Vick blamed himself for the humbling experience

In an interview with “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday night, Michael Vick said that he cried in prison because he felt guilty about involved in dogfighting and blamed only himself for losing the time and money.


The three-time Pro Bowler who spent six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring and lost the $135 million contract that made him the NFL’s highest paid player. He was reinstated conditionally last month by the NFL and signed with the Philadelphia Eagles last week.

“I was disgusted, you know, because of what I let happen to those animals,” he said. “I could’ve put a stop to it. I could’ve walked away from it. I could’ve shut the whole operation down.”
