Michael Vick has been franchised by the Eagles. He is going to make somewhere between 16-20 million dollars, if there is a season next year.
I can see the wheels turning in his head, if he went on Oprah and said the wrong thing. He doesn’t want to mess up his money, so he released this statement.
“After careful consideration, I will need to postpone the taping of the Oprah Winfrey interview scheduled for February 22. I admire and respect Oprah and hope to be able to participate in an interview in the future.”
Smart move, it could have been benefical for him, but it also could have went horribly wrong, no need to chance it. He has his money, he has his starting job and is getting his life back on track.
Lay low and work on being a better quarterback, that should be his focus right now.
