Try try again, Savior?

Last night I targetted for taking my second shot at replacing the inner tube on my Gotway Monster.  I tried last weekend but wound up puncturing a brand new tube as I tried remounting the tire.  I bought two more tubes just in case I failed again.  Luckily I managed to get the second tube installed intact as well as reassemble the wheel, albeit with some pretty dumb screw ups along the way.  Check it out if you need something to watch with breakfast.

So I heard Carson Wentz may miss this week and possibly the rest of the season.  Evidently he has had back pain off and on all year.  Only recently did they determine the pain is coming from a small fracture that requires no surgery but requires rest to heal.  It’s a bit concerning that such a young QB has had pretty significant injuries his first two years in the league.  I hope we don’t have a Tony Romo pattern setting up.

To me the good news is Nick Foles, the architect of the most magical Eagles playoff run in history gets another shot to pull off a miracle.  The team has a brutal two games coming up that they will be expected to lose.  If Nick somehow manages to come out with W’s and get the Birds into the playoffs his place in Eagles lore will grow to monumental proportions.  With the way this defense has been playing, the only shot the team has is to put up points, and lots of them.  Wentz overall this year, despite decent numbers, has not been all that effective in consistently getting the Birds in the end zone.  If Foles can do it with the same personnel it may be time to start looking closer at why Wentz couldn’t.

This weekend is my birthday, hooray.  I am sure Cindy will do whatever she can to make it great.  Me, I will just continue to treat it like any day.
