Eagles safety Colt Anderson has posted the basic details on Twitter: quarterback Mike Vick and running back LeSean McCoy raced in practice on Thursday, and Vick won.

But there’s more to the story, which we’ve obtained from a league source with knowledge of the situation.

McCoy had been riding Vick for weeks, calling him “old man” and challenging Vick to a footrace. Vick had been laughing it off, until today.

Today, Vick had enough. So he asked coach Chip Kelly if he could accept McCoy’s invitation. Kelly agreed.

So they lined up and took off, and Vick didn’t just beat McCoy. Vick smoked McCoy by roughly five yards over a 40-yard distance, and their teammates went nuts.

It has no direct relevance to the fate of the 2013 Eagles, but it proves that the “old man” can still move, which is bad news for any defense facing him this year.

one of the most freakish athletes the NFL has ever seen. But you know....

That would be a pretty sweet story if it involved anybody else but Vick.

He can be forced to drown for all I care.

Vick ran like he was being chased by a pit bull....

You own a pitbull...?

Agreed. The people who say "He's atoned for his crimes" may be correct, but it takes a certain kind of person to do shit like that to dogs. In my mind he is and always will be a scumbag.

This completely. If he had just been fighting them its bad enough, but what he did to injured dogs is beyond forgiveness from me. Others are free to do as they will.

Don't be hatin' bro.

I always pull for him and the Eagles have become my second favorite team.

I exhibit compassion.

He served his time dude. Let him alone.

If only Vick had some talent between his ears........

Well, im hated anyways, so I might as well put this here. I have two cats. Now, i know that in Asia, they eat cats. I also was born in North Carolina, on a military base, where i spent my summers working in Tobacco fields for money.

I also know this. Dog fighting is RAMPANT down there. So, admittedly, it shocked me far less than most, and I dont condone it, and it makes me sick, but to the people who said that he grew up in it, and it was second nature to him, while sick, and vile, I give it some merit. I never did though until I was deployed and talked to some Iraqis, who stated that while what the extremists were doing was wrong, they understood that a lot of them didnt know it to be wrong, because that is how they were brought up.

Shrugs. Its not always black and white. there is unfortunately, a lot of GRAY.....

Well said. I for one, am more discusted by people that kill other people..

I'd be so much more excited for the season if we had Vick instead of Smith.

sighs.......yeah, and alex is known as a guy who cant stay healthy, yet you want this injury prone, turnover machine. Good call.

Thats Racism flat out !

ROFL

Vick has started more than 10 games 6 times in his career. Alex Smith has only done it twice. Vick has a 2.8 INT%. Alex Smith has a 2.9 INT%. Vick has averages 1 fumble every 9 rushes. Alex Smith averages 1 fumble every 5 rushes.

Vick would be worth 50 bucks to go see, but he would piss everyone off with his play.

I know Im in the majority here, but I think all pit bulls should be drowned.

Sent in a mindfield. BOOOM

I was never that mad about Vick.

It was a part of a culture he grew up in. I don't expect the middle to upper middle class ChiefsPlanet white person to understand that.

I don't think that makes him a bad person.

Vick made a mistake, and paid for it. If you don't like the culture, do something to help change it. I don't get all the Mike Vick hate. I guess it's just the in thing these days.

of course I'm also not a dog lover so I know that plays a part in to why I was never really that mad

I find dog fighting appalling but in some cultures (like Mexico for instance) it's fine...

people like Vick who grew up in the ghetto weren't privileged to all of the education, knowledge and common sense people like the average CP'er have

that's why all of these 'dipshits' go broke right away...they just aren't smart people

Vick smoked that dawg...

Was Vick faster, in his prime, than RGIII?

Yes

Yup.

There are clips with him as a Falcon just blowing through holes where DBs had the angle on him and just couldn't close up.

He may have been the fastest player in the NFL at the time. His acceleration was just incredible.

Don Henley once sang about forgiveness....

This

He sang about boys of summer as well but I'm not sure if he even cares about the NBA.

People fight dogs all of the ****ing time and don't go to federal prison for it.

I am not in favor of cruelty to animals obviously, no one is.

But I found the media frenzy around Vick to be a bit curious. Almost all the time, people are free to do with their livestock whatever they choose. You shouldn't put them down in a cruel way, but lets be honest, the animals that become the meat we consume aren't exactly killed by lethal injection.

Why are dogs special? If we afford what approaches human life protection to this animal why not others?

(Of course, these were living dogs. You wonder if Kermit Gosnell had done what he did to dogs if he'd be in the newspapers at all, instead of being a non-story)

anyway, I despised Vick before and after the prison stint he did. But I am not sure that if his name were Cooter McCoy from Gator's Taint Ga running a dogfighting operation if he'd have ever spent a day in the big house.

In the United States, around nine billion animals are slaughtered every year for our food. That's okay, though. Cows don't have personality.

I assume all of the people up in arms and unforgiving to Vick are all vegan.

What is your problem?

You know how ignorant you sound don't you? What I'm seeing from you and others is that you are reacting the same way you reacted to the Boston Marathon bomber who killed and injured human beings to Vick who fought dogs, or rather animals. So what I'm getting is you think animals and humans are on the same level. And that has to be the most ignorant thing on the face of the planet.

You know what? This is almsot akin to that Trevon Martin BS that went on. The one where all those people wore that "I am Trevon Martin" apparel trying to make a nonexistent statement about nothing. This is similar because apparently you think your pet(s) are those same ones he used and therefore you hate him because he killed and injured your pet(s). I mean good lord. Go find a soap box and stand on it for eternity speaking to the other nutjobs.

because he hasn't suffered enough for killing an animal?

So Mike Vick should play HB because he sucks at quarterbacking.

Vick is one of the most gifted athletes to ever play the game. No one can deny.

The guy could go from zero to full tilt in the blink of an eye.

I'd say it's Primetime then Vick. Anyone think otherwise?

Are we talking speed, quickness, or accleration?

Uhhhh....crap I didn't think that in depth. Let's say speed and quickness.

I don't know. They both look like juiced Tecmo Super Bowl players on the field.


I will call them 1A and 1B in no particular order.

At the end Vick would have been caught from behind. Primetime however was never caught in his prime.

Hmmmm....I'll take Sanders.

And you exhibit fifty shades of it

What a bunch of bitchez

Seriously?

and your wouldn't? You're all hopped up on Alex Myth goofballs?

Vick is done.

Vick wasn't running in a straight line and he has just been slowed down by the two guys who ran into each other.

If he hadn't been running a dogfigthing/gambling ring though multiple states, thus making a federal case of it, he wouldn't have gone to federal prison.

The disturbing thing to me was all of the torture. I mean breeders cull puppies, usually by drowning. Every person who owns a pure-bred dog has passively accepted this practice. Throwing them against concrete walls and electrocuting them for the lulz is kinda ****ed up.

meh, he's still better than your guy.

No different than 'cockfighting'.

I hope when you meet your maker, he forgives you like you have forgiven Vick. What he did was wrong but man get over it.

It doesn't matter, this year is going to be vick's last. He was never smart enough, now he's breaking down physically. I'd rather have smith.

If you don't know the difference between a chicken and a dog.

Who says our "maker" is forgiving?

You're right. My bad. Sorry Vick!

:hmmm: He probably meant his Maker. Which consequently makes Him your Maker. And he's mine too.

This thread is full of bleeding heart vags.

Vick in Madden 04......that is what I will remember him for.

Vick or Smith? In retrospect and with no QB drafted.......Vick. All goddamned day.
