This is a really amazing story. Most people (like the Peta lady) do not understand that people CAN change. I used to think a lot of things due to the types of people I spent most of my time with. I spent a lot of time really sad. Now that they’re out of my life, I’ve come to realize things for how they really are and how they should be. For Vick, it took him getting in trouble to change and that’s okay. Peta lady needs to be happy that a person with a big voice is advocating for animal rights

I'm so tired of hearing people wanting to say that he only did what he did because of the money he was making... Like seriously wtf??? The guy made a huge mistake in life and made it a mission to correct it and to this day is still doing those things to right that wrong... For the Peta lady and whoever else is still ragging on him for that one blemish on his career... I want them to take a long look at high profile people who've also done wrong and people just looked over or didn't hold it over their heads because there are multiple people that could be named that have done wrong. Anyone who can sit and say that "Oh I've never done anything wrong" that's an absolute lie... Plenty of athletes, actors/actresses, singers, and even politicians have made mistakes in their lives or during their career.

[@xoIMTIMEox]

@@zs2977 I don't think campaigning against dogfighting and taking an active role for animal rights even after his football career is the bare minimum.. Not partaking in animal abuse is the bare minimum. He is going above and beyond what 99% of people are doing for animal rights advocacy.

I was in Atlanta when Vick was the Falcons quarter back, there had never been an athlete (with the exception of Hank Aaron and to a lesser extent Dominique Wilkins) that had such a powerful impact on the city, it's residents and it's culture. He represented so much more than the game, he represented every day Atlantans. Then prison. When the Eagles came to Atlanta to play Atlanta and Vick was an Eagle, the stadium was filled with 7 shirts. I do respect the man he has become and how he humbled himself and became a better man after prison and is inspiring others and youth to be better.

I always enjoy NFL Films' "A Football Life" series. This one about Michael Vick has got to be in my personal Top Five of all the films in their series. Vick EARNED his second chance and yet over a decade later some individuals are still hanging it over his head even though he has paid his penance. Resurrecting his career in Philly was definitely no doubt his best years in football. I admire his resiliency. I read his auto-biography years ago. It was actually written by Coach Tony Dungy. If anyone wants to know more of the details during his this time of his life and during his early playing years with both the Falcons and Philly, I suggest reading Vick's book "Finally Free". Definitely worth the read.

I've seen the good and bad of the world. Parent murderers and innocent children. One thing that stays the same is if they do it once they might do it again even if they are caught. Vick changed his life around for the better. Let me put it like this. If Vick wasn't famous he would have had no attention to this widespread crime. You only know about it probably because of Vick. You have probably never been to the places its prevalent at. The Slums, Dirty Downtown, The Boonies, and Hidden Areas. I am not going to respond after this.

Mike Vick was the swaggiest dude in NFL history. The speed, the rocket arm, the way he flicks it so effortlessly, (he threw lefty but did literally everything else with his right) the look (the beard and braids was on POINT) he just had it all. It’s such a shame he spent his prime in prison. I honestly think if he stays on track he ends up continuing to develop as a passer, finishes with 10,000 yards rushing and as a 58 to 64 lifetime completion percentage passer with a few rings. He’s a first ballot HOF talent. It’s a shame he made those choices. Big props to him for turning it around. Hopefully he budgeted his Philly money well and is doing ok now. He had to get rid of all those hanger-ons.

So Vick never watched films during his days in Atlanta. That probably explains why Vick's passing numbers never got any better after his second season. Had he put in the time and actually prepared like a mature elite quarterback, Vick would have been an all-time great. He had a cannon of an arm and all the physical tools to become one. And that one season in Philly, we saw a glimpse of that.
