Michael Vick Talks About Life After Dogfighting Conviction

(New York, NY) — Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick regrets his part in an illegal dogfighting ring. Appearing on CBS’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday, Vick said jail wasn’t part of his plan and lays some blame on the way he was raised. Vick, who served 18 months at the federal penitentiary in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, signed a two year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles last Thursday. He took part in his first practice with the team on Saturday. Vick is still under conditional reinstatement and can take part in all team activities for the remainder of the preseason, but cannot play until the third exhibition game. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week Six of the regular season, which is the weekend of October 18th.
