Michael
Vick has been pummeled with criticism by Philadelphia Eagles fans over the
first three weeks of the season.
Because of his terrible start, both his and Andy Reid’s jobs are at
stake this season. Ashley Fox of
ESPN featured this story on her column.
Because ESPN is the most reliable sports network in the world, and
Ashley Fox is a proven sports columnist, the content of this article is very
reliable. At the time this article
was written, Michael Vick and the Eagles have been a popular story around the
NFL because of their upcoming prime time game against a divisional rival.
This
text was written for NFL fans in general, but mostly fans outside of
Philadelphia. Much of the article
spent describing the current situation in Philadelphia, most of which Eagles
fans would have known prior to reading the article. This piece was intended to both make an opinionated
statement on the future of the Eagles as well as to create drama leading up to
the prime time game. Fox wants to
make sure that people are interested going into the Sunday Night game so that
more people watch and want coverage on it. In order to make her point of controversy, Fox drastically
varies the length of her sentences in the first two paragraphs. Each had about three points that were
made simply and then were followed up by a long sentence of details, which contained
multiple commas. Also, Fox mainly
appeals to logos and ethos by using quotations from Eagles players as well as
statistics on Vick to back up her statements. Fox does a good job of portraying the controversy and
showing new perspectives that will make upcoming Eagles games more appealing to
watch.
