Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has officially been ruled out for Sunday’s game in San Francisco, meaning Kevin Kolb will get the start in his place.
Vick suffered cartilage damage in addition to a small fracture in his rib area in last Sunday’s loss to Washington.
The injury took place while he was scrambling toward the goal line late in the first quarter and got sandwiched between two defenders…. (source)
Just because the Atlanta Falcons won yesterday against the New New Orleans Skainks Saints…
I just wanna rub it in… lmao!

Atlanta will always love Mike Vick but he’s now been officially named the starting QB for the Philadelphia Eagles!
The Philadelphia Eagles have named Michael Vick the team’s starting quarterback, coach Andy Reid said Tuesday.
“When someone is playing at the level Michael Vick is playing, you have to give him an opportunity,” Reid said. “This isn’t about Kevin Kolb’s play. You’re talking about Michael Vick as one the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now.”
Kolb missed the last six quarters because of a concussion, and Vick played well in his absence. Kolb was cleared to practice and was expected to run the first-team offense on Wednesday.
“Kevin is fine. It’s not an injury-related issue,” Reid said. “It’s not about judging him. He’s going to be a championship-caliber quarterback.”
This decision to go with Vick had been in the works for two days.
Team sources told ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio that in the early morning hours on Monday, Reid, general manager Howie Roseman and the rest of the Eagles coaching staff and front office started going through the game film of Sunday’s win in Detroit and saw the severity of the problems on the Eagles offensive line.

Spotted tailgating at the Atlanta Falcons game yesterday was a gentleman in “all polyester everything”. Now as hot as it’s been in the “A” recently, he’s got to be either one helluva Falcon’s fan or one helluva fool…
Whatever the case, the Falcons won 41 to 7 against the Arizona Cardinals, in what can only be described as an A-town “A”zz whoopin.
I credit Mr. Murry’s suit for the win…
Get you some… suckas!
Perhaps if more of you ATLiens took as much pride in your team as Mr. Murray, we’d win a lot more games. Therefore, in the near future I expect to see all of you rockin your ruby red polyester to all home games…. *giggle*

Darnell Docket Dedicates Falcons Game to Slain Mom…
Darnell Dockett of the Arizona Cardinals is dedicating this Sunday’s Falcons home game to his slain mother.
According to the AP, Dockett, an Atlanta native, returned to his Decatur, Ga., home that day to find his mother shot to death in the head, a crime that never has been solved. He went to live with his father, who died a few months later of pancreatic cancer. An uncle is credited with saving him, helping him avoid a life of drugs and crime on the street.
Every time I go into that city, even when I was in college (for Florida State) at Georgia Tech, when I went to Atlanta it was a big thing for me to do well in those games. … That’s where my life really started, there’s so much tragedy there.”
Lakers great Ron Artest has decided to auction off his championship ring! Artest finally won a title in June after 11 regular seasons of trying and says that he’ll never wear it so he’s putting it’s value to a good cause.
You may recall Artest shouting out his psychiatrist during his post-game interview, just moments after his championship win…. well now he’s planning to sell the championship ring to raise funds to put more psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists in schools.
“I’m never going to put it on,” he said.
Artest plans to soon announce details of what he hopes will become a worldwide auction, and he takes possession of the jewelry in an Oct. 26 pre-game ceremony before the Lakers open against the Rockets. It’s an incredible gesture. But it’s even more meaningful as a statement.
“You work so hard to get a ring, and now you have a chance to help more people than just yourself, instead of just satisfying yourself,” he said. “What’s better than that? For me, this is very important.” (Source)
