QB Vick talking retirement at 36
Michael Vick, who rose to stardom with the Atlanta Falcons before he was sent to prison for running a dogfighting operation, told ESPN on Friday he is retiring from playing in the NFL. The 36-year-old Vick, a dynamic dual threat with speed and powerful left arm, passed for 22,464 yards and 133 touchdowns during 13 seasons with the Falcons, Eagles, Jets and Steelers. His 6,109 career yards rushing are an NFL record by a quarterback. He did not play this past season.
