“The Michael Vick Project” Coming To A TV Near You!

BET and Michael Vick have agreed to do a reality show on Vick’s life after prison called, The Michael Vick Project. Vick told the LA Times Blog:

“I just want people to really get to know me as an individual.  What I want to do is change the perception of me.  I am a human being.  I’ve made some mistakes in the past, and I wish it had never happened.  But it’s not about how you fall, but about how you pick yourself up.”

to-showI am all for second chances, but I feel like a reality show is a step in the wrong direction.  Vick should really be focusing on spending time with his family and playing football.

The spotlight is not the place to be for a heavily scrutinized guy like Vick.  I hope it works out for him, but I don’t see how much good can come from it.  I’m sure he will get paid well for it and that they will make him look like an angel on the show, but this isn’t the time.  I guess now that it’s officially going to happen, all we can do is hope it turns out better than the overly scripted and fake “T.O. Show.”

And for the record, I hope Vick completes his comeback and finds an NFL team that will give him his chance to start again.
