Jonathan Vilma - one of the classier and more media-savvy players to suit up for Gang Green in some time - is probably not the guy you'd expect to come out in defense of Michael Vick and Pacman Jones.
But that's exactly what Vilma did yesterday, joining WFAN's Chris "Mad Dog" Russo on the radio in order to promote his youth football camp. Early in the interview, Russo steered the conversation toward the NFL's recent player conduct controversies, and what followed were some of the dumber comments you'll hear from a professional athlete.
Original Story:
i dunno, call me crazy, but i don't really see how vilma's comments were that dumb. i also don't think that portis' comments were so crazy. i think portis was largely saying that dog fighting happens all over the place and people making a big deal about mike vick - cops having an interest in this awful dog fighter - is a little weird when he's seen plenty of fighting in his life. and that it seems a little odd that no media and no cops seemed to give a crap about all that brutalization, but they care a lot about it in vick's case. - i don't think those thoughts are so crazy....
