NEW YORK (AP) - When the United Football League debuts in
October, Michael Vick could be one of its players.
Michael Huyghue, the commissioner of the new four-team league,
says the UFL is willing to give Vick a place to play - provided
there are no pending legal issues. His rights belong to the Orlando
franchise.
Vick already has served an 18-month sentence in federal prison
for his involvement in a dogfighting ring. He is under home
confinement until July 20, after which the NFL is expected to
announce whether the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback will be
suspended.
Vick, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 draft, has not played
football since the 2006 season.
