and then after like day four or five. when I realized that ain't nobody want. nobody coming that's just when that's. when I had to start just like all the. emotions did you ever cry I tried for. two weeks straight yeah my wife said I. caught a crap for two weeks straight. all my life. sacrifice hustle baby price wanna slice. got to roll a dice that's why all my. life I've been grinding all my life. blush all my life been running all my. life sacrifice hustle paid the price.

wanna slice not to roll a dice that's. why all my life I've been grinding all. my life. hello welcome to another edition of Club. Shay Shay I am your host I'm also the. proud of Club Shay and the guy that's. stopping by for conversation and a drink. today is one of the NFL's most. electrifying players he transformed the. quarterback position he's the first. African-American quarterback to be. selected number one overall the first. quarterback to rush for 1 000 yards in a. season and he still holds the record for. the most rush yards by a quarterback. with over 6 100. you knew him for having.

the Michael Vick experience. Mike Big Mike how you doing bro thanks. for having me hey bro you know you come. by the club you know we gotta we got to. toast this thing yeah we got a toaster I. had a drunk half of it. went in early so you know that's. that's what that's why I'm here oh I. appreciate that experience so how you. doing. great Shay. um. Life's good kids good family Good Wife. good and uh you know enjoying my time as. as a sports analyst man and what's a.

typical day like for Michael Vick. get you wake up at what time you know. I'm so blessed man. um I wake up at 6 30. okay I wake up at. 6 30. my oldest daughter just started. driving to school which is you know not. a nightmare but it's you know it's a. maturity process right right right. yeah so I take my my youngest daughter. to school. um at like 7 30 and then from there I'm. up you know I'm trying to figure out. like what's the next line of business.

um if I gotta go and come on the show. with you guys if I go gotta do speak and. and and then from there my my youngest. son is in school so I pick him up and. and I get a chance to experience what. life is like as as a dad truly and when. I retired that's what I wanted I wanted. to make up for all that lost time do uh. do your kids understand. who you are maybe how old were they when. you were playing did they did they get. an opportunity to experience any of the. the Mike Michael Vick experience they.

did but they was young I would say they. was around I retired in 2015 so Jada. might have been. it's nine my oldest son was 11. right. and so they seen it. and they got they got the feeling they. got the Pittsburgh they didn't really. get they didn't ATF they didn't get. there. they didn't get that which is something. that is a blessing in the curse but now. they they see the aftermath and they. like they leave them wondering but.

I try to cut on YouTube and all that. here and there but they don't want to. hear that [ __ ] my youngest son he's five. years old I try to cut it this was daddy. this was Daddy he'd look at it and he'd. go off to something else so I'm hoping. one day football stick or he gravitate. toward a little bit right when you know. like young players when they shoot the. ball they like Kobe yeah when any. quarterback take off running the first. thing they hold up man that joke of Vic. man that's a Vic how does that make you. feel that you're like you're revered. like you're revered.

uh it makes me feel good Shannon because. um. it was the time of my career where I. started to feel like. out the my style of play wasn't. it wasn't going to sustain right and you. know I got criticized for it. to a certain degree and I just started. to go through that phase of man I I got. to become a true pocket pastor and. it was in Atlanta my coaches encouraged. me Greg now rest in peace now Jim Moore.

just be yourself continue to be yourself. it's a great way to play the game I. always thought just moving the chains. and. you know by any means necessary right. was the way to get it done and then it. was until I got to Andy and I always. wanted to play with Andy for Andy. because I seen the way he handled. Donovan right and they had some great. years and he's like look man you just. take what you got and you just build on. it and from that point when I got the. ending in 2009 I was I'm just going with. it I'm just going with it when you're in.

Atlanta did you did you ever try to. suppress who you were naturally as far. as running the football you like you. know what man y'all beat me up for. running the football y'all say I can't. read a defense and so I just take off. running that everything that I'm getting. is because of my leg did you actually. suppress some a little bit of who you. were as a running quarterback to try to. prove to everybody I can throw the ball. from the pocket absolutely it was a game. in 2005. I had an MCL injury I was playing. probably shouldn't have been out in the. field and I told myself I'm gonna use.

this moment to show that I can pass the. football right say when I say I went out. I'm gonna go back and look at the status. but maybe we can look it up man I. probably passed for 350. went like 28. for 34. one of them days I was hot I was. feeling it and I went to the podium. afterwards and I it was I was it was. very maturity for me to go off on the. media because I mean there's no need to. going off on the tangent with them I was. young and I was like suppressing what I. you know what I did best right.

and so I just let them have it that day. I was you know don't ever say I can't. pass the football from the pocket ever. again and now I'm going back to being me. I'm going back to being a dual threat. and uh I just wanted to prove that so it. was always something that you know it's. always something that pushed you which. is a good thing right. um and it was all for the better I know. and which. you know goes back to what you just. talked about what you just said you know. now when people mention a great run or. see a great run they mentioning me and.

that's because. now I had the people around me to say. keep doing what you do right. when I look at you everybody was like. man when are we gonna see that Michael. Vick in Atlanta that we saw at Virginia. Tech a guy that could a broken play that. he could get off script they called a. play he could get off that script and go. hit his head on the goal post I think it. was the Minnesota game it was the. Minnesota game but it was your coach. your former coach Dan. [Music]. Reeds and I was at the I was at the. funeral when you gave amazing speech to. talking about Coach I was in a bad.

crying honestly um and uh coach was just. now he had a way with me. um funny stories I never wanted to play. for Dan Reeves I was watching him as a. kid I watched him go off on on John and. he was tough he was tough on the job he. was tougher but uh by the time he I got. to him you know and it was ironic he. drafted me he was light-hearted yep you. know he showed a different emotion he. was like took baby steps with me and uh. you know he he gave me the confidence.

and his play calling was catered towards. my ability like what. I seen I seen Justin Fields yesterday. and I seen uh Daniel Jones yeah doing. like a sweet like a 18 sweet right. quarterback sweet just generic right and. he was doing that type of stuff with me. in 2002 so I mean just just great times. great memories. when you see these young quarterbacks. you mentioned Justin Fields uh Daniel. Jones Sequoia nicknamed the Vanilla Ice. you see Lamar Jackson you see the Advent.

of the quarterback and now legs is not. criticized as much as it was when you. were playing no now it's embraced man. you see what Justin feels he just had. back-to-back games he had 350 yards you. see what football records and all that. right do you wish had it been embraced. more when you were played you think. you'd have been more receptive to it and. said you know what this is who I am I'm. going to embrace it I'm gonna add the. passing ability from the pocket but this. was what I believe that can help lead a. team to a Super Bowl or just or even if.

