Favorite Quotes from Michael Vick

“The beginning of my love for football goes back to when I was seven years old. I was spending time with my grandmother, Caletha Vick. I never knew anything about the game until one Sunday afternoon when she turned on the television because the Redskins were playing. They were my Uncle Casey’s favorite team-and my grandmother’s favorite too. After watching the game with them, I was hooked.” – Michael Vick

“The first day I walked into prison, and he slammed that door, I knew the magnitude of the decision that I made, and the poor judgment, and what I allowed to happen to the animals. And, you know, its no way of explaining the hurt and the guilt that I felt. And that was the reason I cried so many nights.” – Michael Vick

“In any offense you put me in, when things break down, I’m going to get outside the pocket and move … West Coast, East Coast. It doesn’t matter. I’m taking off if I have to, to make things happen.” – Michael Vick

“It’s good to have critics because that’s what motivates you and helps you take your game to another level, They talked about Michael Jordan and said he didn’t have a jump shot. Do they say the same thing about me? I can’t throw the football and all that. Say whatever you want about me. It makes me strive harder.” – Michael Vick

“What I did, you know, being away from my family, letting so many people down. I let myself down, not being out on the football field, being in a prison bed, in a prison bunk, writing letters home, you know. That wasn’t my life.” – Michael Vick
