Even if Michael Vick doesn't step foot on an NFL football field this season it appears the former Falcons quarterback will have a place to play.

Friday the commissioner of the United Football League, which debuts in October, said the league would welcome Vick with open arms.

Vick, who will be released from home confinement on July the 20th for federal dog fighting charges, hasn't played since the 2006 season.

Closer to home Thomson's Jasper Brinkley is getting set for NFL training camp to open.

Brinkley who was the 5th round pick of the Minnesota Vikings was in town this afternoon signing autographs.

We asked him with all the Brett Favre talk to Minnesota what it would be like to play with one of the all time greats.

"You know growing up and playing the Sega games with him on it and now possibly having the opportunity to play with him. It would be a great experience." said Brinkley.

Brinkley and the Vikings, with or without Favre, will open the season on September the 13th against Cleveland.
