Nick>Vick

It’s only halftime in the Eagles-Cowboys matchup today, I don’t wanna take the chance that something negative happens before I write this blog. I wanna actually speak about the replacement of the Eagles’ quarterback.

Before halftime, Michael Vick took not one, but two consecutive shots to the head. After further evaluation, he’s down for the count.

Vick suffered a concussion today. While I hope the man can recover and get healthy again, I’m somewhat relieved as an Eagles fan.

C’mon guys. We all knew that as long as Reid is coach, Vick would never be benched in favor of a rookie. Something needed to happen in order for the fans to be pleased. We wanted Nick Foles, the phenom rookie quarterback during the preseason. He looked solid then, and so far today, he hasn’t looked bad at all.

He’s performed relatively well. Has he scored yet? No. Has he thrown any game breaking passes? No. But most of the plays that Foles has been in for have been handoffs to LeSean McCoy. He has thrown a few passes and they’ve all looked solid except for one that was almost intercepted.

Give him a break. He’s just a rookie.

As we all know, he won’t get much room for error behind our offensive line. However, the line hasn’t looked completely useless today. Does that mean they’re playing well?

Arizona Prison Escapee Attempts to End Life Through Bear Attack

What do a convicted killer from Arizona Prison and a bear from Yellowstone National Park have in common?

This story will lead you to one of the most ill-planned suicide attempts.

An escape from the Arizona prison, Tracy Province, joined the nature at Yellow National Park to allow bears to devour him.

His plan obviously failed.

When Mohave County sheriffs arrested him on a mountain, he had already injected a gram of heroin.

In fact, Al Nash, a spokesman of Yellowstone National Park, reported, “Human bear encounters are very infrequent.”

Escaping from Arizona prison after receiving two life sentences to commit a suicide at Yellowstone National Park by a human devouring bear definitely does not sound such a smart plan after all.

Arizona Shootout

It’s weird hearing about something big happening in a quiet town you know very well.

After reading several articles about the tragic incident last week, it makes me look at Tuscon in a whole new light. No longer is it the quiet city in Arizona in which my grandpa lives and I spent months visiting. It is now the scene of one of the most wide-spread topics in the news now.

As most of the United States now knows, there was a shooting in Tuscon, Arizona ultimately ending with several wounded and dead. It is that site that I remember visiting with my father several times on our way from the airport and that city that holds some of my fondest memories. It’s strange looking at a location after something dramatic happens. It’s like the light of it shifts, and it seems gloomy.

I don’t know what exactly the shooter had intended, or what he knows that he has done; but now when thousands of people now grocery shop at that Safeway they will be reminded of his fatal attack.

Is it fair? No, not really. But there’s nothing to do about it now.
