From AP:

A television writer and producer paid $10,200 for what an animal rights group said are notes from football star Michael Vick’s speech apologizing for a dogfighting scandal.

Carol Leifer made the winning bid for the notes sold by the Humane Society of the United States. Leifer is a writer and co-executive producer of Rules of Engagement, a CBS comedy.

The Humane Society auctioned them off after an HSUS employee “found the notes when he retrieved his microphone from the hotel podium where Vick delivered his apology Aug. 27.”
