Back to the Dome
Written By Michael Vick December 5, 2009
Going back to Atlanta is going to be a great challenge for our team and I’m excited to get back in the Dome.
To be in the position I’m in right now is truly a blessing. I had some great memories and moments in that arena and I appreciate the Falcons organization for the time we had together. I really don’t know what kind of reception to expect from the fans in Atlanta but I’m excited to get back. I hope they know the appreciation I have for them. Those days in Atlanta are some of my favorite memories.
I really can’t say much for this trip, it’s been a long time coming. I have mixed emotions and I won’t know until I get there and feel the energy in the building. I’m looking forward to speaking to Mr. Blank before the game and seeing some of the familiar faces there. I have a feeling it’s going to be an electric atmosphere.
At the end of the day this trip and game is not about Michael Vick though. It’s about our team trying to improve and compete for a division title. We’re in a great position right now to build on our momentum and make a strong playoff push. That’s really my focus. I just want to play my role and leave Atlanta with a W. But I am excited and I am thankful.
It’s going to be different getting dressed as a visitor, and as for the rest of the hype...I’ll let you know how it goes. Stay tuned!

Happy to be an Eagle

A lot of people want to know how I feel about being back in the NFL and I have to say I really am blessed and fortunate to have this opportunity. Not only did I get a second chance but I couldn’t have asked to be part of a better organization and team. To play for an owner like Mr. Lurie who cares about my success not only as a player but as a person has been great. Coach Reid has been a huge help to me and is an offensive genius. He has help make the Eagles a force in the NFC since I’ve been in the league. Playing behind Donovan has been a learning experience and has really helped me develop as a quarterback.
It’s funny thinking back when I played for the Falcons we were one game away from the Super Bowl and lost to the Eagles. Who knew my career would lead me back here?
It really feels great to be a part of a winning team and I try to play my role to do whatever the team needs to help us win. In football and in team sports you’re only one play away from being “the guy” so you have to prepare like that. But hands down this is Donovan’s team and I’m just happy to play my role.
I would personally like to thank the City of Philadelphia and our fans for embracing me. I hope to be a piece of the puzzle to help bring a championship back to this great city!
I’ll continue to blog and update you guys on what’s going on in my world and I hope you continue to check in and see what’s going on in My Zone…The Michael Vick Zone.

Welcome to the Michael Vick Zone
Written By Michael Vick October 4, 2009
This is my first blog for my new fan website, MichaelVickZone.Com
I wanted to take some time out and let you guys know how excited I am for the launch of my new site. I’ve been through a lot the past couple years and it was really important to me that I reach back out to the people who have supported me through it all and also reach out to those fans who I may have disappointed.
This site is going to be a direct connection into my life on and off the field. You’ll get to see exclusive videos, read my personal blogs, join up as a member, and have access to some exclusive merchandise.
Being away from the game for the past two seasons has really humbled me and I take my responsibility as a role model very serious. I’m blessed to have a second chance to play the game I love and I’ll do everything in my power not to mess that up.
So feel free to come back often and tell your friends and family. Welcome to My Zone…The Michael Vick Zone!
