James Brown Gets First Interview With Vick

If you’d have asked me who would win the very first interview with Michael Vick, I wouldn’t have said James Brown. But Brown was persistent and kept visiting him in prison and during home confinement. I guess Vick began to trust Brown, and thus felt comfortable telling his story.

Brown insists that this comfort isn’t going to make him any less the journalist, however. Vick sat down with Brown on Monday in an interview that will “air Sunday on 60 Minutes.” If you’re planning on watching, Tony Dungy and Wayne Pacelle (head of the Humane Society) will sit in on the interview as well.
Vick is expected to talk about “how many nights he cried in prison when he realized the error of his ways.” Maybe this interview will help people realize he’s done his time and to just let him be for now?
