So ESPN’s NFL Insider, Adam Schefter, was going all about business as usual for him, mainly tweeting NFL news. At one point today he tweeted out that it was Nick Foles time in Philadelphia and that Eagles quarterback Michael Vick wouldn’t be starting this weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Eagles QB Michael Vick is expected to miss Sunday's start vs. Tampa Bay due to his hamstring injury. Nick Foles time.

One local Philadelphia reporter didn’t take too kindly to Schefter encroaching on his turf, and said that this story was old news and he had already covered it.

The reporter is FOX 29 and 94 WIP Sports Radio’s Howard Eskin. In all fairness Adam, Howard did tweet this news first.
Big time #eagles win but not sure @MikeVick will play net week at Tampa

He tweeted it twice even. How dare you Adam!
#eagles QB @MikeVick likely to get MRI on Monday but I'm also told Vick likely out at least next wk against Tampa and Maybe 2 weeks.
