Michael Vick -- 'I Made Bad Decisions'

The Michael Vick "Please Don't Pelt Me with Objects" tour began today as Vick addressed the press for the first time as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Vick said all the right things -- like "I won't disappoint," "Playing in the NFL is a privilege, not a right," and "You only get one shot at a second chance" -- but he's still got a long way to go to win over the fans of Philly.

Remember, these are the same people that booed Santa Claus.

5. He needs to accept he will never be thought of the same in the eyes of his previous fans. Another "has been" that needs to move along.

7. Not so Fast Mr. Vick...you're right...it isn't a right but you havent earned the privelage either...go scrape some bear dung at a zoo for a year and then give the NFL a call...until then...you havent paid any dbt to society. Your plush house arrest does not make up your past wrongs!!!

8. Second chance? Are you kidding me. They found the carcasses of 17 tortured dogs on HIS property. Sounds like he got 17 chances !!! An eye for an eye is what I would like to see. Vick, may I rape you, electrocute you, throw you down so hard it kills you, drown you ??? Of course not... I would be locked up forever. You serve a little bit of time, and then you think it is ok, it is NOT... boycott all sponsers !!!

9. That Santa Claus booing thing was a long time ago. Philly fans have changed. If Vick does his job well, then they'll be wearing his jersey, too.

12. i can tell you as a philadelphian, we are not happy. I want to know what chase utley has to say since i believe he and his wife rescues a Vick dog- you guys should try to get some kind of comment from them! Anyhow, i bet you anything if we win the superbowl... no one will mind anymore. I, however, am going to make a Vick #0 jersey for my Pit Bull Mix George.

13. No way should he be back in football. He needs to do more community service before he even comes close to looking like he 'knows' he made some wrong choices. And the NFL sees only dollar signs, not the pain of dogs.

14. you enjoy perpetuating & watching dogs getting gang raped...you are sick and no matter that you did the time you deserved, I cannot and will not ever accept you as anything else but sick minded and worthless.

The only reason Philly picked him up is for the publicity!
