If there is one team that really wants to get back on the field and prove that last season was a mistake, it is the New England Patriots.

The Patriots hold their first full-squad training camp practices Thursday, with rookies reporting on Sunday.

As if the Pats need more excitement around training camp, the Los Angeles Times is proposing that the Patriots may have some interest in bringing Michael Vick in as a backup to Tom Brady.

After all, the Patriots haven't been afraid to sign such controversial players as Randy Moss, who had a past history of marijuana use, knocking over a police officer with his car, and pretending to moon opposing fans, and Corey Dillon, who supposedly just had a bad attitude, in the past.

If there is one team that could take on Vick and make it work, it would be the Patriots (+400 to win the Super Bowl).
