In Memory Of Jim Johnson: One Year After

Posted: 9th July 2010 by Jim Reed in NFL
This time last year was a time of uncertainty for the Eagles.   All Eagles fans were praying for the man who was the mastermind of the Eagles defense for over a decade. Of course I am talking about the Philadelphia Eagles one and only:   Jim Johnson Jim Johnson was suffering from a case of melanoma (first diagnosed in 2001), which was reported earlier in the 2008 season as “problems” with his ...
There has been plenty of talk regarding the Philadelphia Eagles, but it seems that one player is hogging the spot light. Mike Vick and his "shenanigans" have been all you have heard about in recent news. Here is an article that will show you what some of his team mates have been doing besides hanging out at clubs where old acquaintances end up being shot.Begin Slideshow
It's been reported that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, Miles Austin, is courting Kim Kardashian. My initial reaction was, "Good for you, Miles!" Then, "You know, this may NOT be good for the Cowboys." Is the star receiver tempting fate with this temptress? Tom Brady has Gisele Bundchen, Hank Baskett has Kendra Wilkinson, Tony Romo had Jessica Simpson, and of course, Reggie Bush had Kim Kardashian. Although Tom Brady is still a Pro Bowl quarterback, ...

Is Daniel Te’o-Nesheim Another Eagles Mid-Round Wonder?

Posted: 25th June 2010 by Jim Reed in NFL
Brandon Graham and Nate Allen, In my opinion, were almost perfect picks for the Eagles in the first and second rounds. Daniel Te'o-Nesheim (TAY-OH-Nesh-em) is the last person I expected to hear called when the Eagles finally selected in the 3rd round of the NFL Draft. And this excites me!! Te'o-Nesheim was one of the key members of the Washington Huskies defense. He red-shirted in 2005 and earned the scout team ...

Why Is Michael Vick Always Surrounded By Trouble?

Posted: 25th June 2010 by Jim Reed in NFL
Micheal Vick. You hear that name and instantly begin to sigh. So much potential in that man, so much talent that could be put to good use if only he had a good head on his shoulders. Almost everyone knows about the dogfighting scandal that jailed Vick for 21 months, so there is no need to elaborate on that. But over Memorial Day weekend, Vick took a lump-sum of $5,000 to attend ...
When you think of the “big play” wide-outs for Philly you instantly think Mike Quick. He (along with Ron “Jaws” Jaworski) holds the longest pass play in Philadelphia Eagles History. It was a 99-yard touchdown pass On Nov. 10, 1985; it’s an amazing NFL Record that cannot be broken. This 99-yard touchdown pass was the 6th occurrence out of the 11 times it has occurred in the NFL. But it’s been a ...

NFL Fans Getting Sexier?

Posted: 8th June 2010 by Jim Reed in NFL
I remember as a kid, the usual way was: The man watched the game (Regardless of the sport) and the loving wife would stay out of the way unless it was to refresh his drink. To go back and think of that now, it seemed very odd. Now it is very common to see everyone enjoying the game. Boyfriends and girlfriends, Husbands and Wives, Even Watching together as a family. It ...

Donovan McNabb Trade: Was It Really Time For a Change?

Posted: 7th June 2010 by Jim Reed in NFL
It’s been several months for everyone to digest the fact that Donovan McNabb was dealt to the Washington Redskins after a very successful career in Philly, but was it the right decision? McNabb has been a consistent piece of the Eagles offence since 1999 that has thrived with any supporting cast. From the year 2000 – 2004, He was able to make moves with his feet, passed very accurately to a ...
