Michael Vick Apology Notes Worth 10,000+

For some people, an apology from NFL quarterback Michael Vick for his role in fighting dogs was priceless.

But to someone, it's worth about $10,000.

The Humane Society of the United States is auctioning off what they say is a piece of paper with a list of six talking points Michael Vick used while making his public apology for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy at the Omni Hotel in Richmond last week.

As of Thursday morning, the paper had already received 77 bids, and was up to a selling price of $10,100.

On his blog, Humane Society of the United States President and CEO Wayne Pacelle says a Humane Society employee found the scrap of paper when he was collecting a microphone after Vick's press conference. The notes, written on Omni Hotel stationery, were near the podium where Vick had made his statement.

It's not clear who scribbled down the notes, Pacelle said.

The paper lists six points, including "Apologize for what I've done," "Take full responsibility for my actions," and "We all make mistakes. I've made mistakes in judgement."

As of Thursday morning, the paper had already received 77 bids, and was up to a selling price of $10,100.

All proceeds from the sale will go to benefit the Humane Society, Pacelle's blog said.

"Whatever money we raise, we'll devote to rooting out the next Bad Newz Kennels," he wrote. "I can think of no better use." The auction closes Sept. 14.
