Vick Gives Back

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has teamed up with the United Way to donate $10,000 to assist families affected by the massacre at Virginia Tech, his former school.

“When tragic things like this happen, families have enough to deal with, and if I can help in some small way, that’s the least I can do,” said Vick, who played for the Hokies before being drafted No. 1 overall by the Falcons in 2001.

Vick’s foundation said the money will be used to provide help with funeral expenses, transportation for family members and other support services.

Wow, $10,000 out of his $20 million dollar contract. I'm impressed he was willing to donate a half of one percent to his former school. He probably would have donated more if he didn't have to pay for herpes medication, pot, and pot storage containers. Did Vick make the donation or did Ron Mexico. I hate F'N athletes. If Warrick Dunn went to VT, they would have received at least a million for it.

SNL should have used Vick in the old "you could put your weed in there" skit. Would be classic. Should have had Peyton Manning black face and do it.
