The Daily Numbers - August 14
The Daily Numbers: 2 years in prison spent by Michael Vick in connection to a dog-fighting ring. Today he’s a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.
1.5 million dollars, how much the Birds will pay Vick this year, with an option for next year at a cool $5 milllion.
10 million dollars up front, what the state would collect from each of their new slots parlors in licensing fees if they added table games to the mix.
386 million dollars in grants for 172,000 college students across the Commonwealth that are tied up in the state budget impasse.
12.8 billion dollars in the state budget that has been freed up, mostly to pay state workers.
13 point lead for Sen. Arlen Specter over Rep. Joe Sestak, in the latest polling released by the Rasmussen Group.
48 to 36 percent lead for Republican Pat Toomey over Specter in a race for the Senate. That one is a turnaround from what once was a comfortable lead for Specter.
50, age of man arrested in Glassboro, N.J., charged with selling illegal firearms to undercover troopers.
3 bank holdups in Philadelphia all believed to be the work of the same man.
5 men, all in their mid-20s, charged in a series of home break-ins that has targeted homes along the Route 62 corridor in Mongtomery County.
1 year after the massive fire that raced through the Riverwalk apartment complex in Conshohocken.
792 houses worth $461 million sold in the last three months by regional home builder Toll Brothers.
21, age of Chicago fan who turned himself in to face charges that he tossed a beer in the face of Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino.
8 strong innings for Phils’ starter Cliff Lee as he won his 3rd straight game since joining the team.
2 years, how long it’s been since Michael Vick actually played in an NFL game.

I Don’t Get It: I still say everyone includes a second chance. That includes Michael Vick. I don’t get those who believe the guy should be banished forever.

Today’s Upper: Hey, at least we’re not talking about David Akers missing a potential game-winning field goal.
