Michael Vick’s Second Chance

Posted on 29 Dec 2009 by Jason

Michael Vick amassed just 61 total yards in three quarters of action against the Jets. It’s not easy evading linebackers when you have an electronic bracelet on your ankle.

When I first heard that Michael Vick was coming back to the NFL I thought, “Everyone deserves a second chance.” Then I heard rumors the Eagles were going to pick him up. My reaction was, “Say it isn’t so!” When Andy Reid announced Vick was joining the team, I got mad! “Why did it have to be my team, we don’t need the controversy.” Continue reading →

The Who will Rock the Superbowl

Posted on 28 Dec 2009 by Jason

This may be old news to some of you, but I just read today that The Who will be rockin’ the Superbowl halftime show. I think it’s a better choice than last year, but couldn’t they have found an American band to play at our biggest sporting event? Don’t get me wrong, The Who’s music is great, I love it. Why are we forced to import an band from England to play this show?

I’m sure this performance will not distract from the game as much as the infamous, dare I say titillating, Superbreast XXXVIII halftime show. The band chosen should always be family friendly performers. Wouldn’t Daughtry be a much better choice? Maybe he’s not old enough?

Update: My reaction to The Who’s Miniconcert.

Headed For End-of-Season Showdown With Dallas

McNabb is pressured by Elvis Dumervil

Week after week the Eagles try to lose the game. They jump out to an early lead and then let their opponents catch up. Fortunately, they managed a last minute field goal to pull out a win over the Broncos this week. This sets up a great game for the last week of the season!

If the Eagles beat the Cowboys, they win the NFC East and the higher seed in the playoffs. No matter what, both teams are in the playoffs setting up a potential third game between NFC East rivals this year.

The end of the season doesn’t get any better than this! Continue reading →
