Yeah, read about that too. I was kind of shocked to hear him say "not how I wanted to end my career with Philadelphia" in his news conference. I don't think anyone on the Eagles or the fan base wants him gone. One bad game doesn't make a career, especially if he was battling a personal issue (although that shouldn't be an excuse.) He should have put six more points on the board yesterday, but he's still probably the most consistent kicker in Eagles history.

Oh, and I'm just glad my dad, a diehard Packers fan who went to the game yesterday, didn't rub it in too much. Although it was probably fun being in that stadium yesterday as the enemy. Looking forward to another season with Andy "I've got to do a better job" Reid!
