Michael Vick Calls Out Referees


During the press conference following the Eagles loss to the New York Giants Michael Vick brought attention to the referees as well as himself.  Vick has become frustrated and feel that he doesn't get the same calls that other quarterbacks in the league receive.  If you watch the Eagles play its obvious that Vick gets beat up and hit more than other quarterbacks, whether its from the offensive line not doing a good job of protecting him or if defensive players of the opposing teams knowing that they would not receive a roughing the passer flag thrown when going after Vick.

Vick stated, "I don't know why I don't get the call, the 15 yard penalty like other players.  I'm not complaining, I'm just making everyone aware."

The press conference came after Vick left the game with what was thought was a broken hand.  After a CT Scan today it showed that Vick suffered from a bruised hand not a broken hand.  During the game a X-Ray was taken by doctors that showed that Vick may have fractured his hand after a fall he took during the 3rd quarter of last night's game against the Giants, but the CT Scan conducted today showed that what actually looked like a fracture on the x-ray was a blood vessel sitting on top of the bone.  It is uncertain as of now whether Vick will play in this Sunday's game against the 49ers even though the injury occurred to his non-throwing right hand.
