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.

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.
