I have a thing about conspiracy theories. I refer to them as my "Grasssy Knoll Theories." That, of course, is a reference to the grass knoll in Dealey Plaza in Dallas that has always been at the center of the JFK conspiracy thoughts.
My point being that only someone like me would consider the following:
Does anyone else find it just a tad odd that Andy Reid and the Eagles made their mind-blowing announcement that Michael Vick was their new starting quarterback just an hour before Roy Halladay took the mound across the street?
And before you slap me and demand, a la Cher in "Moonstruck," to "snap out of it," consider this.
Monday night the Phillies, playing in front of still another packed house at Citizens Bank Park, also set an all-time ratings mark on Comcast for the broadcast of the game.
Make no mistake, the Eagles front office, Jeff Lurie, Joe Banner et al, are keenly aware of everything that goes on in this town. They like their position as the dominant franchise, which they've been for years.
With all due respect to Michale Vick and his troubled background, the Phillies are the new top dog in this town. And my guess is that bugs the Eagles' front office, and their empty "gold standard" proclamations, to no end.
Remember, this is the same franchise that announced the blockbuster trade of Donovan McNabb just before the Phillies opener.
Forget it, nobody could be that vain. But it makes you wonder.
