ALBANY, N.Y. – Michael Vick has a place on a minor league football team if he can get reinstated by the NFL.
The Albany Firebirds, an arenafootball2 franchise, have offered the 28-year-old quarterback a one-year contract at the league standard: $200 a week plus a $50 bonus for a win.
Vick quarterbacked the Atlanta Falcons for six seasons before being convicted of bankrolling an interstate dog fighting business.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has not said if he will lift Vick's suspension after he completes a 23-month prison sentence. Vick goes from federal prison to home confinement next month.
The Firebirds' contract offer requires that Vick donate $100,000 to a local humane society.
I believe in live and let live ....... but Vick has stepped over the bounds.
NO ONE, should him become involved in ANY sport, anywhere at anytime. What he did and was involved in, is INEXCUSEABLE.
He was given the OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME .....
AND HE BLEW IT ................. BIGTIME
TO ME, THERE IS NO PLACE FOR HIM IN ANY ORGANIZED SPORT VENUE
NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT HE DID .......................
PERIOD.....................
