For anyone who thinks Mike Vick is getting older and maybe lost a step, you better think again. His teammate and running back LeSean McCoy had to find out the hard way yesterday at Eagles practice. McCoy has been challenging Vick for weeks to a race, calling him old man, washed up and all other kinds of trash talk. Seems Like Vick had enough and asked head coach Chip Kelly for permission to race and the coach allowed it. What happened next would be so much better if their was video, but we will take what we can get. Read more about it after the jump.

Hopefully McCoy learned a valuable lesson, respect your elders! With teammates and reporters looking on, Vick smoked McCoy in a 40 yard dash race and beat him by about 5 yards, which in that short of a distance, 5 yards is alot! According to NBC sports Mike Florio, who was on hand at the practice, it went down like this.
McCoy had been riding Vick for weeks, calling him “old man” and challenging Vick to a footrace. Vick had been laughing it off, until today. Today, Vick had enough. So he asked coach Chip Kelly if he could accept McCoy’s invitation. Kelly agreed. So they lined up and took off, and Vick didn’t just beat McCoy. Vick smoked McCoy by roughly five yards over a 40-yard distance, and their teammates went nuts.
Teammamtes went on twitter to confirm, why McCoy seemed to be taking the loss like a baby and tweeted Vick left early, rematch. McCoy who is 24, got schooled by the 32 year old Vick. McCoy is a very quick running back, so the fact Vick beat him so bad should worry NFL teams this season who game plan against Vick. Check out the gallery to see the tweets.
