Also, Vick can't play in the league until the Falcons release him. They still have his contractual rights. I do like the concept that they have in that players in the UFL can sign NFL contracts on December 1st if they so desire. Injuries happen all of the time during the season.

They plan on expanding next year. Los Angeles and Hartford are likely.

Yeah I know about Vick but if no NFL team touches him (which still might happen talent rules the nfl) then they will cut him and that's most likely where he will go.

He would probably do well in the UFL. It could be where he serves put his NFL suspension.

[RAMORE]

Do you really think they will suspend him he's done his time IMO.

[BlackLantern]

The commish has to decide if he can play in the NFL.....if I had my way....lifetime ban....playing in the NFL is a privelige, not a right

[RAMORE]

People kill people and are still playing you can't be serious. Vicks agent hopes to have him in the NFL by August or September

[StorminNorman]

Exactly. If the Commish prevents Vick from playing football for this, he and his entire League should be outed for hypocrisy. If Leonard Little can play football, Michael Vick should.

a lot of these issues people keep bringing up happened before Goodell became Commissioner.....playing in the NFL is a privelige.....they can choose to have you work for them or not....

And what I am saying is that if Goodell rules Vick ineligible, then the league rules should be altered so that ANY player engaged in a felony is out of the league. I don't think you can place dog killing as more hideous than DUI, manslaughter or rape. It's all or nothing.

I'd agree....but do you grandfather that and just kick everyone out or do you go from Vick forward?....you can't have both

[StorminNorman]

I think you would have to make such a stance at the start of your tenure. I don't think you can choose to start with Vick because he is the most recognizable.

[BlackLantern]

didn't he start with Pacman Jones?? lol

[StorminNorman]

Pac Man played last year, did he not?

[BlackLantern]

on a very tight leash, and still managed to get suspended....again....is anyone going to bother signing him this off season?

[StorminNorman]

No. I think Vick should be given similar treatment. If Vick should be on probation for his entire career. One more off the field slip up and he gone. I think the NFL should give him a second chance...or at least let allow for a team to give him one.

I'd agree....he should have a very small margin for error....I think the NFL is waiting for all the legal issues to be resolved before making any kind of statement or decision

[StorminNorman]

So I went to a Semi Pro Football work out today...

The Emerald Coast Blazin Buffaloes!

[RAMORE]

To try out or just watch?

[StorminNorman]

To work out.

[RAMORE]

Cool. What did you play in High school?

Sounds good.

They attended a Freeagent combine recently too. You should try out for the Orlando team Norman on their website they are taking inquiries.

I really don't see it lasting.....Not because of the NFL, which is increasingly getting soft, but college football is just way too popular.....They'd have to allow fighting (like hockey) IMO to gain even a decent share of an already saturated market.....But if they did they probably would lose endorsements and the TV deal......

[RAMORE]

Jim Haslett the coach for the Orlando team was on the radio this morning saying Vick should come here because he felt like Orlando and the UFL would help him reestablish himself and not judge...I agree

[StorminNorman]

I would buy Season Tickets to a Haslett coached, Vick lead Orlando team.
