Michael Vick playing prison football
Posted: Sunday April 06, 2008 09:50AM ET
Michael Vick has a new job and is playing football again. The money is not quite the same and the records of the players are a bit different, too. Falcons owner Arthur Blank has been communicating by letter with Vick, who is at the United States Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., incarcerated at the facility's minimum security satellite prison camp.

Report Offensive CommentGuess the guy has to keep in football shape somehow. Hope they at least had some receivers for him to throw to this time.

Report Offensive CommentHe is a playboy. He was spotted dating a hot chick on millionaire dating site "w e a l t h yRomance.c o m" last week. I don't think he can play football well.

Report Offensive CommentAnother pointless, classless, and stupid item to print in a newspaper. And of course it comes from a New York City tabloid. I'm just socked it's not the New York Post.
