Chances of Vick Playing In NFL Again Are 100 Percent

If only the oddsmakers were as clueless as the media scribes and the talking suits. Why can’t Mike Lupica, Len Pasquarelli or one of their minions such as Oscar Dooley post the online sports betting odds on whether and when Michael Vick will play again?

After hearing all the doomsday predications about Mike Vick’s future, I was disappointed to see that BetUs Sportsbook has much more reasonable odds of even money on “Will M Vick ever throw another pass as an NFL QB?”

Joe Duffy, CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com says, “Let me make this perfectly clear. Barring an act of God, the chances of Vick playing in the NFL again are 100 percent.”

Multi-millionaires, with a dream team collection of lawyers, do not serve long jail terms. This is especially when the victims are not human beings. Leonard Little killed a person when driving drunk. He’s still in the NFL.

Ray Lewis was charged with murder—also of a human being. With high society attorneys, he was able to plead down. Now the same hacks who are writing Vick’s professional obituary tell us how Lewis is one of the great leaders in the NFL.

How long with the NFL suspend Vick? The online sportsbook betting odds of one-to-six months is tempting at +10,000 though admittedly it will likely be longer.

But let’s get back to having to bet only -120 with the juice as to No. 7 playing again. Vick will find religion, declare his repentance and most importantly assert how much he’s matured. The lifelong underachiever’s insistence that’s he’s grown up with be music to the ears of any coach or GM in need of a quarterback.

I’m still searching to see if any of the online sports betting outfits will post long odds on which team Vick will play for. Falcons’ owner Arthur Blank has a lot of his Home Depot residuals invested in Vick.

When Vick said it was head coach Dan Reeves responsible for his shortcomings, Blank fired Reeves. Then the Falcons’ signal caller threw Reeves successor Jim Mora, Jr. under the bus. Mora became unemployed.

Blank can talk the tough talk now, but he will be first in line to forgive and forget the kid he’s coddled since the day the twain met. Plus while Vick spends minimal time in the federal detention center, the Dirty Birds will lose more than enough to draft a blue chip wide receiver as the yellow ribbon ‘round Vick’s old oak tree.

Vick starts more games the rest of his career than Joey Harrington does.
