In Prison, Vick Dreamed of Playing for Chiefs
saw this on arrowhead pride...interesting
This story isn't quite what you think it is. While in Leavenworth Federal Prison, Michael Vick watched NFL games whenever he could. Because Leavenworth, KS is less than an our from Kansas City, the games on TV were always the Kansas City Chiefs. Vick recently said that when he thought of playing football again, it was in red. "When I imagined myself playing again, it was always for the Chiefs," Vick told Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer. I don't think the Chiefs would be interested in signing Vick. Hey, they've proven me wrong before but it doesn't exactly seem like a match made in heaven. Next week, the Eagles will visit the Chiefs in their third preseason games 15 months since Vick left Leavenworth Federal Prison. "There will definitely be a moment of reflection," Vick said. "I think I'll be thinking about how I always hoped I would get that second chance and prayed every time that I was watching those games that I would be allowed to play again."

No, I'm not.
The guy still can't read a defense, is still inaccurate, and has lost a step or two. The only thing he has that Cassel doesn't is arm strength, which means he rockets those interceptions. Their level of suckage is roughly the same.

But when you compare the two you have to say Vick brings an added element to the game . In 2006 he rushed for over 1000 yards . In 2009 Cassel was sacked for over 1000 yards. Vick could hit Chambers in stride while Cassel could only his Niswanger in the back of the helment. I don't want Vick but I want something better than Cassel like everyone else.

Did you see Gino Atkins chase him down last night? He no longer brings that element. I want better than Cassel, but Vick ain't it.

I really think it would be humorous if there were "Welcome back, Mike!" -type signs at the game.
That would be clever. |

Didn't watch the game last night. I just figured he'd still be better than Cassel because well............ he has dreadlocks ,was in prison, and likes to kill animals.

He probably dreamed of playing center...

Second, My guess is that TV, exercise equipment, books, games and presumably internet are all part of a strategy that cuts overall security costs by creating incentives that encourage good behavior, reduce violence and tension, keep them them occupied, etc. |
