Please Don't Ask Jim Mora About Michael Vick or Donovan McNabb

Good news: Colin Cowherd had the day off from his radio show. Bad news, at least for fill-in Doug Gottlieb: former Falcons and Seahawks coach Jim Mora wasn't in the best of moods during his interview with Gottlieb, and things got worse (or better depending on your tolerance for awkwardness) the more Gottlieb talked.

Mora, who coached Michael Vick in Atlanta, wasn't all that jazzed to discuss the new Eagles quarterback, and god forbid you ask him how people should feel about Donovan McNabb's return to Philadelphia this weekend.


"Is this your first interview? Jesus Christ, what kind of questions are these?"

Just a guess, but the kind of questions you can expect when you go on a sports talk show?

Whatever, Mora's indignant response broke the unintentional comedy meter, so thanks for that. And as Yahoo.com's Doug Farrar notes, "Which proves one thing beyond a reasonable doubt: When you get Jim Mora the Younger on your radio show, it's a fair bet that some sort of jackassery is soon to follow."
