Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.

Anyone else think Mike Vick should QB this team from 20 to 20, then give way for Nick Foles in the red zone. Sure, it’s unorthodox, but then it’s not like this team is going to the Super Bowl anyhow. Actually, this week Vick’s injury might make all the QB talk a moot point.

I Don’t Get It: Fans in New York booed both Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning. Two Super Bowl rings don’t get you much of a break. Good thing that did not happen in Philly. We’d never hear the end of it.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Nick Foles for stepping up when given the opportunity. That’s what the backup is supposed to do.

Quote Box: “Some guys would get discourgaged, but he wasn’t like that at all.”
