PS, I'm pretty sure the entire show is available, although in segments, here.
You're going to have to click on each segment because it won't autoplay. The order is:
-Vick puts his name on the map at Virginia Tech
-A runner and a passer in one body
-Vick pleads guilty to dogfighting charges
-Vick gets a second chance
-Vick gives back to the community

- Matt Schaub as Mike's backup saying something or other about how he would hate to have to be the QB and fill those shoes
I just have to add my personal favorite part

Watched this last night. Nothing short of just an awesome documentary. So happy Michael Vick represents VT the way he does. If a better example of getting a second chance and making the most of it is out there, then I have yet to see it.

I always fly a VT flag on game day, and one of my neighbors (a Michigan fan who doesn't know much about VT) always asks about the program. Recently, he told me he golfed with someone who is a fan of "our rival"-- which was turns out to be UVa -- and that guy told my neighbor that "VT's most important graduate is Michael Vick, the dogfighting guy". It just reminded me that there will always be an asshat UVa fan who will try and poison your neighbor against your team.
In Michael Vick's case, I love that he turned it around. It's a great story of redemption. Vick put VT's program on the map, and he's a very positive representative of the program now. He put himself out there and made a comeback.
I'm glad he also comes around during training camp and talks to the current players.

Thank you for posting this! I was unaware it was debuting tonight.
Yeah and Frank is in it!
Beamer features!
It has a couple quotes from Frank. It also has some airtime for Ingrid Newkirk, president of PETA, who is an absolutely infuriating nutter butter.

I watched that playoff game vs the Pack with my dad. Tremendous. Keion Carpenter picked off Brett Favre in that game too.
So just like the Bleacher Report one haha.

It's a bit maddening that the Youtube versions aren't better organized, but I found most of them:

Just watched. Great story of his life. Weird seeing the word "former" in front of Coach Frank Beamer. Also I really hate that lady from PETA.
I wonder what to make of the ending where they showed all the people who declined to interview.
Thanks for mentioning this -- it's a great story.

Frank put VT's program on the map. Vick circled it.
This! So much this.
