Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick continues to speak his mind about the mistakes he made that led to his incarceration on federal dogfighting charges while promoting his new book "Finally Free." Vick's media stops on Tuesday included NBC's Today Show and CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight. In the latter interview, he revealed just how much his past misdeeds affected his relationship with his mother. "I lied to my mom," Vick told Morgan. "She really didn't know what was going on. She, I think, had heard just from people word of mouth that I was engaging in illegal activity but she couldn't put a finger on it and nobody else knew." Vick, however, did eventually come clean to his mother, and recalled just how much of a strain his arrest was on his family. "I told her the truth the day I got arraigned. I think my mom cried for four or five days straight, and everybody else around me who loved me and cared about me, because they just didn't think it would go that far — they didn't think I would end up going to prison. It was a dramatic change for everybody's life." Source: Sporting News
