toddyboman Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Found this on CNN. RICHMOND, Virginia (CNN) -- Shortly after entering a guilty plea Monday to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge, suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick apologized "for all the things that I've done and that I've allowed to happen." Michael Vick speaks to reporters after Monday's guilty plea. In addition to making apologies to Atlanta Falcons teammates, his coach and the National Football League, Vick also said he was sorry "to all the young kids out there for my immature acts." "What I did was very immature so that means I need to grow up," he said. He said that he was "disappointed in myself" and that "dogfighting is a terrible thing and I ... reject it." He said, "Through this situation I've found Jesus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Maybe its true, but maybe its not. It seems like when an athlete does something wrong, he finds Jesus pretty quick. I hope he really reflect while in jail for the maxium sentence he gets, then hopefully comes out a better person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMn106 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 While watching it I got the feeling that he was sorry for what he did. He apologized to all of the kids who he let down and said he hopes that they learn from his mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okbowman Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 They alll find Jesus, after it's over, why not before it starts..Guess the money is too good to need Jesus. Fact!! He's a liar, he's already proved that! 1st time offender, he might not even get jail time, I hope they throw him in the deepest cell and lose the key!

snapper Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 He only said he was sorry because he had to! America is very forgiving as a whole...he appologizes...disappears (jail) for a year or so and waalaa...there will be folks preaching to get him back in the NFL. He's a liar and thug...nothing will change that!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 He did "ax God for forgiveness and wants to make Michael Vick a better person" what a joke. He did the only thing he could do, but is only sorry he got caught. Wonder what his GPA was at VT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I was off yesterday so I had the pleasure of watching that little apology speech live, and then about 476 more times on ESPN all through the afternoon. Very exciting. I must admit I was a little surprised at how Vick came across. No note cards, looked the whole room and the camera in the eye the whole time and he took full responsibility several times. He owned it. I know that's a small consolation for what he had done but, most athletes would not have shoved their pride down their throat like Vick did there. Is he sorry? No he isn't sorry. He's sorry he got caught, that's what he is sorry for. You can be sorry for a mistake you made once. This guy has been dogfighting and gambling all the way back to his college days. He was fully aware of what he was doing and what would happen if he ever got caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str8shooter48 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 My dog speaks too. She also sits and stays. Can't wait till they sentence him to some jail time then he'll learn to sit and stay too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I can only take him on his word, time will tell, Ive seen people come out of jail and change their lives..it is possible. I hope he is sincere, only God knows for sure. Instead of kicking him, why dont you pray for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMn106 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Instead of kicking him, why dont you pray for him? That is what I am thinking. The guy came on national TV, threw his pride and ego out the window and apologized to everyone, including the kids that thought he was a role model. He said he takes responsibility for his actions. He realizes what he did was wrong and knows he is gonna spend some time in jail. I did not see him pointing fingers at other people and blaming it on them.

He realizes what he did was wrong and knows he is gonna spend some time in jail. I did not see him pointing fingers at other people and blaming it on them. I will agree to a point. He did come on TV and seemed to speak from the heart and not some pre-rehearsed speech. He did say several things that sounded really good and sincere. BUT.. he lied from the VERY beginning of this entire ordeal. And now that his world is crashing down around him I would expect he is going to say and do anything to win back some people. BUT again he LIED to EVERYONE from the very beginning, so I have trouble believing him this time. Hopefully he is a changed man and has learned from his mistakes. Only time will tell.

muggs Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I was surprised at how genuine he came across. That being said, its damage control 100%. He needed to go on record and make the best impression he could before he faces the judge. It was standard protocol for a guy in his shoes. I think he deserves a little bit of credit for doing it, heck, he coulda went Lance Briggs and made it even worse for himself, but he didn't and I sorta commend him for the speech. It shouldn't lighten his sentence, but its commendable none-the-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
