Yeah, I heard that too and thought "What the hell? Did he just say spring training?"

And I think Vick hired him just to give more press to The Bronx is Burning

I think it's sad that when I heard that, I immediately thought "AA is going to be all over that."

That is horrible. Seriously, that's like calling the ump in baseball "the ref." What an assbag.

LOL this reminds me of bobby bowden. he constantly refers to spring practice as "spring training."

Where is the vid of Vick at a nightclub or something and being asked a question...

What was the word he didn't know...can't remember what it was...can't find it on the youtubes.

Vick hired this guy because Vick is illiterate.

With any luck, he may be able to get in just after pitchers and catchers report.

HW...

Let's try that again.

Anon, at least when Bobby B. calls it spring training it's actually taking place IN THE SPRING!

Seriously, did anyone actually SEE the press conference. The "Spring Training" reference came from Vick's lawyer, not Vick himself. Up to that point, Vick's lawyer was reading Vick's prepared statement. After that, when the lawyer said "Spring Training", the lawyer was ad-libbing on his own.

Check out this post: http://ps201blog.typepad.com/mickey_mantles_liver/2007/07/john-kincade-is.html for a better explanation.

Watch the video again....

Dude...didn't I make that clear in the first paragraph?

And no way was that an ad-lib...he's reading off the sheet until the very end. I'll try to get the video up for everyone to give their own opinion.

no he isn't. Look at it again. He is reading, reading, reading, then Billy Martin looks up and starts talking about how Vick wants to get to "spring training" and how Vick has played football his entire life.

Billy Martin made the gaffe, not Vick. Doesn't take much to figure that out.

Shouldn't come as any surprise, I'm sure Billy Martin was drunk when he said it.

Just watch, Martin is reading the statement, and then looks up and continues talking and never returns to the prepared statement. That is when Martin, not Vick, referred to training camp as "Spring Training".

Which is ironic that a guy named Billy Martin made a gaffe using the phrase "Spring Training".

Commonsense,

The guy reads "I also want to apologize to my Falcon teammates for not being with them at the beginning training", then after finishing the fake release he continues "as you know, Michael..."

Does the lawyer play for the Falcons? No. Obviously he was supposed to be reading a statement by Vick, and obviously that statement was written by the ill-informed lawyer.

Use your commomsense when reviewing the tape.

Come on, his f'ing name is BILLY MARTIN. Of course it was a baseball reference that snuck its way into the statement.

Also, Jackie Chiles called, and he wants his wardrobe back.
