Finally dug out, but not confident that I’ll be able to get to and from my driveway as the snow stuck quite a bit. We’ll see tomorrow. Anyway, throughout the night, I’ll be catching up on stuff that I could not get to while digging out of the big snowstorm today. Keep your feeds updated.

Philadelphia QB Michael Vick and Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg Featured on the Latest Installment of ‘The NFL Season’ on NFL.comThe latest installment of ‘The NFL Season’ is now available on NFL.com. Despite a disappointing loss in the playoffs to the Green Bay Packers, the 2010 NFL season for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was one of re-birth and tremendous success. Starting the season as the backup to Kevin Kolb, Vick – the quarterback known more for his legs than his arm – was called into action in the Eagles’ first game and never looked back. With a more focused determination to the details of the position, Vick electrified the NFL with his dynamic play. The man behind Vick’s evolution as a quarterback was Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, who through his tutelage of quarterbacks such as Brett Favre, Steve Young and Jeff Garcia has been given the nickname of “Quarterback Guru.” Through a dedication to drills before and after practice, Mornhinweg helped reinvent Vick into a pocket-passer, and the results were felt across the league. The success that both Vick and Mornhinweg had this season will lead to bigger and better things for each. For Vick, it will be a new contract. For Mornhinweg, it may be another shot at a head coaching position.The latest episode can be found at: http://www.nfl.com/videos/philadelphia-eagles/09000d5d81d9e67e/The-Season-The-QB-Guru?module=HP_videoTHIS WEEK ON NFL.COMThursday, January 13
