Is Michael Vick still a “coach killer?”

You may remember back in 2006 when Jim Mora Sr., former head coach of the New Orleans Saints, went on the radio to talk about Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick. His son Jim Mora Jr., was the head coach at the time and there were issues then surrounding Vick that didn’t involve one dog biting [...]

Vick and Maclin ruled out

The Philadelphia Eagles tried to fib to the media and fans this week after QB Michael Vick busted two ribs in last Sunday’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Marty Mornhinweg in particular tried to say that he was “optimistic” that Vick would be able to play against the New York Giants. The Eagles even stink [...]

Mornhinweg “optimistic” Vick can play Sunday night

Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick busted two ribs in Sunday’s awesome loss to the mighty Arizona Cardinals. Andy Reid says it happened on the second play of the game, but no one is buying that and there is a cloud of mystery around the whole situation. Vick hasn’t been practicing and Vince Young has been [...]

Another theory on Vick’s broken ribs

I was reading Profootballtalk.com this morning as I do every morning (And day. And night.), and I noticed some interesting theories being floated around on Michael Vick’s broken ribs. PFT thought it was curious that Andy Reid would mention that the Philadelphia Eagles QB had busted two lower ribs right off the bat in his [...]

NY Post cover has Michael Vick as whiny baby

After the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the New York Giants on Sunday, Eagles’ QB Michael Vick had some choice words for the referees and how they don’t protect him. He should have directed his ire towards his offensive line, but no, he went after the refs. “I was trying to protect myself,” Vick said. “Still [...]

Eagles get good news on Vick and Maclin

After the Philadelphia Eagles ugly loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, the team had more worries than just the division loss and 1-2 record. Specifically, they were dealing with Michael Vick’s broken hand and Jeremy Maclin’s bum hamstring. But, maybe things aren’t so bad after all. Today, the team got great news on [...]

Vick not ruled out for Sunday

Many criticize the sometimes reckless play of Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick. He likes to break off runs out of the pocket and he admits he doesn’t know how to slide. This leaves many fearful that he’s going to get hurt. Well, he got beat up pretty good in Atlanta Sunday night, but it wasn’t [...]

Vick hints at DeSean holdout

Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick had what was supposed to be a run-of-the-mill press conference Tuesday morning at the NovaCare Complex. “Just happy we got a deal done,” “can’t wait to get back to work,” “looking forward to a great year.” That kind of crap. But he dropped a few lines in about teammate DeSean [...]

Ben Roethlisberger’s fiance

This past December, Pittsburgh Steeler Ben Roethlisberger asked 26-year-old Ashley Harlan for her hand in marriage.  Since that day, the NFL world hasn’t gotten a chance to know Ashley, their relationship, and why her father has worn a Haloti Ngata jersey for 104 days straight.  These questions are starting to be answered. In an interview [...]

Roethlisberger Deserves Props

Ask me to chose?  I’ll take Philadelphia.  While Pittsburgh has the rings and the cups, I’ll take Philadelphia.  The truth is, it has nothing to do with the teams!  Albeit, I never was and never will be a fan of Sidney Crosby, I think the Pens are a tough team.  The Pirates are an absolute [...]

Vick vs Kolb Part II

Per “Vick vs Kolb, Part I”, we know that the skill position players seem to get their share of touches and have similar numbers regardless of who the quarterback is.  The main difference, strictly according to the numbers discussed, was Vick’s ability with his legs.  Both Kolb and Vick can throw the ball, but it [...]

Who do YOU blame?

Another year, another playoff loss. It is routine in Philadelphia to spend the month of January deciphering who is to blame for another loss in the post season. The only difference this year is that no one can point a finger at Donovan McNabb. Now, I’m sure someone right now is still cursing 5 for [...]

Kolb wants out of Philadelphia?

This isn’t a shocker. Kevin Kolb was a second-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2007 and was told that he’d be the starter of the team for 2010 after they traded Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins. After he got concussed in the opener against the Green Bay Packers, he essentially got Wally Pipped [...]

Eagles/Packers Preview: Defensive lines will decide the game

The Green Bay Packers should win this game, both on paper and on the field. They have a solid defense, a more consistent offense at this point in the season, and a more reliable QB. Yes, Michael Vick has been nothing short of exceptional this season, but the last few weeks have provided some reason [...]

McCoy makes the most of his carries

Running backs in the National Football League will usually fall under the “burner” or “bruiser” category.  Take a look for yourself.  The Chris Johnson, Jamaal Charles’ of the world would fall under the “burner” category.  To a much lesser extent, you could even place a Felix Jones into this category given his elite break away [...]

Vick could get benched in the playoffs?

While we typically take things that Sal Paolantonio says with a grain of salt, we thought this might be worth mentioning. Today, Vick will sit and rest against the Dallas Cowboys while Kevin Kolb gets the start. Is it possible a strong performance today by Kolb could put Vick on a short leash for the [...]

D-Bag of the Week: Tucker Carlson

FOX analyst Tucker Carlson was the genius guest host for Sean Hannity’s show on Tuesday night. On the show he stated, “I’m a Christian, I’ve made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances, but Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did it in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should [...]

Can the Eagles win the Super Bowl?

The Philadelphia Eagles were a house on fire for much of this season. Michael Vick and the offense have been a hot knife through butter this year, and there is Super Bowl talk in Philadelphia (despite Tuesday night’s meltdown to the Vikings). However, the Eagles are looking to rest Vick and that should help tremendously [...]

Someone needs to teach LeSean McCoy how to hold the ball

Any Philadelphia Eagles fans out there still willing to admit that they are fans of a team that stunk up the joint at home against a Minnesota Vikings team that had a third-string, rookie QB who was drafted to be a wide receiver? No? Didn’t think so. Of all the problems with the Eagles on [...]

Eagles future QB plans with Vick and Kolb

To say there has been an ass ton of speculation in Philadelphia regarding the Eagles QB situation is like saying Snookie has a little bit of fat on her ass. It’s an understatement. So, what will the Eagles do? The future was Kevin Kolb. Until he was not very good and then got a concussion. [...]

Vick to be third QB against Titans?

The speculation all week surrounding Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick hasn’t been about whether or not he will start this week against the Tennessee Titans. The question has been whether he’ll be the No. 2 or No. 3 QB. And, according to John Czarnecki of Foxports.com, Vick will be third behind backup Mike Kafka. Keep [...]

McCoy still sore, Vick will dress

The Philadelphia Eagles have been a little on the banged up side as of late. They are already without their starting left tackle this week, their running back has cracked ribs and they’ve played quarterback carousel pretty much all year due to injuries. As for Michael Vick, Andy Reid said that he’ll dress this week, [...]

Vick does have a fracture

Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick clearly got leveled at the one-yard line against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. And he clearly suffered some rib and chest injuries as a result. However, we were told that there was no fractures in his ribs, but only cartilage damage (like that’s any better?). Then Vick went on Bruce [...]

Vick’s x-rays are negative

It was bad news for Philadelphia Eagles fans today as quarterback Michael Vick had to leave after getting crushed between two Redskins at the goal line. Insult to injury, the run was called back and Kevin Kolb couldn’t get the team in the end zone. Vick left the game with injuries to his clavicle and [...]

Vick says his whole life was a lie

I’ll be the first to say that I didn’t want Michael Vick back in the NFL. I didn’t think he deserved it as I thought everything he did was reprehensible enough that he should find other employment. As for football being his livelihood, that’s what the UFL and CFL are for. But, he’s back, and [...]
