“No one wants to hear that now.”
Michael Vick says Myles Garrett screwed up his explanation for his helmet-swinging attack on Mason Rudolph … saying MG’s racism accusations were a day late and a dollar short.
“He should have just said it from the beginning,” the NFL legend tells TMZ Sports … “Now, it’s like everybody pointing fingers. No one wants to hear that now.”
As we previously reported … Garrett says the reason he lost his mind on Rudolph in the Steelers-Browns brawl earlier this month is because the Pittsburgh QB hurled a racial slur at him.

But, Garrett didn’t make that claim until DAYS after the fight … and Vick says that was a mistake on the NFL superstar’s part.
By the way, Rudolph has ADAMANTLY denied Garrett’s allegations … calling them “totally untrue.”
As for Rudolph’s punishment for his role in the melee … Vick says he’s just fine with the league hitting the guy with a $50,000 fine.
“At the end of the day, hopefully everybody learned from this,” Vick said.
