That went well.

He's a bitch. The sideline histrionics in the NFCCG proved it.

Well done. And major points earned for the mention of that scene in "Shawshank"

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Agreed.  Mandatory reading for all who violently refuse to root for him.

I cant believe he referenced the fact that Vick had no supporting cast to throw to back then. Simmons needs to stop making sense and writing such good material every chance he gets

Jim Mora being Jim Mora

Gottlieb is a little annoying prick but Mora is equally as big a prick.

Can't wait to see if he comes back and talks to Herd.  Mora is a regular guest.

Very good article, which is the usual for Simmons.  This line especially stood out....

But hey, that's America in the 21st century for you: Extremists tend to favor being extreme over exercising common sense.

If this doesn't sum up this country, then I don't know what does.........be it politics, sports, religion, animal rights, etc, etc. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

They've shown clips of the Vick interview with Mora that will be on NFLN tomorrow morning and it looks pretty damn good.

[MDS]

Thats the best commentry I've read on Vick. Especially the part about people being hypocrites.

[PhillyPhreak54]

This interview with Mora on NFLN is amazing.

I respect him a lot for doing it and coming clean and being brutally honest. Having Mora do the interview gave it a whole different dynamic because of their history.

I hope if you guys missed it they post it on-line. Must watch.

Vick calls prison "the best thing that ever happened to me"
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 3, 2010 11:18 AM ET
As Michael Vick talked to his former Falcons coach Jim Mora about falling from NFL stardom to prison, Mora asked, "What could I have done?"

"There was nothing you could do, Jim," Vick told Mora in an interview on NFL Network. "The best thing for me, that ever happened to me up to this point, as crazy as it may sound, was me being shipped off to [the federal prison in Leavenworth] Kansas. Because other than that, I wasn't going to change. I wasn't going to get all the people away from me that was leeches and wanted to be around. I wasn't going to stop fighting dogs."

Vick said that he wouldn't change his life because, "I was thinking, hey, man, I'm Mike Vick, what's the worst thing that's gonna happen to me?"

Vick told Mora he wouldn't have listened to his coach telling him to change the focus of his life because he wasn't listening to anyone. Vick says he now thinks his federal prison sentence was God's work.

"My mom tried to tell me," Vick said. "In one ear and out the other. There was nothing nobody could have done to change my situation but the man upstairs, who said, 'Listen, before this goes any further, I'm going to take all this away from you for a while.'"

Mora asked how Vick misled his coaches and the whole Falcons organization about his off-field activities.

"My whole life was a lie, Jim -- everything, A to Z," Vick said, adding that he went to his dog-fighting facility in Virginia, "Every week -- every week. . . . I just told you, my whole life was a lie, Jim."
