There may only be two people unhappy to hear that the NFL has reached an agreement with its regular refs and will have them back on the field starting with tonight’s Thursday night game between the Ravens and Browns.
That just might be Andy Reid and Michael Vick.
Usually around these parts, disgruntled fans would have spent the entire week grumbling about the dismal performance of Vick and the Eagles offense. They would have spent hours trying to determine if it was the quarterback’s fault, or Reid’s for another pass-happy game plan.
Instead, the Eagles dynamic duo got a bit of a pass.
All anybody has been talking about since Monday night was the blown call that decided the Packers-Seahawks game.
That’s now over.
Vick and Reid will be back in the spotlight - and the crosshairs - starting Sunday night.
The duo will be the featured production in the nationally televised game as they face their first big NFC East test with the Giants at Lincoln Financial Field.
And you can bet on Monday, tongues will be wagging about how they fared.
The real refs are back. The Phillies are playing out the string. The Flyers are locked out. The Sixers are headed to training camp. The stage belongs to Vick and the Eagles. A national audience awaits.
Is this version of the Eagles, headed by Vick and Reid, ready for prime time.
We’re about to find out.
