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 January, Palmer told the Bengals organization he wanted out after spending his entire career with the team. After professing themselves as the Super Bowl favorite, the Bengals went a disappointing 4-12.
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.

It looks like the producers of Live! With Regis and Kelly are looking to expand their audience. Co-host Regis Philbin announced his retirement after this season, and Fox NFL analyst Michael Strahan has emerged as a possible replacement for the 80-year old veteran.
According to Pro Football Talk, “Philbin has been Strahan’s close friend, Rich “Big Daddy” Salgado of Coastal Advisors, posted a message on Twitter over the weekend claiming that Strahan is a candidate. If Strahan truly is a candidate, Salgado would know.”
The Super Bowl winner goes up against other candidates, Anderson Cooper, Josh Duhamel and Nick Lachey, who are rumored to replace Philbin who has been hosting the show since 1982. If Regis has anything to say about his replacement, he will be a Notre Dame fan.
It looks like Oprah won that wager… back in January, Oprah and Piers Morgan bet on which interviewer could land the notorious quaterback first, and O won. Michael Vick will appear on The Oprah Winfery Show this Thursday.
The tell-all will cover Vick’s time in prison, his work with the Humane Society and return to the NFL. Te interview with air Feb. 22.
