    I find it interesting that they involved PETA in this story when PETA itself has been found guilty of killing a multitude of animals over the years and continues to do so. Everyone deserves a second chance, everyone. Whether or not they do something positive with it is up to them, I think we can all see that Vick did that. I for one am glad to see that he was able to change his ways, humble himself and realize that it's not always about himself.

    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 am not used to going to court so I was very surprised with the judges words and actions towards me. I asked for just one minute to put myself out there, he saw what I am doing about it now and actually said "I am your biggest cheerleader, keeping doing what you are doing" while showing considerable leniency.

      When I was a prosecutor a few years back there was a kid that was in that position and the judge was lenient with him and to be honest I didn’t think this kid would make the best of his second chance but he absolutely did.

      @Micah Burke you misinformed fuq. He didn't torture any dogs himself. He facilitated the whole thing.

    One of the most electric football players to ever grace us on the football field. The fact that redemption is part of his story and not only his but to see his father at the end amazing

    It was a pleasure to watch Mike Vick play in Philly. He is my top QB Randall, McNabb and now Jalen... Only one that can judge is God and I believe he is forgiven.

    Haha I remember that Michael Vick Experience commercial like it was yesterday. I thought it was one of the coolest commercials I've ever seen as a kid.

      I remember playing season mode with the Falcons and averaging like 200 yards rushing a game between Vick and Warrick Dunn.

    Love 2nd chance stories. They become some of the best success stories...most people have done something illegal. They just never been caught. He got caught ...served his time and became a better person than most...I love it.

    Ive always been a Falcons fan but have never been a fan of the speedy run QBs like Vick. He came close to changing my mind about QBs like him but in the end I like a more traditional QB. I have to admit he was so exciting to watch, you stayed on the edge of your seat because you knew he would do something amazing soon. It was good that the Eagles gave him a second chance and even better that he used that chance wisely.

    I am an atlanta falcon fan who had not forgave Mike for the pain he caused Atlanta.
    Today after watching his story, I want to say I forgive you Mike and actually will purchase another #7 atlanta jersey.
    Mike thank you for being a true role model for you to have come full circle, your legacy is greater than any Lombardi trophy you could have held. You have become the man you always wanted to be.
    Much respect my brother! God has blessed you and you came thru with what he wanted from you. This was what was in his master plan and you succeeded. You are a greater man because of it. Thank you for your sacrifice. You made this world better.
