PFT: McCoy challenges “old man” Vick to race, and gets smoked

[art vandelay]

the last thing i'm going to base my opinion off a coach off of is whether or not he lets teammates race each other.

[Dolomite]

Not me I think its fine. Looks like they were just having some fun. They're athletes and athletes are competitive. Vick is very fast i assume Vick or Jackson are the fastest players on the team. Vicks problem isn't running its putting the ball on the ground or throwing it to the other team.

[Eagle In Ohio]

Yup

Sarcasm is lost amongst most bro

Right over their heads like a Tony Romo pass in December.

[The Ref]

You folks do realize that McCoy does not have great straight line speed don't you? I think he ran a 4.5 at his combine. Not surprised Vick beat him.

Bryce a brown is the team's back with great speed, not McCoy. McCoy is shifty, not fast. BWest was faster too.

Bwahaha love it

Eskin reporting..Tomorrow's race: Peters v Jackson.

[Maniac]

Duce vs. Harry!

[Big Little]

Your god forbid there is some actual competition on the team.

Chip, what a stupid highschool football coach that guy is

Cuntboys fans wish FF would have been our coach for the rest of their lives, just like we wish Romo was their QB for the rest of our lives.

Another hypersensitive Kelly fan. You guys are pathetic. A foot race between Vick and Shady is actual competition? Anyway I doubt any coach would care as long as it was good natured.

Id be more interested in Vick vs Dixon or Foles vs Barkley.

[Big Little]

Haha Foles vs Barkley

That would be awesome

Eagles safety Colt Anderson has posted the basic details on Twitter: quarterback Mike Vick and running back LeSean McCoy raced in practice on Thursday, and Vick won.

But there’s more to the story, which we’ve obtained from a league source with knowledge of the situation.

McCoy had been riding Vick for weeks, calling him “old man” and challenging Vick to a footrace. Vick had been laughing it off, until today.

Today, Vick had enough. So he asked coach Chip Kelly if he could accept McCoy’s invitation. Kelly agreed.

So they lined up and took off, and Vick didn’t just beat McCoy. Vick smoked McCoy by roughly five yards, and their teammates went nuts.

It has no direct relevance to the fate of the 2013 Eagles, but it proves that the “old man” can still move, which is bad news for any defense facing him this year.

YEAH NOW IF VICK THE Q.B. COULD LEARN HOW TO READ A DEFENSE MAYBE MAY HAVE SOMETHING. HE WILL BE THE SAME OL FALCONS Q.B. HE EVER WAS. SUCKS.

gotts love all the negative spin on this

Vick winning a footrace with Shady is horrible news. If Vick had lost, it would show him to be aging and how the injuries had piled up. If he had declined, it would have shown him to be a poor leader and afraid to take on a challenge. That Chip Kelly even allowed this to happen meant that he's already lost the team and is allowing a circus. Now Vick has to think, because if he doesn't than his brother will probably remind him and everyone else on twitter, he's still a good athlete and can win games by himself.

This race and its outcome has already spelled the end to the 2013 season.

Exactly

God forbid there's some spirited competition on this team. A foot race- what a disgrace. Obviously a precursor to a 3-13 season. Rumor has it Bryce Brown challenged Foles to a Paper-Rocks-Scissors duel.

This thread is ridiculous. All we need is Barbara Walters and this would be a great discussion for The View.
