Quarterback Mike Vick, as we all know by now, has been conditionally reinstated.
But his status when the regular season begins (if he’s on a team by then) had been unclear.
He’ll be permitted to do everything but play in games, until Commissioner Roger Goodell clears Vick to do so. Previously, however, the question of whether he’d count toward the 53-man roster wasn’t known.
According to Jason La Canfora of NFL Network, the league sent a memo to all teams explaining Vick’s status once the regular season begins.
He will count toward the 53-man roster if he participates in practice. Alternatively, he won’t count against the 53-man roster if his team holds him out of practice, but otherwise permits him to attend meetings and engage in other activities.
Before any of that is relevant, however, Vick needs to find a team. For now, it’s not clear when or if he will.

But when you think about it the involvement of Dungy almost makes it a guarantee the league wants him back on a team.
“For now, it’s now clear when or if he will.”
Really? That’s just a strange sentence; but if it’s “now clear” can you fill us in on where he will be playing?
NFL’s handling of the Vick situation is in my opinion brilliant. By making the reinstatement terms vague and borderline confusing, the ruling of the public court had time to materialize and surprisingly the consensus sentiment is to give Vick another chance. In no way shape or form am I accusing the NFL of conspiracy or collusion on this, but I am sure they strongly recommended that all franchises use “discretion”.

i was thinking he mopped spooge at sonic drive-ins
haha. RPToro is on the right track. I was inspired by the prank calls of Roy D. Mercer. I figured his fictional son in the prank calls would mop up various secretions after working at Sonic to make ends meet.
