ATLANTA -- Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, invited back by the organization to recognize Sunday's final regular season game at the Georgia Dome, discussed his message to unforgiving fans after federal dogfighting charges tarnished his image.
The 36-year-old Vick, currently a free agent, served 23 months in prison for running a dogfighting operation.
Last week, a petition on Change.org was started to not include Vick in the season finale because of his past history with dogfighting. Through Sunday afternoon, the petition had nearly 29,000 supporters.
