Crazy night! Still not sure what to think about our new McVick backfield (although very excited), but one thing we’re sure about: we’ve got some sick weapons. Shady looked like the real deal last night, DeSean had that sick jukin’ first down run, and Maclin looked really solid. I loved Mike Quick’s comment after Maclin’s punt return: “Ok, this guy is impressive.”
By the way, Michael Vick is a bird. Wow.
Just read this morning that the last wide receiver drafted by the Eagles to reach the Pro Bowl was Fred Barnett… 17 years ago. SEVENTEEN YEARS ago. Wtf. I mean sure, I know I was barely pushing 4′ when he caught that 450 yard TD pass from Randall against the Bills, but come on. That was seventeen years ago??
On a lighter note, this article about DeSean made me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Or maybe it was the coffee. Anyway, I’m psyched. (This is why you gotta support your local newspapers folks!): JACKSON READY TO SOAR
Ran up the steps at the art museum the other day, and was amazed to see how many other people were doing it. My friend who lives nearby said she sees people doing it every day on her way to work.
I met a guy from Germany who had actually come to Philadelphia just to run up the steps. He was wearing a t shirt that just read “BALBOA” (maybe one we should add to our site?)
Two Inquirer reporters actually wrote a book about people doing this, it’s called “Rocky Stories.” Somebody get me this for Christmas?
