Throughout the NFL, the injury bug is biting down...Hard. Just days into camp, receiver Ron Johnson endured a dislocated ankle and Riley Cooper suffered a broken left collarbone. Philadelphia Eagles' head coach, Andy Reid, has yet to confirm the addition of any replacement free-agent receivers.  If the Eagles are serious about winning, then they should bring in their old friend Terrell Owens. Unfortunately, Owens' life is a bad reality show lately. Reid encountered his fair share of problems with Owens over the years, but he is known to give players second chances. Owens hauled in 14 touchdowns in a single season back when he played for the Eagles and current receiver DeSean Jackson caught only four touchdown passes last season.  Jackson is set for a bounce-back year in 2012, but the addition of Owens could add a beneficial explosive quality to the Eagles, despite Owens'  repeatedly destructive history.

Andy Reid does his best Ron Jeremy, Geraldo Rivera impersonation

Amidst the all the news swirling around about Eagles training camp, and injuries and what not, I couldn’t help but notice that Andy Reid is approaching Ron Jeremy status with his walrus-like mustache (if it even qualifies as a mustache), and is quickly closing in on one of the worst mustaches of all time, right up there with Geraldo Rivera. Someone should tell Big Red that the...

Eagles Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Rocks Green Mohawk, Goatee

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie loves to do crazy things with his hair. Back when he was with the Arizona Cardinals, he rocked a nice red mohawk. Now DRC seems to be doing something similar again as he arrived to Philadelphia Eagles practice Friday rocking a green mohawk and goatee. Well, I guess it looked like a mohawk. It creates the illusion, but it really isn’t.  But what is...

Eagles DE Brandon Graham Brimming With Confidence, Eyeing Starting Job

Eagles DE Brandon Graham has come into camp brimming with confidence and looking noticeably more svelte. Now feeling 100% and coming off a great summer, Graham is surprising even himself.
