The Second installment

I want to start this blog off with thanks for the praise I got after my first blog.

A couple of people out there told me to stick to more of a 1 sport post and that’s what I will try to do. So today I will talk about football and look for either Tomorrow or Friday for one on baseball.

So my cousin asked for my breakdown on the NFC, and Mike Vick.

Let me start with Mike Vick. Good old number 7 well I was working the game the night it was announced Vick was an eagle. First I was shocked and did not really have an opinion. Then the Philly fans came up an wanted to talk about it. Now I am always up for a good sports conversation usually, but that night was different. I wanted to get all the details before voicing my opinion. So I watched Andy Reid and Vick's and Tony Dungy try to say how this was going to be a good thing. And I have to say I sat there looking at Vick, and he seemed like he had rehearsed for the questions he was being asked. I did not find anything heartfelt from him. And my feeling is Vick still does not care what he did to those dogs, he only cares that he got caught. You don’t just stand there and electrocute and drown dogs, then one day feel bad for it. Vick said being in jail really changed him. Well what’s he really going to say I sat in jail and I still feel like what I did was not messed up? If he didn’t act like he changed he would have never came back to the NFL. A wise person asked me JD why the eagles though why did they have to get him? I honestly did not know how to answer that. In Jeffrey Lurie’s interview in seemed like he talked from the heart about Vick. Lurie said how he really had to be talked into it. Lurie said how he is a big animal lover and such. I was watching Daily News Live and one of the reporters asked “Hey I know this is crazy but do you thing the eagles signed Vick as a Pr move since the Phillie's are getting all the attention in the town.” I sat there thinking on some level I think that is true. The Philadelphia eagles are media hogs they love the attention. And I have to believe that with only 2 stars on there team the eagles were kind of jealous by the low media attention they were getting. Now do I think that’s the only reason the eagles signed Vick absolutely not. But what I don’t get is there going pay him 1.6 mill this year. He is going to get revaluated by the commissioner in the week leading up to game 6 so it’s not even definite he can play in week 6. There going to have him on the field for 10 maybe games just to run the wildcat. I don’t understand that and you really think his first game on the field he going to play like the old Mike Vick. I don’t and it seems like to me this is only for 1 year, He has an option on his contract for next year for 6 million which unless Vick turns out to be great (which I doubt will not happen) he wont be here next year. So why sign Vick? Quite simply I don’t know. “Hide your beagle Vicks an Eagle”

A quick breakdown of the NFC East I will do another one before the first game.

Key Loses for each team

Giants: Plaxico Burress

Eagles: Brian Dawkins, Stewart Bradley

Cowboys: T o

Redskins: does it matter they don’t have a qb although they probably will beat the eagles

At this point I like Giants for the division and Eagles for the wild card.

Redskins signing Haynesworth is big, but they way over paid him.

Eagles Notes: I am worried about them because they depending on a lot from the rookies to contribute to the offense.I like that they signed a real FB (Fullback) lest hope he stays healthy. I have not seen enough of Maclin or McCoy to form an opinion yet. Dawkins leaving the defense and Bradley getting hurt leaves us with out a leader on defense. Sheldon brown just wants money doesn’t seem like he want to be a leader.

Now the Eagles don’t really run there plays or game plan for preseason games, but if the eagles defense plays like they did to the Colts during the season look for the score to be really lopsided. It seems like the eagles are signing LB’S (Linebackers) an TE’S (Tight ends) everyday which is scary. But its only week 3 in the Preseason so there is a little time left for the team to get it together.

Eagle’s vs. Jaguars

Final words: Ill do a recap on the football game next week. Remember I will do a baseball blog either tomorrow or Fri look for that. Keep the feed back coming I really appreciate it, and please tell friends an family members to check out this blog.

I am JH jr. an I’m out.

the age of the blogging begins

Hello my name is John Hutchinson jr

My goal after college is to become a sports writer.

A few people recomended to me that I start my own blog.

So here we go! I am an avid sports fan especially of the Eagles, Phillies and flyers. I can tolerate the sixers

Let me first start with our WS Champions Phillies. To let everyone know I was there that faithful night that the Phillies won. A memory I well never froget. And I was there on Halloween for the celebration down broad street.

So Iam going to skip from halloween till now, Aug 21st where are fightens have a 6.5 game lead in the divison. Sure half of the mets lineup is nursing injuries but thats not our fault.

I think the phillies getting Cliff Lee is the greatest thing to happen to philly since cheese and steak got put on a roll together.

With Jayson Werth an Ryan Howard heating up in the words of Rick Bo " Lets hope we can put the divison away now".

The Phillies will start a 4 game series with the Muts(yes I know I spelled it wrong) tonight.

King Cole or Hollywood cole or what have you takes the mound vs Mike Pelfrey. It should be another 4 game sweep especially since we dont face johan. But like uncle Choo choo charlie "says we have to take it 1 game at a time. "

To the Eagles now the only good thingI saw last night was the TD pass to action jackson. Our team looked like they could care less that manning was making them look like a joke. I understand its preseason and half the team is in the trainig room but come on boys step up.
My favorite was assante samuel geting scored against going to the sideline and geeting highfives. Really I thought the high five was for when something good happen. Anyway aftermcnabb came out I really lost intrest in watch Aj feel run for his life on everyplay to try an make a play. Good the the phillies were on. Only 1 more thing to say after last night preseason game get well soon westbrook!

Well thats going to b it for my first blog trust me I have alot more to write. Please tell your friends about this blog.

I am JH jr an I am out!
