Yep, you read this right. According to AdAge.com Atlanta Falcons former quarterback Michael Vick is reportedly "in talks" to be a spokesperson for PETA. He's ready to do a series of ads for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals when he's released from jail later in May. Vick wants to clean-up his image as a dog-killer and reenter society with the problems stemming from his dog fighting business a thing of the past.
You know, as silly as it reads and sounds, Vick may just be able to do it. It depends on the commercial and how it's done. If it comes off as Vick just proclaiming his love for dogs, I'm not so sure. (See my video) But if it's done as more of a documentary style, then yes. That would work.
Everyone deserves a second chance, and that's certainly true for Vick. But let's be honest, too. Michael Vick is very concerned he will not be able to achieve the lifestyle he once enjoyed again. He wants the bling. He also wants to play football and knows that's the only way he's going to have even a snowballs' chance in the hell he's created for himself to do that.
I root for Vick because I met him at a 1999 EA Sports Super Bowl party in Atlanta and when Vick was still in college but a star, and I was really shocked at how much a fish-out-of-water he seemed to be. I really believe he surrounded himself with the wrong kind of people at a very young age and didn't know any better.
Now he does, but what a price he's paid over the last two years.
