Michael Vick is giving advice to Ray Rice

If Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice is to repair his image after his domestic violence case he must back up his words with actions, Michael Vick told nj.com.

Vick, who has been fighting a constant battle against public perception after his conviction on dogfighting charges in 2007, has become an animal rights advocate through the Humane Society. He pointed to that as an example of what Rice can do to gain back the public's trust.

"You've got to continue to make amends," Vick told the website. "Once you start something, you can never go back. I feel like I've become an advocate of animal welfare, and I think I have to continue that.

"It's all about keeping kids 15 years from now from doing the same. We've saved a lot of kids, and we've saved a lot of animals. That's how I feel. Ray will make it right. He'll do everything he can to make this situation whole again."

I've never seen any ads or any events with Vick and the Humane Society...volunteering for them was part of his deal...
