Eagles quarterback Michael Vick did not have a good day today.
First, he broke his non-throwing hand in a 29-16 loss to the New York Giants. He left the game and was replaced by backup Mike Kafka, who was unable to lead the Eagles’ offense to any points.
Then after the game, Vick called out the refs in his postgame interview. This is what he said:
“I was trying to protect myself,” Vick said in his postgame news conference. “Still didn’t get a flag and that’s pretty much been the story for the last three weeks. I mean, obviously at some point something catastrophic is going to happen and I broke my hand.
“Looking at the replays, I’m on the ground every time, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t frustrated,” Vick said in his postgame news conference. “The refs have got to do their jobs. And I mentioned it to the refs in training camp when I talked to them. I’m on the ground constantly, all the time. Every time I throw the ball, I’m on the ground. And I don’t know why I don’t get the 15-yard flags like everybody else does.”
I love that Vick had the audacity to make those comments because I think it’s true. If Tom Brady was getting hit as much as Vick, you know the refs would be throwing flags.
However, I do think that he will be fined for his remarks.
