Embattled NFL quarterback Michael Vick made an appearance today on the Atlanta-based Porshe Foxx radio program. Calling into the program, Vick gave his first interview since charges were filed against him July 17.
During the brief spot Vick thanked his fans and all those who continue to support him, and expressed regret over the negative impact the dogfighting scandal is having on the Atlanta Falcons franchise.

You mean the very same fans he flipped off last year?
Guess he's decided that he needs those fans after all....
He did not say, “sick em, Fido?” did he?
Vick just didn’t want to bite the hand that fed him.
"Vick embarks on effort to sway potential jury pool"
I assume the trial is in Virgina, not Atlanta?
low character is as low character does... Atlanta hired this schmuck knowing his issues, paid him a fortune and promited him like crazy, not it all crashes and burns because he’s nothing more than a 2 bit punk.... Atlanta management made this mess, now they can enjoy lying in it.
You don’t hire people of low character, PERIOD.
When will pro sports learn what everyone else knows?
Some of pro sports gets it. The team with one of the classiest head coaches and one of the classiest players just won the Super Bowl.
The Spurs won the NBA title with the classy, understated Tim Duncan.
A local radio guy suggested he could make millions for the humane society by selling a Michael Vick chew toy.
The NAACP wants people to give Vick the same benefit of the doubt as THEY gave the DUKE boys? What racists that group is.
What you’re saying is the Falcons shouldn’t have hired Vick?
“You don’t hire people of low character, PERIOD.”
Would the NBA or the NFL have enough players to field more that 1 or 2 teams if they followed that rule?
Were there dogs barking in the background?
Check it out dog.
Yep... this hole train wreck was obvious before they ever gave him an offer... they chose to look away... so enjoy the mess.
Falcons had any credibility and integrity they would have never hired this schmuck... but they don’t so, they did... now their entire organization will be in disarray for years... and they probably won’t learn the lesson.
He’s a hero from his playing days at VT..
That’a great idea! I’d buy one for my dog.
