The Return
Through two weeks of Smithology, the article has created a little bit of poor luck. Offensive lineman Andrew Gardner was profiled in last week’s edition, and a few days later a foot injury unfortunately ended his season.
But when one door closes in Smithology, another one opens. After Gardner was placed on the Injured Reserve list, Julian Vandervelde (featured in the first column) returned like the Ghost of Smithology Past. Since that first column dealt with his long list of career transactions with the Eagles, it was only fitting that I catch up with him this week upon his return.
