I wanted to watch the Eagles tonight against Jacksonville just to see Vick play, but I couldn't find a station that was carrying the game among my hundreds of cable channels. What is the point of having all those channels anyway? Do people actually watch them all? Enough people so that those channels can make enough money to actually turn a profit and keep broadcasting? You gotta be kidding me. So I ended up reading a live blog on ESPN and waiting for the game recap to be published.
Seems Vick played early in the game, just six plays total, and got his feet wet without making any mistakes. Coach Reid didn't make us wait too long to catch a glimpse of Vick, inserting him on the second play of the game. The crowd didn't boo him much (not surprised). He said after the game that he's about 70% of the way there in terms of his fitness level, and he just wants to contribute to the team in whatever way he's asked to. Good man.
Earlier in the day, a sad / funny story came out from Richmond VA. Seems the CEO of the local SPCA, a woman by the name of Robin Starr who has been outspoken against Vick's cruelty to dogs, inadvertently killed her own dog by leaving it in the car all morning while she was at work; the dog suffered kidney failure.
Now, I'm not entirely convinced I know what the word "ironic" means, and I'm not always sure I know when something is or isn't ironic. But I'm pretty positive this story is ironic.
