A team has to sell itself, after all, in many different ways. It's a business, as we all know, & it relies on marketing its products. But if the majority of the football public is still vehemently anti-Michael Vick, what league would sign him? What would be the purpose if there were no revenue in it?

There always seems to be some team that is low enough on cash and fans that they are willing to go for a gimmick/"any press is good press" type of situation.
Although he was dumb enough to put that huge contract at risk, i bet he is smart enough to come out of his sentence a "changed man full of apologies and a new understanding into the pain he has called".
Whether this attitude change is for real or just for the hopes of getting back in the game will be subject of much debate i am sure. I really hope he
can change his view of dog fighting and what constitutes animal cruelty.
If he can get his foot in the door again with some team it will be a Public Relations Miracle for him but , in this day of paris hilton, nicole richie and
insertyourfavoritenotalentcelebrityhere I think P.R. miracles are easier to come by these days. Sadly
