Vick 60 Minutes Football

Michael Vick says he cried in prison because of the guilt he felt about being involved in dogfighting.

In an interview with “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday night, Vick said the day he walked into prison he realized “the magnitude of the decisions that I made.

“And, you know, it’s no way of, you know, explaining, you know, the hurt and the guilt that I felt. And that was the reason I cried so many nights. And that put it all into perspective,” he said.

A three-time Pro Bowl pick during six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, Vick served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring and was reinstated last month by the NFL after being out of action since 2006.

    Amen If God forgive you that is all that matters and I have said this in a previous post. There are Cops and other atheletes that have killed people and are still working and are supported by fans and society. Why continue to persecute him? He was wrong,dead wrong and he paid his debt to society and lost all of his money in the process. People need to think about things that they have done and I know they may say “I never killed a dog” but sin is sin no sin is bigger or smaller than the other; and we look to be forgiven and given a second chance. What if we never get second chances for the wrong that we done? Would that be fair? Some people never liked Vick and they are using this as a way to lash out.Let the man live his life and let God do the rest. Judge him and you will be Judged to because talking bad about people is a sin.This is coming from a person who believes in forgivness not a football fan because I do not watch sports.

    I have heard of football players killing people in car accidents due to drunk driving and they aren’t even serving time..but Michael killed a dog and they took away his freedom and everything he ever owned…that’s American Justice.

    The problem with M. Vicks apologies are that they are not sincere. He’ll say anything to play football again. He could care less what happen to those dogs. I don’t believe him.

    He paid his debt and should be allowed to do what ever, but the truth is this.

    He’s another spoiled athlete, who found one instance where his fame, athletic ability and money couldn’t get him out of it.

    He’s talented garbage!
