Michael Vick is on a campaign to let you know he's sorry.
Here’s a snippet of what he wrote in the entry.
**GLOBAL GRIND EXCLUSIVE** I’m sorry. That’s the place where I need to begin. My feeling of remorse. I ain’t never written a blog before, so putting my thoughts down on paper is a challenge – however it’s a challenge I must face. I can look a 250 pound linebacker in his eyes at the line of scrimmage and have no fear. But expressing myself when I know that there are millions of people who are so angry with me, and rightfully so, is a challenge unlike any other I have faced before.
What I did was horrendous. Awful. Inhumane. And I’ve no excuses for my actions. It makes my heart hurt now to think about what I’ve done. And I’m gonna be real honest, it took a while for me to get to this place.

This is his campaign to change your hearts and minds. Is it working? I don’t think so. Not yet at least.

/ August 17, 2009I’m gonna be real honest too Vick: I don’t quite believe you. I saw what you had to say on 60 Minutes and at your press conference. But it’s just not doing it for me. Maybe it’s because I’m desensitized to athletes apologizing every other day for committing a crime?
I think he’s sorry, but maybe not so much for what he did to the dogs. I think he might be sorry for losing $130 million.
Again, don’t know why, but I don’t believe you. But good luck this season. Honestly.
