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.

    • Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄  
    • That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.     
    • My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
