Michael Vick Apologizes on 60 Minutes
Michael Vick had a lot of explaining to do before he was sent to prison for his involvement in an interstate dog fighting ring that operated for five years. Now that he's outta jail, Michael Vick arguably has more explaining to do!
So he sat down with 60 Minutes and let it all out. Mr. Vick was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison and began serving his sentence in November 2007. He served 18 months. Fast forward to 2009; Michael's been signed to the Philadelphia Eagles in a one-year, $1.6 million take-it-or-leave-it-b*tch contract! He was given a second chance to redeem himself and it all begins with this apologetic/ pity party video.
My thoughts? I'm so disturbed by what Michael did. If he's sorry, he should be. He has paid his dues, though, now let the man play football since that's his gift.

Fuck Michael Vick. If he starts doing serious PR and charity work for animal rights, I'll change my opinion of him. I think he's a total douche.

Despite Michael Vick's reprehensible crimes and behavior in that incident, I am also a firm believer that people in life deserve second chances.
The media, PETA and other outspoken critics have placed a "Scarlet Letter" around Vick for quite some time, but as FC said, he has served his time (and appears to have been making some admends), so we should all allow him to proceed peacefully through life/work already.