I could just vent and say give me some. time right give me some time bro right. I'm coming out of offense in college. where it was right oriented right and. then you know we didn't pass it a lot I. still led the nation in passing. efficiency so I knew how to play keep. away right and keep the ball away from. the defense. and so as those years you know and it. all starts when you started losing right. when you lose games you drop a couple of. games and then I got injured trying to. run the ball and so it's all these. things circulating if you if you don't. stop running the ball you can you're not.

gonna have longevity I got all these. things in my head when I just wanted to. play football right let me just play my. style of football they fight Dan Reeves. in 2003 after a win ironically which was. crazy. and so now I got to pick up the pieces. now then they bring in the west coast. system right which we was both in right. um and so that they brung that into. teaching me how to be a pastor right you. know Rich McKay's idea. um when he hired Jim Moore and they. bring in Greg Knapp and those guys and.

and so now I'm forced to. learn the West Coast system but I'm. still in the back of my mind like if all. this fails and break down I'm gonna I'm. gonna take off and have whatever. criticism I got to deal with I'm gonna. deal with it right and I just and I left. it at that and I I made the Pro Bowl. that year yep and then the next year you. know you know sometimes you Peak and. then you start to digress right and so. and so we were regressing.

in 2005 and and now he come to rumbles. Here Come The Whispers yeah you know you. can't bear running you can't do it both. you can't be a dual threat I run 4 000. yards on 06. but we still we don't make the playoffs. right so now it's like some got to get. right and then and then I never made it. to. the 2007 my seventh season 2007 because. I end up going to prison right but. what happened was say. Bobby Petrino came with his offense.

right and man when I say I was back I. was about to light the league up in. 2007. I just never made it that Lamar. Jackson won the Heisman yes yes and we. was about to run it in the NFL it's. about to get crazy. go back you did something that no other. team had ever done you went to Lambeau. Field and beat the Packers. in a home playoff game yeah that raised. the bar for Mike Vick because think. about all those other great teams that. have gone to all those other great. quarterbacks have gone to Lambo and.

takes the defeat in the playoffs here. come Michael Vick that might have been. what your what 2000 second season 2002. yeah 2000 you go to your second season. now you have to first of all to get to. the playoffs you got to go to Cleveland. you beat Cleveland in Cleveland. but yeah we. we beat Cleveland it was a crazy Club. yeah you're crazy with a couple of games. at the end just to make the playoffs. yeah I learned in that game you know all. the guys you know we playing in. Cleveland yeah. um no sleeves no sleeves you got to be. tough all this whole you know tough guys. and uh I froze I got froze I'm like.

never again so that next week in Green. Bay I'm warm right I'm ready to go and. we blasting right we March up in there. and saying and it was uh I never say the. game was easy that night it was like you. know when it's a sense of calm right and. then you like emotionally you you not. really it's no anxiety with underdogs. right. we already you know there's Brent five. on the other side so I'm I'm ecstatic to. be going up against him right I'm like. man I get to go against my childhood.

hero right to some degree and uh man we. waxing that night though right you got. two. I look at Lamar Jackson and Lamar. Jackson I think he compares favorably to. you not just because of he's a black. quarterback but his ability to throw the. football I think he might be a little. better passer to you especially at this. stage of his career. you said that you believe Lamar is a. more Dynamic Runner than you are I don't. know about that Mike uh nah you know I. made it I made a comment where he was in. college in college it was just one of.

them days when I'm sitting there. watching him and I'm like hold on I. played against Florida State right. International Championship I I gave him. work right but he was just like he was. he was toying with him he was playing. with him it looked effortless it looked. easy. and you know Bobby petrino's the coach. and I'm like. I just I just had to say it right and. and it was almost like. I was waiting to see something like this. right I never thought I would see. somebody who looked like me right ever. again right but then in the back of my.

mind I'm like that can't be possible. like you know God working mysterious. ways somebody gonna come along so as I'm. watching Lamar I'm really trying to push. the envelope for him like he need to. play it on the next I can't wait to see. right him on the next level in today's. time and today's offenses what that what. he would look like now. and uh he ended up getting drafted to. Baltimore and you know are you surprised. that people wanted to change positions. that they wanted him to be a wide. receiver they wanted him to be something.

other than a quarterback although the. man had won the Heisman Trophy had a. better year his his third year than he. had the year he that he won the Heisman. and people still said nah we hadn't seen. enough we want you to try a position but. to his credit to his mom credit he said. nah I'm a quarterback she said my son is. a quarterback and if you don't want to. draft him at that position that's your. choice but he'll only play quarterback. absolutely I did I did some interviews. regarding Lamar leading up to the draft. right and I told. a reporter who said it to me that's the.

stupidest thing I ever heard I can't. remember who it was what network. what outlet but I told them that's the. stupidest thing I ever heard if this guy. don't play quarterback in the National. Football League it'll be a tragedy. tragedy. and. whether he went I'm like I don't care. what y'all talking about. if you don't go in the first second or. third and that's cool. if you who I said whoever drafted them. in the fifth sixth seventh round if. that's what y'all think go get a gym. and he'll eventually become one of the.

best quarterbacks in the National. Football League because you know yeah. you can look at some guys and you know. he's instinctive he's going to know how. to maneuver the pocket and work it he's. got to get with. um offensive coordinator who can mold. him I think the best thing for Lamar was. getting drafted to Baltimore Marty. morning wig was there he was a disciple. of Andy Reid West Coast sister so he got. to learn protections and because what. Martin the OC when you were Marty let's. go see when I was in Philly okay yep and. Andy was was the overseer and and so on.

