Will Michael Vick return to the NFL? E-mail
Written by Sports Know It Alls Staff   

Michael Vick might soon get another chance to play in the NFL.

Sources say that the NFL commissioner, Vick, his agent Joel Segal, and two other suspended members of Vick’s team had a meeting last Wednesday at a security firm in New Jersey. The two people requested anonymity because the league has not acknowledged the meeting.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello did not confirm the meeting when he was contacted by The Associated Press last Thursday. Aiello insisted that there has been no confirmed decision about the future of Vick’s career.

“This is a serious matter,” Aiello wrote in an e-mail. “We are engaging in a careful and thoughtful process.”

In an interview last Tuesday, Roger Goodell said that he hopes to reach a decision about Vick’s case in the near future.

Goodell suspended Vick indefinitely in August 2007 after the quarterback admitted funding an underground dog fighting operation. Goodell says that Vick should show remorse and change before he is to reinstated, if ever.

Bloggers reported that Vick was recently seen touring a strip club in Virginia beach. Vick’s attorney, Lawrence Woodward, released a statement to clear Vick’s name.

“It is absolutely, categorically false,” Woodward told the Associated Press. “He has been spending time with his family and friends and working with his advisers on legal matters and trying to get back to playing football.”

Vick also denied the rumors. He said: “That's crazy. That is the last place on my mind. I was out of town. I guess it's just someone trying to be hurtful.”
