Vick cancels Oprah interview

POSTED: Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 5:21 PM

Michael Vick won't be going on Oprah Winfrey's show next week after all.

"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," Vick said in a news release sent out by the Eagles and his personal media relations team.

Earlier today we focused on a big football question: when free agency finally begins, could the Eagles make a play for Nnamdi Asomugha? Team president Joe Banner talked to the press about it, and explained how the Eagles are preparing for an unusual offseason.

    No doubt afraid other guests or the audience might actually ask some non pre=packaged, self-serving, sycophantic, soft ball questions. Terrified possibly have to face one of the surviving victims of his laughing torture & abuse. Handlers couldn't control & contrive the situation sufficiently, terrified of any truly open discussion. Probably for the best...the hypocritical feel-good machine may have blown a gasket and put the Father-Of-The-Coach & weeping, soul-searching (on camera, of course) owner on the spot.

    You know these friggin' Netflix pop-ups self generate? I don't have to click on anything on this dumb website and they reproduce. Talk about that on Oprah.

    Good.. Stop apologizing to people who will never accept your apology anyway. When you get an apology from the ancestors of the slavemasters that brought you here then still dont apologize. All the things Vick did to those dogs those slavemasters did to people and worst and much more. Stop apologizing to these people.. you dont owe them anything.. They are still being paid off of you.. Still benefit MORE from your gifts than you do. And they still murder, lynch, torture and abuse people. Some kid just got lynched in Mississipi not too long ago and this is 2011! Stop apologizing Mike.. You did your time now tell them to kiss your @sh

    No the ignorant fool is the guy who facelessly hides behind a computer screen to indirectly spew his racist spirit. Thats a fool. You want to add reparations to this conversation when i never said anything about reparations. But Jew"ish" people got it and so did other "americans" in that war. When people get locked up for coming to a country..murdering the people there.. Then going to another country to make slaves out of another group of people in order to set up their "civilized society" then you can talk with credibility. Right now you are officially shut down. FOH..

    The Jewish people that got reparations are the ones that suffered in the camps or the direct descendants of those that were tortured, gassed and burned in the ovens. If you find this objectionable to hell with you. People who also had their homes,bank accounts,jewelry and other personal belongings stolen also were compensated. On the other hand Jews who lived in arab lands had everything taken from them and were thrown out of the country never to recover their properties,homes or money. What do you think your race is the only one that suffers. There are now only about 13 million Jews in the world..how many blacks are there
    probably over 100 million. It is a shame that you are so ignorant to the suffering of others and BTW I don't like the way you wrote Jewish...what did you mean by it?

    Jew"ish" = Revelations 2:9 and 3:9.. Do the research. Being Jew"ish" isnt a race. Its a religion. Anybody can be Jew"ish". Your dog can be Jew"ish".

    You can compare what Isrealites have suffered compared to what these so called Jew"ish" people went threw in world war 2. The Nation of people you call "blacks" are Israelites. And we have suffered more than anybody. Between the slave trades till this day our people have been murdered without good reason by Amalek and Esau or Edom. You arent even learned enough to have this kind of conversation with me so go do some reading before you aimlessly filter your undesired OPINION.

    Wow Zeru, you found a way to incorporate Vick's past in w/ historical slavery. I'm sure Vick would shake your hand for using your logic...FYI, your ancestors, like mine, were responsible for bringing slaves over here. Yes they were Black slave owners, AND Blacks that sold Blacks to Whites as a slaves. FYI, this practice goes on today more than ever. Blacks, Whites, Asians, Hispanics all participate and are victims of slavery. How outraged are you about modern-day slavery?...FYI, oppression by one race to another has gone on since the beginning of time, still goes on today, and will continue to happen in the future. Should you or I apologize every time a person of our race does something evil?...point being, NO, despite what some people have said, there is NOT some mysterious evil lurking in the souls of one particular race. Or in layman's terms, there is no such thing as a "White Devil". Evil is an action that is the decision of an individual, not something that is part of ones' DNA (unless there is a mental illness where they can't comprehend right or wrong the way we do)...think that would be common sense.

    @ Fraudisms Speaks... You dont know what the hell you are talking about. At all. Just because a nation of people speak spanish it doesnt not make them of a spanish race or latino race. Sometimes it just means that the conquering occupying country (Spain) forced their customs on a people. Just because I speak English doesnt make me a englishman does it? Before you go around trying to teach someone something.. learn something to first to teach. Dummy.

    Jew"ish" and whites are the ones that funded the slave trades and murdered the natives here. Just like they still go into other countries and murder people for their land's resources. Dont try to correct me because you are way out of your league son. Vick dont have to apologize for stuff that his oppressors still do to this day. FOH
