With Vick, Eagles Ready to RUN AND GUN

Wow, talk about making a splash during training camp.  The Mike Vick ship has finally landed and it’s with the Philadelphia Eagles.  You talk about a guy who comes in and immediately makes an impact on an entire division.  The magnitude of bringing in a SUPERSTAR like Mike Vick into an already prolific offense makes the Eagles the TEAM TO BEAT in the NFC.  And let me tell you why MIKE VICK will fit right in.  You look around that locker room, there are a bunch of veterans like Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, and Asante Samuel.  These are guys that have BEEN THROUGH ADVERSITY before, they’ll be there for Vick when he needs it.

I know some people are a little concerned about the job status of Don-o-van McNabb.  There’s no doubt that the Eagles management still has questions about McNabb’s injured shoulder.  Trust me, as a guy who’s gone under the knife PLENTY OF TIMES during my own playing career, injuries to the knees or the shoulder aren’t ones that heal right away.  Now, I’m sure Vick isn’t going to be taking Donovan’s job anytime soon, I’m certainly not suggesting that.  But don’t be surprised if you hear the moans and groans of Philly fans if Donovan ever starts to struggle because YOU KNOW WHO IS ON THE BENCH heh okay.

Many people are wondering how the Eagles will use Vick once he’s served his suspension.  When you have an offense that already includes DeSean Jackson, Brian Westbrook, Donovan McNabb, and Jeremy Maclin, pffttt you better believe Andy Reid is going to DIAL IT UP offensively.  You can count on all the BELLS AND WHISTLES with Reid’s formations.  I mean, Reid is a guy who already doesn’t like running the ball.  So you can imagine that he’s going to work Vick in like Bill Cowher did, you know, in the days of Kordell Stewart or SLASH as they used to call him.  Now, I dont know about you, but I CANT WAIT to watch th Eagles play.

Sportable Mock Draft: Basebrawl Team

by rich on August 13, 2009

In lieu of the donnybrook that broke out at Fenway on Tuesday, we deemed it necessary to give fighting in baseball our full attention.  We’ve put together a mock draft of baseball teams designed specifically to battle at the mound if the occasion arises.  This draft is based on a multitude of variables including height and weight, potential to go ballistic, and of course past history of throwing blows at opponents.

GM’s:  Rich, Ryan, Sonny.

Round 1

Rich: SP Pedro Martinez.  Unafraid to throw at hitters or put a 70 year old man on his ass, Pedro has to be my first round pick.

Ryan: RP Ugueth Urbina.  Currently serving a 14 year sentence for attempted murder.  Not assault, murder.

Rich: Urbina?  How’s he gonna fight from a jail cell?

Sonny:  OF Izzy Alcantara. Izzy will go down as the only baseball player to ever karate kick a catcher before taking out a pitchers face.

The Lost Clients: Episode II

The Lost Clients Episode II

Brad Childress has become an easy target this offseason. He’s bald, he’s a pushover and he’s a pretty awful head coach. But he has one thing going for him. Childress resembles Arrested Development’s Tobias Funke to a tee. I figured my piss-poor Photoshop skills could blend Childress and Funke seamlessly.
