Michael Vick had a busy week last week.  Before police found extensive evidence of dog-fighting and other animal cruelty on his property in Virgina, he had already "skipped a congressional breakfast he'd been invited to earlier in the week on Capitol Hill to discuss federal funding for urban football facilities."  This is in addition to January's secret-container for marijuana airport fiasco.  And before that, flipping the bird to fans.  And before that, the herpes thing.

Well, after talking to NFL commish Roger Goodell at the draft, Vick stated that he sees the error of his ways, and he's going to make changes in his life.

"I'm taking it upon myself and giving everybody my word that things are going to get changed around," Vick said. "Things are going to get turned around. I have a game plan for it. … The company I keep, a lot of things [have] got to change, and I mean that from the heart."

This is terrible news for us sports bloggers who depend on the Vick family for light-hearted police-related news.  Bad news also for With Leather assistant editor Kevin, who had a couple C-notes on Little Marcus Vick at next week's action at the family's animal-fighting compound.