and so forth but he got the chance to. get a great understanding of offenses. right so. the contract. um they offered him a contract it wasn't. to his liking he see the contract out. there he see DeShaun Watson's contract. 250 million guaranteed DeSean Watson is. a phenomenal player but I don't believe. he's accomplished as much as in the NFL. as Lamar has Lamar is a unanimous MVP. yeah Lamar is a multiple time Pro Bowl. player he's won a playoff game gotten.

his team to the playoffs several times. he's like you know what he said now my. contract is dry I'm on the last page the. last chapter the punctuation of my. contract. DeSean had years left on his contract. yet Cleveland tore it up yeah he's like. how would you have approached that. situation they come to you now they. offer you more money than you ever. thought you'd ever make and he said nah. I'm worth more than that and you know. the NFL season is a land mine right one.

wrong step and something goes boom. and he said you know what because I'm. willing to roll the dice I'm gonna bet. on me. and at the end of the year. yesterday's prices Fat Joe say is not. today's price exactly. what if you if I don't know if you talk. to him if you could advise Lamar how. would you have advised him in that. situation. I understand I would advise them in. terms of look I understand the business. Acumen in in this whole situation like.

it it makes sense for you to get the. most money that you can possibly make in. this game because like you say one false. movie. season end career can be ended injury. and then you know you may get treated a. certain way right and so that's that's. logical that's that that could become. fact. but. one I think Cleveland made that move to. make it hard for Baltimore right. two.

when you when you accept this type of. money. versus based on cap spacing. the one thing that becomes a real issue. is that it's hard to sign other guys man. right it's hard to keep teams together. right you're going to eventually have to. restructure. um I'll restructure yeah as long as. y'all keep getting inside the Box yeah. but I need that 300 million guaranteed. but man you can't go out now now limit. your chances to me it limits your.

chances of going out and getting the. championship but let me tell you what. Lamar said Lamar said after I won that. mvp the Third Year y'all could have came. to they could have did it then they. could have got it done they came to. America y'all could have done something. honestly I thought that said y'all. didn't believe he said y'all didn't. believe it right God did right a DJ. because that's the thing what we're. seeing now is that when teens believe in. their quarterbacks we saw with my homes. we saw with Josh Allen Stephanie even we. saw it with DeSean when they believe in. that quarterback after that third year. even in Houston yeah they would yeah.

they go give you the money because they. believe in you right because they didn't. the man had an MVP yeah he had an MVP a. unanimous MVP only two players in the. history has ever won an unanimously so. he said so what else do I need to do I. would have now at that in that moment I. probably would have got with my reps and. went to the went to the table right then. and they're like yo let's just get this. out the way right because it's going to. be a bigger issue next year right and. that didn't happen so you know right. having the right representation and all. that at the right time timing is. everything and a lot of these well his.

representation is his mom is he's his. mom is handling with some help from the. internet yeah yeah which I respect I. respect that and uh but it's just hard. because you know look you've been in. contract negotiation the team's gonna. tell you everything that you're not. right and sometimes it gets personal and. the one thing I don't one don't you tell. your agent right your agent doesn't tell. you all the things bad that they say. about you you're right he keep because. he knows you're human right the human. illness is going to come into a play oh. that's what y'all think about me y'all. y'all don't think I'm good as this guy.

y'all don't think I'm that bad as that. guy I could get this and so now you go. in there. you huffing and puffing yeah yeah that's. that's the one thing I will say about my. age and Joe Siegel shout out to Joe he's. like good people it's like a father. figure to me Joe. used to have me sometimes in the room. doing contract negotiations right just. so I can hear some of the things that's. being said whether I like that or not. he's like you're gonna sit right here. you're gonna know all the reasons why I. can't get something done right well I. can't get something done so when I think. about representation in a sense I think.

you need that professionalism you know. on some level so that you don't have to. ask for everything right you don't have. to hear certain things and. um that's the only thing I think could. have been different in this case but. nevertheless he's gonna get the money. it's gonna happen whether they come from. Baltimore they'll be full a fool if they. don't right good quarterback and it's. hard to find yeah you know that so. it's gonna happen for him man it's just. all about where and I hope it's in. Baltimore because. I I see I foresee a championship in.

their future right they do it right when. you look at that you look at Lamar you. look at Jalen hurts you look at Justin. Fields uh. DeSean Deshawn is not his is not his. mobile but he can run he's more of a. pocket passer when you look at when you. look at a guy take a guy like a Jalen. hurts and you see where he's come from. second round pick goes to Philly people. like well hold on y'all just gave Carson. Wentz all this money why would you take. a quarterback they saw something clearly. they saw something this kid's a winner. right he has tremendous intangibles. right he's a tremendous he's an off the.

chart leader he maybe doesn't have the. biggest arm doesn't have the best. accuracy but there's something to be. said about a guy that knows how to win. and he can get his team to Rally behind. him that's something I don't believe. Carson Wentz was ever able to do in. Philly yeah I think I think attitude is. everything man just having a chance to. sit down with Jaden a couple weeks ago. to hear him speak about direction right. not just not just for him but the team. is like man I'm willing to get up at six. in the morning I'm willing to come in. early go in the weight room get some.

extra treatment and go watch some film. and get with the guys and have a good. time in the locker room and go watch. some more films it's like the dedication. to a certain degree. um you know Lee will always lead to. success yes and I think if you just some. in some cases if you just keep your head. down and keep grinding. good things come to those who wait you. know sometimes it you know you can wait. too long and you get the leftovers but. hey. if you at the Forefront of it and they. believe in you you gotta you always got.

a shot and I think he's a guy that he's. been through so much he's the he's. Embrace that role right you know and uh. it's just yielding great dividends for. him right now yeah I think the thing is. that I look at it because a lot of times. as quarterback you got to be a lot of. different things you got to wear a lot. of hats you got to be a politician you. got to shake a lot of hands you got to. smile a lot of guys face you just. because you're on the offensive side you. got to mix with the defensive guy you. got to talk to the Special Teams guys. yeah you got to be part psychiatrist you. gotta guys got a problem they're gonna. come here you got to talk to them about. every all of them.

our coach Mark Big Brother you got to be. all of that when uh the quarterbacks now. Tom Brady 43 14 45. 23 23rd season struggled a little bit. earlier this year seems to be turning. around Aaron Rodgers uh struggling. played great against Green Bay struggled. again against the uh Tennessee Titans. what are you seeing from these guys uh. because it seems that. the statuesque quarterback like Tom. Brady like we saw with Peyton Manning.

