It's the middle of July, so it's understandable that the producers at NBC are a little rusty on their football knowledge, right? Right?!? That's got to be the only explanation for the clip above from this morning's The Today Show, in which Michael Vick is interviewed on air, while practice footage of Jerrod Johnson appears on the screen. Unless Vick and Today are running some kind of elaborate misdirection play on us. Because it couldn't be that producers at a major network can't tell the difference between two black quarterbacks who throw with different arms.
