"I want to apologize for all the things I've done and all the things I've allowed to happen," Vick, 27, told reporters after entering his plea. "Dogfighting is a terrible thing and I do reject it."

"I take full responsibility for my actions," he said. "What I did was very immature, I need to grow up."
