Michael Vick’s Hand-Written Letter To Judge From Prison Released As Well As George Foreman’s and Hank Aaaron’s On Vick’s Behalf
In all earnestness — and I use that word instead of ‘honesty’ because of Ernest — this letter completely sold me. Maybe it’s because I don’t get the chance to read over many prison judge forgiveness notes, but Vick sounded sincere and genuinely ashamed of what he did. Which any Eagles fan with working eyes and ears can tell you has pretty much been the case with Vick since his release. Is the guy a Saint? Of course not — he’s got neck tats and a Superman emblem on the back of his hand. But by all accounts he is a decent man who had his life reformed because of an unfortunate series of events. It’s a worthwhile read to better understand who the real Michael Vick is, you know, besides a dude who fumbles a lot and will be playing for the Cardinals next year.
Yet the very best part of any of these has to be George Foreman’s opening paragraph:
“Dear Judge Hudson:
I’m a fulltime minister at the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in Houston, Texas, former two-time Heavyweight Champion of the world, and known all over the world as the king of the grills because of the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine.”
Motherfuckin George Foreman. Peep his stats:
Words used to describe ministry: 12
Words used to describe boxing: 8
Words used to describe grill: 22
Sons named George: 5.

unfortunate series of events? Are you kidding? This is a guy who bodyslammed, hung, shot, drowned and electrocuted innocent animals his entire life. Fuck this guy and everybody who defends him
Mike vick is a scumbag…i take personal satisfaction in his demise that has become the eagles season.
well this blog made NO sense. nice one Clarice..
I believe him yo, I don’t know why, but I do …
dogfighting has been a way of life in the south for hundreds of years, not saying i support it, but these dogs are raised to fight and raised to die. its not much different than a slaughterhouse
Anyone who thinks Mike Vick actually thought of those words himself and was sincere about all of that needs a brain check up. Lawyers get paid good money to get their clients off the hook.
@wilburham its actually the opposite of a slaughterhouse. dog fighting is strictly for pleasure. a slaughterhouse is for, you know, people to eat
i understand whatthehell how about dog racing which was legal in MAss until a few years ago, a ton of those dogs get killed as well
that’s actually a hilarious type in foreman’s letter to say vick has “genuine remorse over his misdeeds of the pass”.
@mctrippy That’s no typo, the Grill King knows his football.
didn’t you post this yesterday?
I can picture sweat pouring off of Vick while he struggled to write this letter. I can’t believe that his head didn’t explode halfway through. Thas allota writtin.
People need to realize that dog fighting is a culture in many poor areas. That doesn’t make it okay to participate in. But, many people don’t realized that for some kids growing up seeing dog fighting is as common as walking down the street and seeing a pick up game being played. When you grow up around that you become desensitized to it. Once again that’s not an excuse or pardon but you need to look at the situation from a different perspective than your own. It’s just like how kids growing up in war zones become used to seeing dead bodies littering the street. Some of those kids become so used to it that they have no qualms about playing around the blood and guts. Then when they grow up they have no problem cutting off a stranger’s head in front of a camera or planting bombs in their neighborhood because they are desensitized to the carnage and its affects. Also, fuck everyone who thinks that they know what Vick is truly feeling. You don’t know him or what jail did to him. Is it impossible for him to truly be remorseful for what he did? No.
Maurice, you are better than this, you dumb fuck. Mike Vick is a complete scumbag and deserved worse than what he got. “by all accounts he is a decent man who had his life reformed because of an unfortunate series of events” – this comment proves you people really do love PCP.
