Yeah, but he's no Paul Crewe

Michael Vick apparently is keeping his quarterback skills sharp — by playing pickup games at the federal penitentiary Leavenworth, Kan., where he is serving a 23-month sentence after pleading guilty in dogfighting charges, the New York Daily News said.

In an interview with the newspaper, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank said Vick has told him in letters that he is washing pots and pans for 12 cents an hour.

"He is staying in shape,” Blank told The News. "Apparently, there was a prison football team and he played quarterback for both sides.”
