Michael Vick is fleet of foot on the field, and apparently he talks a good game off it, too.

According to a story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Vick has taped phone messages that have gone out to all Atlanta Falcons season ticketholders. The message?

"Hi, this is Mike Vick, quarterback of your Atlanta Falcons. As I'm sure you know, we've got a big game this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. We already beat them once in their house, and I'm sure my cousin (New Orleans quarterback) Aaron Brooks is going to be looking for revenge. That's why we need the 12th man out there making some noise at the Georgia Dome, cheering us on."

The newspaper says season ticketholders liked the message.

"I love it," said Tim Santelli, an Atlanta attorney. "It's great Mike wants to do this."

Falcons spokesman Aaron Salkin said Vick liked the idea.

"This," Salkin said, "might be one of the few unsolicited phone calls people don't mind getting."
