Michael Vick hasn't taken a snap since 2015, when he started three games for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"This is why shows like 'American Idol' and 'American Ninja Warriors' have been popular. We think the game and how we've set it up will give us this."   And if this flag football thing doesn't work out for Vick, .