like we saw with Drew Brees it seems to. me that those guys are becoming relics. that I don't the guy they're morphing. away from those guys and I'm not saying. the guy have to be you but a guy has to. have like Patrick Mahone right y'all. have to have somewhat like a Josh a guy. that can. yeah a little Josh Allen um it saddens. me because I look I I idolize Peyton and. Drew and Tom for so many years like even. when it came to mad and I'm like man I'm. not playing with me I'm not playing with. Donovan even though Donovan was dope on.

the game like Steve McNair I want I want. the I want what they got you know I. would love to have what they have. um in terms of the sense of playing the. quarterbacks and I want to get there one. day that that's my ultimate goal is to. one day just come to the line change. plays yeah yeah we we moving we running. and so to see and it'll be some. quarterbacks that'll I thought Trevor. Lawrence would be that guy but still. Trevor Lawrence could move along can.

move you can move so it's like every guy. who's coming in now if you look at the. guys who will be coming out in the next. couple years uh was it Caleb Williams. from USC yeah. but you see Caleb obviously Caleb. Williams can run yeah but you see Bryce. young guys he got a little better wheels. and it's and so it's like the game is. trending towards that's what coaches. want right you see Daniel Jones like. they call him vanilla Vic I thought that. was the funniest thing ever but it was. cool it was a cool job what what do you.

think is going on with Aaron Rodgers and. I've told people I said I think Aaron. Rodgers is going through what Tom Brady. went to in 2019. he needs more Talent. around him yeah Brady realize yeah that. there's not just good enough for me to. have a guy that can catch the ball and. fall down yeah I need I need more. because as we look as we age no matter. what it is a professional sports or not. we need more help doing things as we. start to eight oh man. before Tom Brady can take three guys. from Dorchester and go with a ball game. uh uh uh Aaron Rodgers could go take.

three guys from Ashwaubenon Wisconsin. and he can go win a ball game now they. got to have you see Mike Evans you see. Chris Godwin you've seen top-notch. defensive top five defense you got to. have all those things with Brady before. I remember Aaron Rodgers won the MVP he. had the number one offense in the 32nd. ranked defense because he could overcome. that coming yeah he can't now man it was. like when I got older and I lost Deshawn. and I lost Jeremy Mack and I I seen what. type of profound effect the head on just. my everyday play yes like even in.

practice it's like now I gotta find ways. to make this work right and it's not the. same caliber guys I think for Aaron uh I. don't think age has anything to do with. the decline with the entire team and the. decline in his play I just think that. not having Devonte Adams we all. underestimated that whole situation it's. just that that connection yeah and I. think Aaron did the same thing I mean I. don't know if and I wasn't you know none. of us was in the room we didn't know who.

fought for who to keep what you know. well he turned out he turned out more. money from Green Bay to go to Vegas but. he did say he felt the uncertainty you. can't keep saying you're gonna retire. this year I don't feel bad getting into. it he's like man I want some security I. want that yeah without you look when. you're a great player sometimes you. overestimate your ability and. underestimate someone else dude because. you know he like well I did win two MVPs. before you got here yeah he started. seeing the stats Aaron Rodgers is this. many and oh when Devonte Adams is hurt. yeah.

and then you know I read the headlines. hey you see what Devonte he's that dude. there he is he is it's the same in. regards to what he's going through in uh. in Las Vegas right now but. hey maybe he maybe he might Circle back. to Green Bay in a couple years he's. already hit the weather tonight in Vegas. they play indoors yeah we're Tom you saw. Tom and Tom was struggling this year. obviously he was going with some things. off the field maybe we didn't know to. the extent yeah but I think we all.

surmised when he left for 11 days in. training camp you and I both have been. to training camp unless there's a death. in the family or some medical emergency. you're not getting 11 days you might get. a day you're not getting 11 days so we. knew something was going on maybe not to. the extent in which it came to fruition. that he ended up later getting a divorce. and uh I know I'm sorry to hear that oh. hopefully everything is going well in. his life now but what do you think was. going on outside of dealing with what he. was dealing off the field what would. what did you see watching Tom on the.

field yeah I just it was no cohesiveness. and you know I heard y'all said I heard. you said on the show it's like the Run. game is not present. any season I've ever been a part of. where we didn't have a run game. it was tumultuous it was horrible it was. hard to move to say it was hard to move. the ball and things just don't click. it's not as easy people underestimate. the play action game yes. when them backers not stepping up or. peeking off the Plex because they're not. worried about the run right they're not.

even there yeah yeah now there's no. lanes and it gets harder so I always. felt like Tom was at his best when he. had guys like James White even you know. he could dump it off to him and it's. extension of the passing game but. you know I I see them turning the corner. and turning the page and I also think. Bruce earnings influence I love Brian. Leftwich I love Brian and what he's. brung to the table but I also you know. Bruce earns is like Andy Reid you know. overseer you always need to over and.

when we think we got all the answers as. as players and we think we great and we. no sometimes we don't you know sometimes. we need that overseer. Desean. obviously we know a phenomenal Talent. he's going through some things he got. suspended for 11 game dealt with a lot. you were the guy that was in a situation. you dealt with some things and you came. back and you had to face that and that's. never going to go away longer that's. never going to go away because you you. went to you you went to Philly it. followed you to Philly you went to. Pittsburgh it followed you to Pittsburgh.

and so you go you're gonna hear it. they're gonna be somebody in the stands. that's going to have a sign they're. gonna be some people when you pull up on. the bus they're gonna be out there how. would you tell DeSean how would if you. could sit down and talk to DeSean how. would you tell him to how should he. handle the situation moving forward yeah. we're just going for one you got to take. it one day at a time right and uh don't. don't take it personal right like uh you. know especially when when this is. self-inflicted and so you gotta roll.

with the punches and you gotta accept. your wrongs and and move forward and I. think you know for me for a long time it. was it was super emotional right I'm. like you know I got to take my emotions. out of this and I got to look myself in. the mirror and say okay you know you. you made this bed you got to lay in it. and uh I think that's kind of you know. the approach that he got to take moving. forward and uh you know at the end of. the day he still has the opportunity to. go out and play ball and do the things. that he loved to do and if that that's. enough to clear his conscience in the.

four hour time was time span and you. gonna still hear you're gonna hear. Echoes You're Gonna Hear Whispers gonna. now you're resolving your resiliency is. going to be tested on all levels right. and so for him it's about just you know. staying true to himself and uh you know. doing whatever you can to always try to. make amends and and pertaining to the. situation that you went through. let's talk about that period that you. went through in your life. you get the 130 million dollar contract. at the time you were the highest paid.

player in the NFL. Mike I lived in Atlanta when you were in. Atlanta and you might have been you you. were as popular if not more popular than. Chipper Jones and everybody if you from. Georgia they know. shout out to Chip and so I'm thinking to. myself Mike you could have had a car. dealership you could have about five or. six McDonald's you could had franchise. at the franchise you get that money. what made you to think to say you know. what I want to do something that.

