Michael Vick And the Bounty Ball

Michael Vick has had trouble holding onto the football, as we know. So, he decided to tuck one under his arm and take it everywhere he went for part of the week.

“Just to get a feel of for the pigskin,” said Vick. “Not to put too much emphasis on it, but to continuously remind myself that I have to take care of the football.

“Breakfast, to the meetings. Everybody thought it was funny but I didn’t. That’s how much I care about this team, that’s how much I care about our success and winning on Sundays. I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that I take care of my responsibilities.”

Eagles Wake-Up Call: Birds Use Slow-Moving No-Huddle
