Vick Speaks at a Church in D.C. - washingtonpost.com
Inside of a church in Southwest, with a line of police standing against the back wall and rows of television cameras pointing toward his eyes, Michael Vick clutched the sides of a pulpit Tuesday and took another step toward his redemption.

Gonzo: Don't call the fun police | Philadelphia Inquirer | 09/30/2009
When did having a distinctive personality become such an unpardonable sin? When did it become a symbol of what's wrong with these kids today? When I was growing up, athletes rolled out all sorts of unique, self-promoting touchdown celebrations (Desmond Howard and Ickey Woods come to mind), and no one ever called the fun police to have them carted off. But poor DeSean Jackson already has been tried and convicted by those who automatically bristle whenever a player dares to be different.

Eagles by the Numbers: Celek, the anti LJ
Celek has three performances of more than 100 yards in his last 10 games. That’s more games over 100 yards in his last 10 games than Eagles tight ends had in the previous 309 games dating back to the 1990 playoffs. He already has more career 100-yard games than two-time Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley (two). Jeremy Shockey recorded his third career 100-yard game in his 41st start, Jason Witten in his 54th start. Celek did it in his 13th.

Eagles' Justice penalty-free | Philly | 09/30/2009
Three offensive linemen -- Winston Justice, Max Jean-Gilles, and Jamaal Jackson are penalty-free through three weeks. That's particularly impressive for Justice, who is in his first season as a starter at the right tackle position.

Yeah, never heard of him. Also, I read something today about some Pinkston guy. Who are these people?

Bye, Big Stew and JJ :(

By the way, let's throw a little love Winston Justice's way...

I’ll admit, I completely wrote him off, but he’s been great.

(Standing and clapping) Keep it up, big fella.

Bye, Big Stew and JJ :(

Good work Vick …

I enjoy celebrations just when you miss practice all week because of a groin injury don’t flip into a MJ spilt. It’s A) asking for an injury and B) sending the wrong message to the guys who busted their asses all week in practice.

Celek is good … I believe I’ve went over this before.

Congrats Justice he is probably the biggest surprise of the season so far.

The Vick story initially might have been bigger but if anyone watched Monday Night Football they know the Brett Favre story is taking on a life of it’s own. If I just listened to the commentators I would have bet anything that Favre was playing in that game.

I don’t think anybody really cares what Jackson does in the endzone. The problem is that little celebration could have aggravated his injury.

I’m happy to be wrong about Justice. As such, allow me to say, Macho Harris? You stink.

If only we had a wily veteran that could fill out our FS spot while Macho finds his feet in this league...

This.

If Jackson wants to do Chad or T.O. type celebrations, go for it. But never do something that puts you at a risk for an injury. Remember this?

Also, I wish he would wait until he was 5 yards deep in the end zone, count to 3 (no more, no less), then begin his celebration. I always cringe when I see him going toward the goal line and he knows he is about to score.