I don't know if you thought that what. you did was that harmful but I'm saying. adult fighting ring that's what you get. you get a you probably got 25 million. yeah I mean I I had 13 million in the. bank when uh you know when I was what 25. 26 years old and didn't know what to do. with it right that's where I come from. right you know by the time I end up. taking anything about the car wash you. ain't talking about a barber shop I was. young I went to out the blink and I told. him I said Mr blank he's always come to. me like you're spending all your money. you're spending all your money this real. story that you talk and I'm like nah nah.

I got 15 million dollars in the bank I. don't know what to do with this money. right I got everything I want every car. every house whatever I don't know what. to do and there's more coming got Bob. got Bob yeah yeah so I'm like I got to. protect this now so I'm like introduce. me to some people right and help me you. know grow this right and so we had to. sit down and uh. you know it it kind of went it kind of. went crazy. um and that's you know uh to be. determined but uh yeah man I I was I was.

making those taking those steps to. invest my money properly and money was. put into Union City Atlanta. um just gonna build a city strip malls. and restaurants and we had a grant we. were so I was getting there right I was. turning the car I was I was doing what I. was supposed to do and then uh you know. I ended up. you know why as I started to turn the. corner as I started to see life. different you know I gotta you know I. got a young you know daughter at the.

time I got a son that's like four. and you know as I'm starting to make. change you know it's just a little too. late right it was a little too late and. then I ended up going through that and. they they took everything from me right. it took everything Shane like I had I. had eight million like invested in the. city they took it all I'm like yo how. you do that so in other words they. thought that the money that even though. you had professional athlete they think. that the money that you got you got it. through ill-gotten means that you got. that through the ring uh earned that no. I earned that that was that that came.

from my play right I think I mean I. saved everything I might have spent. might have spent close to maybe liquid. maybe like two million dollars right but. it was just how do you get so much bread. whose idea was it say hey Mike I got. this great eye because normally homeboys. come but they got a car wash or they. going to get you the club at home but we. ought to open this club yeah with your. money you know you take all the real you. know you know everybody got all these. ideas. to the table but an idea no money right. idea so so so when they came you said.

hey Mike I think we can do this because. I mean with any business I mean it has. to have a business model business plan. you got to get dogs you want to get the. best best dogs from all around the world. you might have to import dogs from. Argentina wherever they do that at you. might have to import the dog okay now we. got to build out we got to build kennels. to house the dog I will say this that. had nothing to do with any of my friends. that was you yeah I mean I was I grew up. in I grew up under that so like I grew. up seeing that grew up watching it so it.

just never like I still had the hood. you're right I still had the hood in me. and it's like yo we're gonna stay true. to our Roots Mike you worked your ass. off you had a lot of homeboys that. didn't work as hard as you and stayed. there you worked your ass off to leave. there in order to just to go back yeah. but nobody knows to visit nobody never. went to prison though. yeah but I I had never heard of anybody. going to jail either me neither so I you.

know so that's why I was like. so I so I didn't go I didn't go to. prison for that right yeah I went to. prison for interstate commerce right. which was kind of you know confusing. like damn okay you know so laws and. rules had to be changed in order to make. it so that you know I but look I that's. watering the bridge got a documentary. coming out to talk about it okay and. just kind of clearing the air on right. the big misconceptions and the way I'm. perceived. it's like you know I don't take anything. away I don't blame anybody but myself.

everything but it's some things that I. you know I feel I do feel like I got to. take advantage of in a lot of situations. I look at like you didn't have any. homeboys I mean like when you first. started coming on the show my homeboys. are shocked though they. they wanted nothing but the best for me. right. but they knew I was I was I was a hard. here when I when I not not because I had. a lot of money and I could I could make. decisions but. they knew like uh if uh if we deter Mike.

from doing this ain't gonna do number. continue to do you know somebody else to. go cut off yeah so they felt like they. felt like they were stuck between the. rock and a hot spot with me and I was I. respect them for that and just to I. heard the stories of them you know. wanting me to get away from me but they. you know they didn't know what to do. right you know they I mean maybe they. felt like yeah Mike Mike you might cut. me off right you know if I go too hard. on them and and it's it's. it's really it's messed up because. that's how we was on the right track. right everybody and then when I say they.

had big plans Big Dreams and you know we. started a sports agency we was doing a. lot of stuff man they had shop ideas and. by the decision that I made right the. decision that I made screwed everything. up when you're eight you okay they come. to fruition they come to find out you. got this ring and your your lawyer you. had the best money that lawyer can buy. and he said Mike. probably gonna do some time yeah well. the first thing with my let me back up.

the my lawyer that I really trusted the. one I paid the least amount of money to. kept it real with me the lawyers I hired. they brung in to pay it paid all the. money to they were lying lie to me bro. took my bread and just dipped off just. got got low but but yeah but go ahead. the the lawyer that you paid the least. amount of money to he told you Mike. you're probably gonna have to go set. this one down for me oh yeah yeah it. wanted like when he broke they needed a. face now you said a lot of people didn't.

go to jail people didn't go to jail for. dog fight so they need a Facebook. something yeah but but still I knew like. when it was coming to it I was like man. you know what man it's all right it. won't write I was even though I was. turning the corner. wasn't into it like that no more it was. like I still had I still felt shameful. for for what had happened right so it. was times where I should look myself in. the mirror and be like damn boy you. going to prison like you about to spend. some time. when did it Donald where did it say man.

