Local ABC-13 sports anchor Bob Allen said last night he hears the Pats might take a shot at Vick. Interesting. I doubt it, I'd put my money on the Raiders
if I had to speculate on a single team which was most likely to take a chance. In some ways Vick is really quite compatible with the Raiders image.
Personally I think Vick has more than paid his dues and should be immediately released to sign and play in the league on day one of the regular season. He was imprisoned for 2 years and lost atleast millions, probably tens of millions of dollars over this. Actually I've always felt his punishment was too harsh. But clearly this current suspension is the league worrying about being hassled by PETA/national media over this thing.
We are set at QB and have more important things to focus on this season without bringing in such a controversial figure as Michael Vick, and it would never happen anyway with such a goody-2-shoes owner as Bob Mcnair.
Having said all of that, I think he could help us or any team in "Wild-cat" formations, if the price for his services was right ?
