The lifelong<br \/>\nunderachiever\u2019s insistence that\u2019s he\u2019s grown up with be music to the ears of<br \/>\nany coach or GM in need of a quarterback. <\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText>I\u2019m still searching to see if any of the online sports<br \/>\nbetting outfits will post long odds on which team Vick will play for.