this this bleep just got real I'm about. to go to the I'm about to go to the. house when they you know I want it ain't. get real it was it wasn't a joke. it was never a joke right but it didn't. get real so they slammed that door and. they locked it. and I was like hold on. wow this is really just this is. happening right now like three months. ago I had 15 meal in the bank I was like. No just a week ago a week well it was. yeah it was all coming but and I still.

had all my I still had all my bread yeah. um but it was like when they when they. when they closed that door it was like. every so for the first when my first day. in there. they kept coming to check on me to make. sure I was like a suicide watch because. they said people yeah so they like they. know it's my first yeah yeah. they probably I think they was peeking. in on me so like right the walls and. never I mean it's you know he's just in. a room so you know what I did I took the. covers and I just put them over my head. because like yo hold on I feel like I'm. about to go crazy for a minute right.

and and then I guess until I settled. down and they was like all right he all. right that's when they started to check. on me but it every time they came to. that door to check on me I thought it. was somebody coming to that door to say. all right you know what we go you. learned your lesson right a couple hours. right somebody bailed you out somebody. walked in or. I'm like yo and then after like day four. or five when I realized that ain't. nobody want nobody coming that's just. when that's when I had to start just. like you landed all the emotions did you. ever cry I cry for two weeks straight.

yeah my wife said I could cry for two. weeks straight. I really cried after I got sentenced. because I went into my sentence and not. expecting to get two years right you. know expected it was like I say you. don't get a lot of lawyers like leading. up to. I'm you know failed a drug test right I. was on pre-trial like just still. preacher yeah. come on Mike oh yeah like. you got the message.

you know I learned about levels I. apologetic oh yeah I've asked God I'm. coming to Mercy of the court I follow. the mercy of the Court he made me pay he. may be patients like it was funny. because I was in the club one night on. pre-trial in the club this is where I'm. at in life. like you know actually got eyes on you. like a random dude come up to me and say. you got judge Henry Hudson I'm like yes. he said I went through my pre-trial I. did everything right he said he said.

judge Henry Hudson still gave me five. years that's when I knew I was in. trouble and I was like right then and. now I made up my mind to to get ready to. go do what I needed to do I still didn't. know I was gonna get too much. I party hard that night. and once he said that he was like man I. did everything and I was like. you know what this is about to be a. chapter in my life that I'll never. forget right and um you know hopefully. one day I can just live to talk about it.

and laugh about it right like we're. doing now it's not a serious matter this. is like you know for you know the next. Generations to see as they watch this. and be like look man don't play with. your career don't play with God what God. give you and the position that he puts. you in never take that for granted and. uh you know I just wish I'd have known. better if I'd have known better I would. have done better I promise you so you. laying there. in Leavenworth probably laying on the. bed like this there was a six by nine. eight by ten at first I went to a county.

a county jail for like 60 days okay this. was like in a in a Cell small cell by. myself and then I went to Leavenworth. okay you look the Leavenworth and you're. laying down and you're like. trying not to cry. yeah bro you got 130 million dollar. contract you had 15 mil in the bank you. got another seven eight million coming a. year for the next seven years. thank you. and now you just like the rest of the. Knuckleheads that's done just like. everybody else to get in here that I I.

I've really told myself you just like. everybody else in here and you're going. I'm gonna I'm not gonna act like I'm. better than nobody in here. so what are the guys were you ever. around any other guys I was yeah I was. around. 250 people. they wanted to say that. they wanted to say that but they had so. much respect for me it was like. they brought me in like come on little. bro we got to get through this right. like. like they they seen the pain right they.

seen the pain. um the toughest part was being in there. and filing bankruptcy though. because you know for all this time. that's what I got all that but at the. bank what if you gotta put all that. money and put it in the ground I'm like. yo hold on I just gave eight million. dollars to this guy over here. I'm not filing bankruptcy. so everybody looking at me like oh like. yo you got it I thought you said you had. Investments and I'm like yo bro I do. so that's always been a mystery to me in.

this the code and I'm still trying to. crack to this day but I'm going a little. hard on it now she going a little hard. on it now man a lot of money came on. missing. you filed bankruptcy and I heard you. talk about it and I don't remember what. I heard it but you said you know what. I'm gonna make right everybody that I've. wronged. I'm gonna I'm gonna make full. restitution to everybody absolutely why. was that so important because I know. what me oh well I'm sorry.

y'all like the rest of them. yeah bro but you pay back every last. dive to every creditor why was that so. important to you Mike. um. because I the money that I invested I. thought I was going to get that back. right I thought it was going to come. back somehow somewhere I'm like okay if. I pay everything back then at least the. the eight million dollars that I. invested. will come back you know it might come.

back double it might it might you know. it might not it might might liquidate. and it might not be worth what it might. be six million right but still got. somebody I got something. and and so I I choose the you know the. Falcons they came out today you know. everybody came after their money and. yeah yeah that was the reason I had to. file bankruptcy. hello. so they so they wanted the signing bonus. back yeah they came out to that bonus.

and I respect them for that because it. was like you know. I I was that bad. yeah I was like I was hurt but I lose. sleep at night over it because uh you. know even just going through the. bankruptcy and the whole bankruptcy. committee and uh and the trustees and. all that was like I I got a it was a lot. of questions that never got answered. right and it's just really frustrating. like that you want to know where the. eight million yeah I'm like now I'm a. black man like I work hard for this and. I I did pay all the money back but at.

least Kenny. can I can I get the rest of it you know. what I'm saying where's the rest of it. because the narrative on me is that I I. was bad with money and I blew all my. money and I screwed up no I didn't right. with. is there anything that you could have. done differently obviously being from. Newport News there are a lot of guys. from that Allen Iverson from that area. uh Sweet Pea Whitaker recipes. Bruce Smith is from uh he's a little.

further I think a little further than. you are yeah. from that area your cousin is Aaron. Brooks yep quarterback Pro Bowl. quarterback played with the Saints had a. nice career is there anything is there. any. friends that you could have had if you. could have surrounded yourself with some. different people do you think the. situation would have been different what. could Michael Vick have done differently. to to to have a different outcome. uh probably listen to my mom. so what did your mom say when your mom.

