Nike: Just did it by resigning Vick

This is really good for Vick. I am glad that Nike is giving hom another shot. I know there are some that believe that Michael Vick does not deserve a second chance. I am glad that Nike is giving him another chance. In this situation, everyone wins eventually.

The Michael Vick comeback story has come full circle.

Nearly four years after he was dumped by Nike, the Eagles quarterback was re-signed for promotional services by the worldwide leader in sports sneakers and apparel, according to the company.

"We have re-signed Michael Vick as a Nike athlete," spokesman Derek Kent said Friday. "Michael acknowledges his past mistakes. We do not condone those actions, but we support the positive changes he has made to better himself off the field."

The deal, the exact details of which are unknown, is believed to be the first for a major athlete who was dropped by an endorser only to be re-signed later.

Vick did not respond to a text message seeking comment, but he released a statement.

"I am thrilled to be on the Nike roster," Vick said. "The brand represents the most exciting athletes in sports. My focus is now on preparing for the football season and performing at the highest level for my team and my fans."
