Talkin' About Preseason

POSTED: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 1:59 AM

Andy Reid announced Wednesday that Michael Vick will not play again this preseason, and quite honestly, the football fans of the world ain't missing much.

In his four years as an Eagle, Vick has appeared in 11 preseason games and has but one touchdown pass to show for his troubles. Sure, he's got three TD runs, but I don't think any Eagles' fan wants to see Vick trying to race a linebacker to the pylon at this point.

Here are Vick's career exhibition numbers as an Eagle:

    PASSING RUSHING
 Year     GP    Cmp.-Att.  Yds.  TD  Int.    Sacked    Att.  Yds.    TD 
 2009 11-15  45  4-40  36 
 2010  16-28  189  5-20  14  111 
 2011 19-36  219  2-18  27   1 
 2012 4-  7  11  1-  7

About this blog

Boop – who goes by Bob Vetrone Jr. when he is undercover or paying bills – has been at the Daily News since 1982, after working for five years at the Philadelphia Bulletin up to its closing. Along with helping to build the sports scoreboards most nights, he has had great input into the papers’ special sports pullouts – March Madness, Broad Street Run, Record Breakers, Greatest Moments – as well as its day-to-day, award-winning event coverage.

A 1980 graduate of North Catholic, he took some evening college courses. Those lasted right up until the first conflict with a Big 5 doubleheader.

His favorite books growing up were the NBA Guide and the Baseball Encyclopedia, which was, for all intents and purposes, the Internet before there was an Internet.

He has been immersed in sports statistics since the early 70s, when his father (long-time sports writer, broadcaster and the Daily News’ Buck The Bartender), would take him into the Bulletin newsroom overnight in the summer and let him update the Phillies statistics in a little, black spiral notebook. But things have changed tremendously in the decades since … He now uses a big, black spiral notebook. Email him at boopstats@phillynews.com.