because Mom knows my mom found out when. my mom found out what was going on mom's. just like you need to stop doing what. you're doing right let's say I got 13. million dollars in the bank I got money. now I'm I'm I'm looking at it like I'm. all right right I got it anything. happened I got it under control I I it's. I'm not doing I'm lying to her right my. mom looked me in my eyes and one day and. she told me she was like you you're not. happy. man I got all this I got everything and. she's like yo you're not happy what were.

you missing side why did she think you. weren't happy it's just a lot of guilt. to what I was doing. um. you know God had a lot of other. situations going on with kids and family. you know well my son and going through. it was you know his mom so. I just wasn't in a good place in like. 2006 2007 I was really searching for. happiness uh when I had everything that. I thought I wanted and everything I. worked hard for in life and then. you know and this was before anything. even popped off popped off I was just.

it was a lot of people coming to me. trying to get you had everything that. you would hope for my other child you. hope to have riches Beyond Your Wildest. Dreams you had you hope to be more. famous than anybody you had ever known. and you had that you had everything that. you had hoped for but you weren't happy. you didn't have peace no I didn't have. peace. you know I just wanted to be drafted in. the first second third fourth round not. not even I never thought I'd be drafting. the first round as a quarterback ever. when you started ever you didn't think. you could be drafted the first round and.

you started hearing talk that Mike Vick. might be the first pick of the draft I'm. like me. I had a good friend tell me like after. my first year. um Cornell Brown yeah okay yeah. Baltimore yeah Cornell was like the. Baltimore used to come pick me up from. Virginia Tech he was like the Baltimore. Ravens said they would they'll take you. in the top five I just finished up my. freshman year yeah I was like whoa but. still that dream could become a reality. I had one more season to do and I'm like. I got to stay focused. so I knew I was on my way I knew I had a.

shot it was just all about keeping. everything in perspective right. so you get that. you do your time you did 23 months right. it's 23 months 23 months. hard ones coach Dungey I think the coach. dungeon come visit you because then you. came to visit. um. as soon as I got out it went straight. they I went to see Roger. Arthur Arthur Blank came to see me. um at my house and uh you know it's just. good to see those those guys and. definitely my conversation with Roger.

man this this is what changed my life I. sat down with Roger and Roger's night. Roger Goodell to commit Roger Goodell. and uh I was like Roger because I lied. to Ron I told Roger bold face is not. right in his face Raj I'm sorry I. shouldn't have lied Roger hey. we're not here to talk about the past. we had to talk about you moving forward. wow and that right there was everything. to me it was like we was able to have a. meeting with the with the league office. and everybody who's helping and making.

decisions for me to come back and get. reinstated. and. that right there changed my life I mean. obviously saying coach Dungey because. Dungey just wanted to make sure like you. your empathy you can trite and then get. a sense of where I was in life. and uh. but Roger and those words man just was. like okay we can turn the page because. you say good lie to Roger obviously the. NFL they got feelers they got people. they got reaches that go far beyond what. the human what the normal person can.

reach so when they got wind of this they. call you in they talk to you they ask. Mike Mike what's your involvement how. involved are you in this are you. involved with this or is this someone. just using your name and you said I. ain't got nothing to do with this. oh my God feel like man you like you. like you like a child before the parent. like you did you did you I was just like. I was just trying to protect so much. honestly like when I think about it now. because I can be truthful about it I was.

like I had so much respect for it just. everybody but my relationship with Nike. and what we had built and created all. that whole shoe line and I'm like yeah. but like him like I'm not losing that. and so I was thinking wrong right so if. I would have went in with a different. attitude maybe it could have turned out. a different way. you know my lawyer always told me that I. can't represent you if you don't tell me. the truth right so you lied to the age. you're 32 not everybody. God. well maybe if you had totally true they.

could have got to the front of this. right right yeah got out in front of. this blah blah blah yeah I learned so. much about myself I learned like just. how to be honest like what right. trying to tell us the same lie over and. over again is impossible yeah cause. you're gonna forget yeah you should have. been to the front of the line of the. tail somebody beat you to the line to. tell they be they beat you to the front. of the LIE detail. you know man God had a plan for my life. man you get out how did the Philly.

situation come to be they had Donovan. yeah. Donovan was one of the guys who. um wanted to help me. and uh they could when they called I was. like man I'm. I couldn't believe that they called did. any other team reach out uh yeah. Baltimore Not Baltimore but Buffalo. he's talking to Buffalo and we was. talking to uh Cincinnati okay and so the. premise was not to play my first year to. get myself back in playing shape and not.

have the whole Fanfare around me so. right so go go to a place where you can. be a backup get your get your feet wet. again and then and then work yourself. back into the. and then that didn't go according to. playing because you end up playing uh I. was able to sit the first year with uh. with Andy learning live from Donovan. learning a lot from Andy like their. philosophy how they go about right. um game planning and going into a game. and it was totally different than. anything I ever seen. The Game Plan.

how did Coach go about being on the same. page of the quarterback what do you. expect from you but it was just I was. getting in the building at six in the. morning man and just doing it different. so so you go you first you saw your. first year you kind of learned okay man. what was proud of you going. to Philly what was Mike Vick game. preparation like what was your study. habits like what was it like in Philly. before you in Atlanta when you when you. were the guy in Atlanta what was Mike.

big study happens like um Marco's. demanded because I was in a new system. in the west coast system so I had to. spend some time studying and. understanding what boot the message was. and like what was we trying to really. accomplish on Sundays and so I took a. took a lot of pride in that um we was. able to go to the NFC Championship my. game my first my first year. in this West Coast system. but then it was so easy to get there. the second year I took a step back I. started doing less.

because it was so easy so I got spoiled. I'm like we'll be we'll get back. the year year three in the system 2006. we didn't even make the play we didn't. make the playoffs in 2005 or 2006. I. never got back. and it was all because it was so easy to. get there. um in my first year so My preparation. that year was amazing I studied because. I never wanted to disappoint my coaches. I always wanted them to be proud of me. and always wanted them to know that I. was listening and I was taking heat to.

