The Miami Dolphins have opened up their arms for Marcus Vick… kinda. They’re inviting him to their mini-camp for kind of an audition… he won’t be getting a contract, he won’t be getting a paycheck, and I think he has to bring his own footballs to throw. But he will get a chance.

These things do often lead to contract offers, so… if he steps in there and plays well, and manages not to break the law and stay off of boats with Daunte Culpepper, he could get a contract. All he’ll have to do is beat out either Brock Berlin or Cleo Lemon. You’ve gotta like his chances on that one… I think the woman who got herpes from Marcus’s brother throws a tighter spiral than Brock Berlin.

If it doesn’t work out, though… Michael Smith says the Canadian Football League is an option. How odd that just as Doug Flutie could be retiring, a talented and productive college quarterback could be forced to Canada to start his professional football career. It’s like everyone has always said about Marcus Vick… he’s the next Doug Flutie.

Truthfully, I still can’t believe that no one gave him even a free agent contract. He’s just too talented not to have gotten one.
