Heard all his interviews yesterday. There's some context left out that may take some weight off this c00n tribunal we're having.
The black balling:
Vick dismissed the idea of a potential political black balling, but made sure to give praise to Kaep's protest last year. He feels Kaep's on-field performance is a major reason, discusses possible difficulties in systems not being tailored. Vick likened Kaep's assumed system troubles with his experience in Pittsburgh, stating it was very difficult adjusting compared to ATL, PHI, and even NYJ years, where systems were more his style. Vick admits he finds it odd Kaep's not even a back up, though.
About Cooper:
He said he saw backing Cooper as a way to position himself a leader, and unite a heavily divided locker-room. Goes on to mention he very much regrets not taking charge and stepping up during the ATL years. He wished he had someone back then to mentor him to be more professional. Goes on to explain how prison made him reflect on missed opportunities (among other things). He recalls how PHI organization put him on the spot during a team meeting to address the issue. He was the first to be called on and without forewarning. He saw took the opportunity.
With that said I'm having a hard time with this one
I felt like there was some reading-between-the-lines shyt to some of his comments, but his refusal to keep it 100 got him lookin crazy. He spent most of the day regurgitating the advice he received to rehabilitate his own image. You can tell. Could've just easily said "Kaep's gonna have to play ball figuratively if he wants to play ball literally," but the hosts would force him to expound and he not about to fukk up his 2nd chance by exposing the scrutiny black QBs go thru, let alone black people.
Not the Mike Vick experience
