Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb didn't pass the second phase of concussion testing Wednesday, so backup Michael Vick will start this weekend against the Detroit Lions, a league source told NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi.

The Philadelphia Inquirer also reported Thursday morning that Vick will start.

It will be Vick's first start in 45 months. The last time he started a game was on Dec. 31, 2006, with the Atlanta Falcons.

In related news, Vick was named the "most hated athlete" this week by a CNBC.com report. 3 years after his dog fighting trial, and over a year since he's been released from prison. He was followed by Tiger Woods, TO, Ocho Cinco, Kobe, & LeBron. All young, all black, all rich, all successful.

He looked pretty damned good in relief last Sunday. He better be ready for the fickle Philly spotlight. Probably fortunate this is a road game if all doesn't go well.

Wonder how Detroit will bounce back from the referee ass fugging after they beet Chicago, only to have it taken away. Should be an interesting game.

    • I noticed Canales commented on King having a live arm. Weinke coached him and said he could make any throw an NFL team would ask him to make.  His mechanics and general process of throwing looks a little wonky to me though. Haven’t really zoomed in on that though to say more.     Brazzell, his hands look at least decent to me and of course his speed is there.   Love his balance.  Like a cat, always comes down on his feet. Not his butt.  
    • If Veabel is the father the name, unfortunately…. well you are looking at Mike Jr.    I feel bad for the husband And the kid though. Especially the kid who had no hand in anything and is just a victim.   Most people would develop some pretty big issues around the chaos of finding out nothing you were told about your father was true and you have been calling the wrong guy Dad.  And trusting your mother, well that is over too.     She should be permanently burned as a reporter or rumor reporter. Whatever she I was.    Who can trust anything she says?   Vrabel has outed himself as a total phony. No credibility whatsoever.    
    • My worry is about his concussion. Concussions.  Last thing we need is for him to  be like Jewel. I am looking forward to him benefiting from better players around him in the defense.  Defending QBs under a little more pressure than the last few years.  Better coverage defense in front of him in the middle.
