Vick did not do his best in Atlanta

With his status for 2010 season still remaining a big question mark, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick recalled some old days when he was playing for the Atlanta Falcons. And his comment was: I was somewhat lazy.

“I think if I woulda applied myself,” Vick said, “there was a lot more I could have done off the field and also in the film room that could have elevated my game to a totally different level. I was complacent at the time, somewhat lazy, and I kinda settled for mediocrity.”

What he said was really somewhat surprising. Vick, actually, had many accomplishments with the Falcons, including leading the first visiting team to win a playoff game at Lambeau Field in 2002. Well, as he admitted he may never perform with his 100 percent, what did he learn after putting on NFL jersey again to join the Eagles following his incarceration? There is hardly anything as Vick did not even get a chance to start a game, let alone nay accomplishment.

Michael Vick’s bankruptcy plan got approved Thursday

On Thursday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro approved Michael Vick’s $20M bankruptcy plan. The Judge ordered Vick to retain a financial planner as a condition of approval.

The plan was supported overwhelmingly by a ballot of creditors and by their representatives in court. It hinges on Vick liquidating an estimated $9 million in assets, including houses, boats and high-end sport utility vehicles and future NFL earnings. However, the quarterback does not have to pay creditors during his first year with the Eagles. He could pay creditors the $20M within six years.

“I’m happy it’s over. I can move on with my life,” said Vick, who was beaming as he left the courthouse. “I think my lawyers did a great job. I commend the judge. I commend the creditors’ committee, everybody. We finally got it all together. I’m just happy we can move forward.”

Vick left the courthouse in a hurry afterwards to prepare for his Eagles debut later in the night.
