To use a cross sports metaphor, the NFL hit a homerun with its opener last night. The Packers and Saints put on a show and basically reminded everyone of what we’ve been waiting for all season. I know I got more excited for the start of the Eagles season and apparently I wasn’t the only one. Michael Vick was watching as well.
↵“Last night’s game was probably was probably one of the best games I’ve watched in a long time," Vick said ."You know, [Green Bay Packers QB] Aaron [Rodgers] and [New Orleans Saints QB] Drew [Brees], they did great, they’re the best. You know, I admire those guys, and that game last night made me want to go out and play on Sunday, it actually got me excited. It was just a totally different feel in practice for me today, my mindset is different, and you know, I’m just excited about the opportunities that we have.â€
