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.
