PM SPORTS: VICK RE-SIGNS WITH NIKE







WOW!!! I didn't expect this to happen this soon.

Michael Vick is back with Nike more than two years after the company severed ties over the quarterback's involvement in a dogfighting ring.

The managing director of the agency that represents Vick announced the deal Wednesday while participating on a panel at the Sports Sponsorship Symposium. Michael Principe of BEST referred questions to Vick's agent, Joel Segal, who did not return calls from The Associated Press.
Segal told SportsBusiness Journal that the agreement involves shoes and apparel but would not reveal terms.

Vick joined the Philadelphia Eagles after serving 18 months in federal prison. He played his first regular season game since December 2006 on Sunday.

Nike, which signed Vick as a rookie in 2001, terminated his contract in August 2007 after he filed a plea agreement admitting his involvement in the dogfighting ring. (AP)
