Although Michael Vick agreed to go on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the notorious NFL quaterback backed out at the last minute. But it wasn’t Vick who canceled the interview but the Philadelphia Eagles. In the interview, Vick was set to reveal his time in prison and work the the Humane Society. But just a day before the interview was scheduled, the Philadelphia Eagles organization expressed their concern.
Vick released a statement saying: “After careful consideration, I will need to postpone the taping of the Oprah Winfrey interview scheduled for February 22nd. I admire and respect Oprah and hope to be able to participate in an interview in the future.”
Despite the cancellation, I wonder if Piers Morgan still paid Oprah?
The men who once called themselves Batman and Robin got into a heated dispute on Twitter over this offseason’s Cincinnati Bengals drama. Chad Ochocinco lashed out at Terrell Owens for being blamed for Carson Palmer asking to be traded or he would retire.

In the heated exchange, Ochocinco told TO, “Man its your f*&ing fault m QB is retiring, I should whoop our ass cause the blaming me.” TO called Ochocinco’s play out even reffering to the super hero nicknames, “Where was Robin all year?”
… No time for compliments Robin.
