Gossip site TMZ has video of ex-NFL QB star Michael Vick hanging out right here in Chicago (well, at O'Hare Airport) and that, of course, got tongues wagging about what it meant for the Bears. Reports have said Vick is close to signing with an NFL team, but a Bears spokesman told TMZ it isn't with Chicago. In fact, TMZ has confirmed this.

A rep for the Humane Society tells us Vick just spoke at an anti-dog fighting event in the Englewood section of the city -- which will help raise awareness about his efforts to clean up his own image.

So no need for Bears fan to break into for Vick/against Vick battle of words.
