I do think Vick is genuinely sorry for his actions, as opposed to being genuinely sorry he got caught. By all accounts, he was great to have in Eagles locker room. Vick seemed to want to be part of a team, and not have it all be about him.
On a more personal note, Vick was on his way to the Tidewater area several years ago and had a flat tire across from a local body shop. He asked for help at the shop and they went across the road to fix his tire. Vick was recognized and got the usual requests for autographs and pictures. The shop people went out of their way to note how gracious, grateful, and accomodating he was.
In 2005 I was at the Maryland/Virginia Tech football game shortly after Katrina. Maryland marching band members with 5-gallon buckets (I kid you not) were making their way through the crowd taking donations for post-Katrina cleanup. Michael Vick was there to watch his younger brother Marcus against the Terps. One of the co-eds saw Vick and approached him, asking if he'd like to make a donation. He replied "sure", pulled all the bills from his wallet, and tossed them into the bucket where they landed with an audible thump. She thanked him and, her curiosity getting the better of her, went around the corner to just how much he'd given--$1,500.00. Not bad for a rival QB.
