Though quarterback Mike Vicks return to the NFL remains up in the air, at least one UFL head coach is more than interested in giving him a shot. Former Giants coach Jim Fassel, wholl be coaching the Las Vegas franchise, says hed give Vick an opportunity to play. I would, simply because people make mistakes, Fassel told Boomer Esiason for his weekly MSG show. I mean, the mistake he made was horrific and everyone was taken aback by it obviously, but once he pays his debt to society, he has jail time and hes lost everything. Everybody gets a chance to re-prove themselves. If he will make that commitment he deserves another chance. I believe that wholeheartedly. This league may be very good for him. Maybe he just needs to go to a league and just start playing rather than joining a team and be a back-up and not play and develop. Well see. I dont know. No decisions have been made by our league or the NFL. No decisions have been made as to where hes going to be. I think, personally, he deserves another chance. Source: ProFootballTalk.com
I think I would buy a Vick jersey if he went to the UFL. I feel bad for the guy. Yes he did a horrible thing, but he paid his dues, and its time to move on. I hope he can have an outstanding career.
He seems to be truly sorry about what happened. Personally I think he should work outside of the NFL for a year to see if he's serious about what he's done, but every year you lose in the game is devastating to a starter.
