The question of today folks is this: is the fix in with regards to Michael Vick and the remainder of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles? It was reported earlier Monday that Vick had a significant concussion, and is having symptoms that will probably keep him out of this week’s game against the Washington Redskins.
The question now is will this concussion and reported symptoms keep Vick out for the remainder of the season? If we all remember, a concussion ended Kevin Kolb’s tenure with the Eagles. However, the circumstances are completely different, but again: is the fix in?
Is Andy Reid using a concussion to his $100 million quarterback, as an excuse to get rookie Nick Foles in the starting line-up and to help him save his job as the Eagles head coach? Sources have verified that regardless of when Vick starts to feel better, his rest will carry out through the remainder of the regular season.
Multiple reports state that Reid will go to the owner and suggest that Foles play these final seven games. Many feel that even though Foles may not be as talented as Vick, his ability to see over the defense and run the timing aspect of the Eagles offense is intriguing to team’s brass.
Many wonder if this is the end of the road, and if so, what suitors Vick will have in the off-season.

The Worst Thing That Could Possibly Happen for the Redskins in the Eagles Vs. Cowboys Happened
When Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick went down with a concussion this past Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys I’m sure there was a grouping of Redskins fans who let out a cheer.

Andy Reid’s ending becoming a sad affair
5 NFC Championship games. 1 Super Bowl appearance. 6 NFC East titles and 1 NFC Championship. 129 wins, 86 losses and 1 dreadful tie. The greatest era of Eagles football ever. It’s a record that most NFL coaches would kill for. In Philadelphia, it’s about to cost a man his job.
This is a bitter end. Not the one that Andy Reid deserved. You can say what you want about the man,...
Eagles 'Probably' Won't Fire HC Andy Reid Until Season Is Over

Andy Reid Plans To Stick With Eagles QB Michael Vick, If Healthy
With Michael Vick out with a concussion, rookie Nick Foles saw his first regular-season action in the Eagles' season-crushing, 38-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. At 3-6, it seems like its time for Foles to get an extended look but that's not part of coach Andy Reid's plan.

Cowboys Special Teams Player Gets Pants’d on Kick Off
Well, this is certainly one way to get yourself noticed. Before today, nobody knew who Erik Frampton was – today they all know him personally. I have to say, the Lingerie Football league pantsings are much better.
