Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles
DESTROY the Washington Redskins
on Monday Night Football.

11/18/2010

It was Donovan McNabb that was the problem why the Philadelphia Eagles could not win a superbowl over the last decade, and not head coach Andy Reid. It is becoming clearer by the week that was the case. Who knew that Andy Reid would take Michael Vick and turn him into the offspring of Peyton Manning and a Cheetah. Who knew that the Eagles Offense from Desean Jackson down to the offensive line would pickup their game a little more each week to become a powerhouse of the NFC. I'm not sure of any defensive coordinator that wants to play the Eagles right now. 59 to 28 was the final score and it wasn't even that close. Michael Vick and Andy Reid once again get a hats off to them for being stars "In the Red Zone".

Vick 2.0 and the Eagles Defeats Peyton Manning's Colts

11/09/2010

1. Michael Vick, PHI 105.3
2. Vince Young, TEN 103.1
3. Philip Rivers, SD 102.9
4. David Garrard, JAC 98.8
5. Peyton Manning, IND 96.1

In what is considered one of the most remarkable turnarounds in all of pro-football, the 'running quarterback' Michael Vick has been turned into a well rounded weapon by Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid and Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg.

Much praise has to be given to the coaches in this scenario as well as Michael Vick's own determination. It has been said he has been studying tape, working many extra hours, and putting in 110% effort into everything he is doing. His close friendship with Kevin Kolb (the Eagles other starting quarterback) is nothing but sheer professionalism. Vick supporters have been growing in droves and it has made the Eagles a very fun team to watch this season.

In the Red Zone has to take their hats off to Michael Vick, who has been superior 'In the Red Zone'. Well done to everyone in the Eagles Organization, especially when they were completely attacked for releasing their franchise quarterback, Donovan McNabb to the rival NFC East Redskins.

Chalk one up for Coach Andy Reid.....Michael Vick (AND Kevin Kolb) couldn't be much better, and Donovan McNabb has been at the bottom of the barrel in ratings for the Washington Redskins, including many losing drives at the end of the game for which he was known for.


Pats, Kraft, Belichick sued for $100M
Former Ram seeks compensation for Super Bowl loss


2/15/2008
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A lawsuit filed Friday by a former St. Louis Rams player and a few others seeks millions of dollars in damages from the alleged taping of Rams practices by the New England Patriots right before the 2002 Super Bowl.

The claims are that the taping of those practices led to the the Patriots winning the game 20-17 in the Superdome unfairly.

The $100 million suit, filed on behalf of former Rams player Willie Gary in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, names the Patriots, team owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick.


T.O. Sheds Tears

Sunday, January 13, 2008

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens (81) sits on the bench during the fourth quarter against the New York Giants in an NFC divisional playoff football game, Sunday, Jan. 13, 2008, in Irving, Texas. New York won 21-17.

For the second year in a row, the Cowboys' season ended in tears. Last January, Romo bobbled the snap on a potential game-winning field goal attempt in Seattle and cried afterward. This January, Romo threw the interception to McQuarters, and Owens cried afterward. The Giants expressed no sympathy. "We've got butter for their popcorn," Pierce said.

After the game, T.O. Sheds Tears for Cowboys Quarterback...

An ancient parable

A fox and a scorpion wandered along the banks of a wide river, both wondering how to get across. The scorpion was too small to cross himself, yet he had knowledge of a place where the river was more shallow and less wide, and much easier to cross. The fox, while an exceptional swimmer, was wise enough to know he was not strong enough to swim the full width of the river.

When the fox and the scorpion crossed paths, the scorpion made his proposal, "If you agree to carry me across the river, I will show you to the place where it is easiest to cross."

The fox said, "No. If I carry you, you'll sting me and I'll drown."

The scorpion assured him, "If I did that, we'd both drown."

The fox thought about it and finally agreed. So the scorpion showed the fox the easy crossing as promised, climbed up on the fox's back and the fox began to swim.

Halfway across the river, the scorpion stung him.
As the poison filled his veins, the fox turned to the scorpion and said,

"Why did you do that? Now you'll drown too."

"I couldn't help it," said the scorpion. "It's my nature."



The lesson

T.O. is destructive to every team he is on. On his own, he cannot cross that Superbowl "river". His knowledge and his skills can compliment a strong, well-coached team, but his destructive nature will eventually bring down whatever team is carrying him, and he doesn't care whether or not he is brought down as well.

Does the scorpion possess knowledge to help you cross?
Yes, absolutely... but he's going to sting you.
He can't help it: it's in his nature.
