One half of the Pennsylvania Bowl appears to be complete, with Eagles scoring to go up 27-10. A little more than 3 minutes left.
One of the things that has annoyed me all season is the NFL's emphasis on contact with wide receivers. What I see happening is teams not being rewarded for making plays, but by drawing calls on defensive backs. IMHO the NFL either needs to pull back on the calls or change the penalty because this is watering the game down.
So far it is a good game in frigid weather. Philadelphia appears to be in control, though Michael Vick is one of those guys that win a game all by himself. I'll never forget how he led the Falcons to a victory over my Packers in Green Bay a couple of years ago.
Atlanta responded with a drive of their own. 14-10 Eagles.
After Atlanta's field goal Philadelphia gets a touchdown after a long drive. 14-3 Eagles
Philadelphia is up 7-0 with Atlanta driving early in the second quarter. Vick is dropped for a loss on 3rd and goal. Atlanta settles for a field goal. 7-3 Eagles.
There will be no joy in Houghton. The previously unbeaton Michigan Tech Huskies fell to Grand Valley State 24-7.
The game restarted and when it was done the Cubs had lost 3-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Live from Wrigley Field, where we a sitting through the first rain delay, two batters into the game.
