old Vick, once the NFL’s highest-paid player, has been out of action since 2006. The former Atlanta Falcons star was convicted in August 2007 of conspiracy and running a dogfighting ring, and served 18 of a 23-month sentence in federal prison. He also was suspended indefinitely by the NFL.

Commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally lifted Vick’s suspension on July 27, allowing him to sign with a team, practice and play in the last two preseason games. Once the season begins, Vick can participate in all team activities except games, and Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19) at the latest.

The story was originally broken Thursday evening by Dan Sileo of WDAE in Tampa. Chris Mortensen followed up a half hour later, during ESPN’s broadcast of Cardinals vs. Steelers. The news has been confirmed by Joel Segal, Vick’s agent.

Per the terms of his current NFL suspension, Vick will be able to practice with Philadelphia, but ineligible to play until the Eagles’ third preseason game. Philadelphia hosts Jacksonville on Thursday, August 27, in what would be the first game action Vick could possibly see.

Beyond that, Vick’s reinstatement is on a “conditional basis,” and his regular-season playing status will be determined by Week 6, if not before.

DCRTV is hearing more rumblings that Washington Post superstar sports columnist Tony Kornheiser will not be returning to ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser“Monday Night Football” next season. We’re told that Kornheiser wants to focus on his local morning radio show, which resumes on new talker 3WT in January, and on his ESPN “PTI” afternoon TV program. Kornheiser’s decision to give up the “MNF” color spot could cause some hurt feelings at ESPN, which removed sports media rival and former Redskin great Joe Theismann from the “MNF” broadcast booth before this season’s shows started. However, Kornheiser has publicly said that he and Theismann have a friendly relationship.

I don’t think this has anything to do with his radio show, Tony has feelings and is sick of people taking shots at him. You can’t let people get you off your game Tony!!

More from the public about Tony Kornheiser:

He’s great on PTI but sucks on MNF. Plain and simple. Too much chatter and unecessary aguing. I mute him every chance I get during the game. So many others feel the same way. He’s has to go for the sake of the MNF legacy. His presence is one small step better than the unexplainable and famous Dennis Miller experiment ie a total joke in the booth. His general knowledge of the game is just that general and shallow.

He is a waste of time, money. He knows nothing about football and he is so ugly to watch.
