Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.This one is pretty simple. Michael Vick cannot stay on the field. The Eagles are going nowhere unless he can reverse this sudden susceptibility to injury.

I Don’t Get It: The state police continue to say they have no problem with the Megan’s Law suspect using Naylor’s Run Park as his residence. I don’t get it.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Nick Foles. The rookie from Arizona has made the most of his two preseason games with the Eagles, and making Mike Kafka look like maybe the third-string QB in the process.

Quote Box: “It’s also important for people to know that this is not a mosquito abatement program, They plan an important role environmentally. We’re just trying to reduce the risk of the West Nile virus to residents.”
