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.

Oh boy...The Longest Yard made into real life. Wonder if the Warden will order them to....ah...nevermind.

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

Is Arthur Blank financing this league? hmmm.

I bet the level-of-competition in there is pretty good. Everyone knows guys in prison get jacked.

The Longest Yard comes to life. Unreal. And SteelersinMD, wonder how many Tight Ends there are?

He 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.

Another 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.

Maybe he will have a career ending injury.......or just get shanked.

April 6, 2008  10:26 AM ET

I wanna see this on ESPN

April 6, 2008  10:34 AM ET

Can FanNation do anything about this 'spam' pop-up junk?
It's beyond annoying.

Mean machine, mean machine!

April 6, 2008  11:06 AM ET

When I look at Vick, I smell reefer.

April 6, 2008  11:13 AM ET

this is the real edition of the longest yard and the grion gang

April 6, 2008  11:27 AM ET

The Longest Yard! Someone get Nitschke on the phone!

April 6, 2008  11:35 AM ET

April 6, 2008  11:54 AM ET
