Appearing on the “Dan Patrick Show” Thursday morning, the former Falcons quarterback was asked if he ever apologized to defenders. Vick said yes, and explained himself a bit more.
Patrick then asked him to clarify that he actually held back, and Vick responded, “Yeah. But we was probably up by 20, 30 points, so there was reasoning for it.”
While it’s always proper etiquette in the NFL to not bury your opponents, it’s still upsetting we were robbed of seeing more of the Michael Vick Experience. Although to be fair, he could be referring to playing in high school or college rather than the NFL.

In addition to apologizing to defenders, Vick also said on the program he was “truly sorry” for comments he made about Colin Kaepernick. The retired quarterback said Kaepernick should get rid of his afro, and was met with heavy controversy.
Considering the amount of negative feedback Vick received, it’s no surprise he’s decided to back off from his initial statements.
