07:36 AM ET 03.10 | Last year, UFL Commissioner Michael Huyghue was candid regarding his league's desire to offer an opportunity to Falcons quarterback Mike Vick, who might very well be suspended for a year (or more) after being released from federal custody in July. Last month, Huyghue backed off considerably, suggesting that the UFL would bow to the will of the fans. Are there any? Apparently, there are -- and Huyghue apparently has consulted with them. And they apparently want Vick. According to Howard Balzer of the Sports Xchange, the UFL is believed to be plotting a run at Vick. The only potential impediment would come from a decision by the Falcons, if they don't release him, to invoke the language in his contract preventing him from playing in any other league while on suspension. But assuming the Falcons don't cut Vick, perhaps they'd be able to conjure a trade market for 2010 by letting Vick run circles around the slappies that will be populating the UFL.
