Laces Out: Thursday Football Links
–The Wiz Wit takes a look at why the Eagles are like a fat, slutty cousin. Also, a man has Donovan McNabb and David Akers tattooed on his back.
-Not surprisingly, Michael Vick will start in place of the injured Kevin Kolb on Sunday.
-He’s also one of the most hated players in sports, according to Q Score ratings, which take into account the public’s positive and negative feelings about player for marketing purposes.

Yay racism (sarcastic font, folks- that’s sad).

-But they might still be in trouble with the NFL. Four minutes isn't long enough to evaluate concussions.
-Finally, the Eagles are up for the international bestest-team-ever award, for realsies.
