I have been near Philadelphia Eagles fans when they smoked weed in the stadium, pissed in sinks, and threw punches at opposing fans and even police officers. I’m not going to act holier than thou, because I certainly have engaged in less than stellar behavior at many Eagles games. So what does this have to do with Michel Vick? Well, when we heard about Vick’s latest incident stating he may be involved in ...

Sometimes people don't get a fair shake. They happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and their name gets dragged through the mud. Well that can’t really be said for Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback, Michael Vick. According to WTKR.com , Vick was at a Virginia Beach club early in the morning of June 25 celebrating his 30th birthday, when a man was shot. The report states that Adam ...

It’s easy to understand why people think the most impact this offseason will come on the defensive side of the ball. The unit surrendered a staggering 27.2 points over the last four games of the regular season and postseason combined. Things obviously had to change, and deficiencies needed to be addressed. Veterans like Darryl Tapp, Marlin Jackson and Ernie Simms were brought on board with the hopes the three could provide an ...

Everyone is talking about the Super Bowl being played in East Rutherford, New Jersey, at the New Meadowlands Stadium, because it might be a little on the cold side. A quick stroll through the World Wide Web reveals that the average temperature during February in East Rutherford is 37 degrees, and every sports media outlet will cram that number down your throat. But everyone is missing the real issue, and I can’t ...

The Eagles draft a bunch of defensive players and I’m supposed to believe things are going to change? Whenever you’re done wearing the midnight green sunglasses let me know, cause I would love to slip into the delusional world you live in. There is no way I am going to believe that Brandon Graham, Nate Allen or any other rookie will provide enough of an impact to turn our defense around. I ...

Andy Reid’s offensive game plan is predictable. His draft-day strategy? Not so much. During 11 seasons as the head coach, it is impossible to figure out what Reid is going to do based on past draft-day performances. Here’s his track record with the round number listed first and the overall pick listed second in parentheses: 1999 (1,2): QB, Donovan McNabb 2000 (1,6): DT, Corey Simon 2001 (1,25): WR, Freddie Mitchell 2002 (1,26): CB, Lito Sheppard 2003 (1,15): DE ...

You will notice I dropped the word “dope” from this week’s edition because I was able to educate a few fans who blindly follow, love, and support Donovan McNabb. The dopes are now gone as they have begun the process of learning a little bit about their boy McNabb. Is the general topic of McNabb old, run down, and annoying? Absolutely. But the topic of educating the ignorant followers is just getting started. ...

Nearly every transaction, trade rumor, and failed free agent signing has left Eagles fans saying, “What is this team trying to do?”   The answer may be that the Eagles are bagging the 2010 season and already looking forward to 2011.   The thought may sound foolish and the assessment may be jumping the gun way too early, but the way things are setting up there is reason to believe this is true.   To start ...

Dear Andy, We hate you. And by “we” I clearly mean “me.” Sure, you turned the Eagles around and you gave me something to cheer about. I even took pride in being an Eagles fan because we were actually good. It was weird, and I liked it. That’s great and all, but you’re not finishing this thing off and this offseason leads me to believe you have no clue what you are trying to ...

If it ain't broke don’t fix it. Well, guess what? It’s broke. The Philadelphia Eagles played 17 games last year, and 12 of those were against teams that did not make the playoffs. That’s over 70 percent, for you number crunchers out there. In the five games played against playoff teams, the Eagles went a smooth 0-5. Math geniuses beware, that equates to a winning percentage of .ooo. And in those ...
