Michael Vick says he cried in prison.

That will give him something in common with a lot of Eagles fans who feel betrayed by the team’s decision to sign the one-time Pro Bowl standout who went to jail for his role in running a dog-fighting operation.

Vick made the admission last night during a national interview on the CBS weekly news magazine “Sixty Minutes.”

The other people crying at last week’s Vick developments may have been CBS executives.

When word leaked out during Thursday night’s preseason game that Vick had signed with the Birds, CBS already was busy pushing their “exclusive” last night. So much for that.

The network had to put out parts of the piece to get the little bit of leverage left in their “exclusive.”

Of course, I’m fairly confident a ton of people tuned in last night to see Vick explain his actions.

And for his tears.