everything that they were saying tonight. coach if I say I got it I got it. but I could have did a little bit more. right I could have did more as I got. older and I think that's not it's not a. coach job to tell you to do more you got. to do more yeah like I should have. volunteered came to the coach um you. know I'm gonna break down this film. don't break down this tape unless. what year did you break was that. 2005-2006 that you broke your leg in the. preseason that was 2003 2003 okay you. broke your leg in the preseason yeah. broke my leg in the preach so I didn't. finish that season.

um so oh three. I came back at the end of the year right. four games left they fired Dan and then. the next year I had a new system that I. had to learn so I spent two years with. Dan but pretty much right while I played. and then a whole new coaching regimen. came in. had. this dog fighting situation not come up. do you believe Mike Vick was on a Hall. of Fame Arc yes. yes I.

you know I had a situation in. 2006 where I stuck my middle finger up. at the crowd I flicked off the crowd it. wasn't towards our fans it was towards. some saints fans. um that was a big misconception too but. uh you know it seemed like things were. spiraling out of control for me and it. wasn't to chip came not chip I chip. Bobby right Bobby Petrino came in with. Hugh Jackson right. and they was teaching me how to play the. quarterback position for protections I. mean just we was just kind of like.

starting all over the new system right. and uh. he was like man. you gonna be the league MVP this year. and I really felt that way because my. focus was different a lot of my boys. moved out the house he was living. together my life moved in with my. daughter so I was turning the corner. right and it was like I said it was just. too late everything was starting to take. a turn for the worse but uh my that year. we probably would have we would have. went deep in the playoffs. and we definitely um I definitely would.

have you know been on the Hall of Fame. path for sure. you had plans to retire early though did. you. and do what. I don't know that's why I invested the 8. million I'm not gonna sit back and chill. own some property you mentioned that you. had your boys. in the home before you had moved your. wife in with your daughter. what did they break so what would they. tell you I mean obviously brought video. games you like video games they like. video games you play a video game but.

what did it add to Michael Vick's. Football Life. how they they they support their. football players they supported me a lot. like like when I started yeah no but it. was like motivational speeches like man. you need to stop doing this you need to. stop what the hell friend if you ain't. listening. is that what I'm saying bro that's what. I'm saying man my life is one big. misconception people think it was my. boys it was my downfall nah they were. some of my biggest supporters they was.

just in a position where if they go too. hard on me and y'all don't do this yeah. and I hated they felt like they wasn't. even in that situation it's so. unfortunate. but um. and I never looked at it that way I. might have caught an attitude or been a. little upset but I wasn't going to kick. my man to the curb just for telling me. you stopped drinking it yet right I'm. looking at you you come back in 2010 you. pass for 3000 yards 21 touchdown six. interceptions a 70 qbr 62 63 completion.

percentage your comeback Player of the. Year and you go to the Pro Bowl. yeah bro yes Andy Reid was everything. man and he demanded so much out of me. Andy Tech Andy was like um. you know it you know I went through a. lot. two or three years prior and there's a. lot I had on my chest I couldn't go to. my agent right and have a father you. know but my dad wasn't. he was there but I you know I I couldn't. you didn't feel you could talk to him. right right yeah I just needed somebody. to talk to man and like it was like Andy. came my life at the right time I could.

talk to him I could tell him what I can. tell him whatever I wanted to tell him. and get an honest answer right whether I. liked it or not he didn't care whether I. liked it or not either. but he can't. and just to have those conversations it. brought out the best in me I spent more. time in the building. and uh I just I just seemed like damn I. always felt like like so I was still. coaching coach If I Had You. if you'd have drafted me man I know you. had Donovan but if you'd have drafted me. out of went places.

you could end up going to the Steelers. and the fans weren't very happy no uh. Art Rooney the second he said he feel. you had proven himself and you paid your. debt to society yeah and you deserved a. second chance and big Ben and Mike. Tomlin was big advocates for me at the. time too man and then you know sat down. Mr Rooney and Mr Rooney was. you know he he was amazing like that's. truly how he felt he believed in second. chances and uh I never been in a locker. room where guys embraced me so much like.

even being older 35 at the time and. I always tell Mike Tomlin thanks for. that experience and that opportunity to. play one last season right with a good. group of young dudes man who really. cared about football and love the game. while you're in Pittsburgh you played. with a young a b. another a b that what we see now seems. to have a lot of his life expiring out. of control when you were there in. Pittsburgh what did you notice and did.

you know. did you see anything that would give you. like man this dude he needed he needed. to monitor he need to be careful no not. at all man A B was a hard worker he. believed in himself he loved Big Ben. he was in two he was smart understood. the system. um he would just get a little agitated. if he didn't get the ball right I. started for three games and I didn't. Target a b I'll be honest I didn't know. really know a lot about the AFC right. and and I didn't know a lot about. because they're still they had guys.

coming in and out influx and receivers. right Mike Wallace to Manuel said man. you're saying it's like in and out in. and out and so it's this new guy and I. don't know too much about him and I'm so. I'm spraying the ball around my tavius. uh you know Marcus Wheaton I'm trying to. just spread it out. other than him getting a little. aggravated that he didn't get the ball a. b was a great teammate man and I didn't. see I didn't see definitely didn't see. the behavior that I see now. I mean if you could talk to him because.

I thought he had a great situation Tom. Brady went to bat before yeah it's not a. whole lot of quarterbacks gonna go to. bat especially with the kind of behavior. that he's displayed over a period so Tom. Brady goes to bat Bruce Aaron wanted. nothing to do with it because Bruce. Aarons had him in Pittsburgh yeah he. made it the brotherly clear at the. beginning of the season but somehow Tom. Brady talked him into it Tom gold. reaches out hey has him in his home and. the way he handled Tom. that's what I'm most disappointed yeah. look you could be a jerk to a lot of. people I don't think you should be a.

jerk but someone that that reached out. gave you an olive branch picked you up. propped you up yeah you do them like. this yeah that that right there was a. little disturbing to me too because I. know I know him and Tom was on the same. place at one time and uh you know I. believe in loyalty and I believe in. friendships true friendships and I think. they I thought they was creating a bond. he pulled them you know he put him in a. situation where A.D was able to get a. ring yes and shine yeah and uh he turned. his back on him.
