This might answer your question.

CFHS | Michael Vick would walk in Canada

Edit: I am thinking along the lines that a Felony in the United States might not constitute a Felony in Canada.

Michael Vick's post-prison job prospects look pretty good - Shutdown Corner... - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

I'm pretty sure it was a representative of the league claiming 98 percent probability. Still, if the NFL doesn't reinstate him immediately it would be easy to see this happening.

The UFL is targeting major U.S. markets currently underserved in professional football: Austin, Birmingham, Columbus, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Louisville, Memphis, New York, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Raleigh, Sacramento and San Antonio. In addition, the UFL is looking at international cities Mexico City and London.

Funny how NY is listed as "underserved". Well, they are...NJ has their teams.

Mexico City and London? MC is not too ridiculous, but teams who have to go from L.A. to London for their next game won't be too thrilled. Also, the London team is going to have permanent jetlag without some creative scheduling.

Wouldn't it be great if Vick joined this new league and the team that drafted him was called the "Bulldogs"? The PETA picketers would be in their glory...

What happened to the league that was suppose to play in the spring and have the college football atmosphere. The teams were suppose to play in college stadiums. I believe Florida, Tennessee, Purdue and not sure what other fields or cities they wanted to play at.

McCants was supposed to play for Team Tennessee

I wish him well. Everyone deserves a second chance.......even convicted felons who mistreat dogs. Geesh... look at Martha Stewart. Noone is banning her from television. He should be given the same chance to earn a decent living.

No he doesn't. He proved he can't handle the fame and fortune a few times.


Martha Stewart didn't kill living creatures and get tied up with drugs, she just did something stupid with stocks. There's no comparison.
