RICHMOND, Va. (AP)
— Michael Vick might soon
discover just who's inter-
ested in giving him a second
chance.
Two people familiar with
the meeting confirmed the
NFL commissioner, Vick,
agent Joel Segal and two
other members of the sus-
pended quarterback’s team
met Wednesday at a secu-
rity firm in New Jersey. The
two people requested ano-
nymity because the league
has not acknowledged the
meeting.
NFL spokesman Greg
Aiello declined to confirm
the meeting when contacted
by The Associated Press on
Thursday and insisted no
decisions on Vick's future
have been made.
“This is a serious matter,"
Aiello said in an e-mail. “We
arc engaging in a careful
and thoughtful process.”
Roger Goodell told the AP
on Tuesday, a day after Vick
was released from federal
custody, that he hoped to
make a decision “in the near
future.”
Goodell suspended Vick
indefinitely in August 2007
after the former Atlanta
Falcons quarterback admit-
ted bankrolling the “Bad
New/ Kennels" dogfighting
operation.

The Associated Press
FOOTBALL
PITTSBURGH - Pitts-
burgh Steelers quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger vowed
to fight a Lake Tahoe casino
hostess' rape allegations
against him, calling them
“false and vicious."
Roethlisberger was
served with a civil law-
suit last weekend when he
returned to Lake Tahoe,
where a 31-year-old Nevada
woman alleges the quarter-
back raped her in a hotel
penthouse in July 2008.
Roethlisberger was in Ne-
vada on both occasions to
compete in a celebrity golf
event.
The woman did not file a
criminal complaint.
Roethlisberger, who is
not married, said he would
fight what he called “outra-
geous allegations," but said
he would not discuss his
private life or the lawsuit in
the media.

CHICAGO - Jim Parque,
a former pitcher for the
White Sox and Tampa Bay,
says he used human growth
hormone “about six times"
after he was cut by Chicago
in 2002 and before he tried
a comeback with the Rays
the following season.
Parque made his confes-
sion in a lengthy, first-per-
son account in the Chicago
Sun-Times. He says he tried
I Kill in a bid to recover
from a shoulder injury that
he blames for derailing his
career.
Parque made five starts
for Tampa Bay in 2003,
compiling an 11.94 ERA.
He never pitched again in
the majors. In 2007, he was
named as a drug user in the
Mitchell Report.
