Mike Pereira, the former NFL VP of Officiating and current FOXSports.com analyst, didn't take kindly to Michael Vick (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/235253)'s comments earlier this week suggesting that officials were quick to protect some quarterbacks more than others.
Of course, Vick, the Eagles (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/page/PHI) QB, made these observations shortly after getting roughed up by the Giants (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/page/NYG).
