The Today Show Confuses Michael Vick for Another Black QB on Eagles (Video)

by Robert Littal | Posted on Tuesday, July 17th, 2012

Of course all black quarterbacks look-alike so when NBC decided to get some B0Roll footage of Michael Vick practicing they failed to notice that the Eagles had more than one black quarterback in camp at the time this footage was taken.

So, while Vick is talking about redemption and his new book, the video is showing Jerrod Johnson. Even worse than showing the wrong quarterback, the footage is from 2011 and Johnson isn’t even on the Eagles anymore (he is on Steelers roster).

Just lazy journalism on their part.

H/T to Deadspin for video.
