Remember when Michael Vick publicly apologized in front of the nation for his part in that dogfighting ring that was being run out of his house. Well, it turns out that he walked off and left more behind than simply his freedom, livelihood and dignity. Apparently, he left behind the cheat sheet he needed to remind himself of what he was sorry for.

An employee from the Humane Society of the U.S. actually found Vick's notes on the podium and they are now being auctioned off on eBay as a means of raising money to help put an end to animal cruelty. Take that Michael! The scrap of paper opened on the virtual market for a measly $20 bucks and has since skyrocketed up over $10,000! Here's what 10 grand buys nowadays:

According to the eBay ad, Vick allegedly used the following notes to remember key points while making his public apology:

"Apologize for what I've done

Apologize comissioner (sic), AB [Falcons owner Arthur Blank], [Bobby] Petrino, ashamed, dissapointed (sic)

Young kids I acted immat.

Forgiveness + understanding

Take full responsibility for my actions

We all make mistakes

I've made mistakes in judgment"

Then, jotted into the lower right-hand corner of the paper it says, "Dogs have suffered.

Wait, Vick actually needed to jot down that "dogs have suffered"?!?! What's worse is that he didn't even make it a priority; he crammed it in at the last minute in the corner. Isn't the fact that dogs have suffered the most fundamental reason why he's in the situation he's in? We think it's pretty safe to say that if you have to write notes to yourself that remind you are "ashamed," "disapointed" (be proud VT) and "take full responsibility for my actions" then you are probably neither ashamed, disappointed nor take full responsibility for your actions.
