Found March 17, 2009 on Stet Sports Blog:
We knew that the Baltimore Ravens were eyeing a tight end, possibly to be found in the draft. But now the word is that the Ravens have agreed in principle to a one-year contract with former Philadelphia Eagles tight end L.J. Smith. Initially, it looks like a replacement for Todd Heap, who had a diminished role [...]

  • what a bad signing he is a heartless coward.
  • L J was a stiff....averaged 2 yards after the catch and fumbled regularly...he was stealin' money from the Eagles...now he will steal $1.5 from the ravens....I can't believe we franchised that stiff last year...what a waste
  • what the F#@%!

    this guy is a bumb. to think that the ravens has S. Sharpe as a TE. now they have L.J. Smith.

    I call this a downgrade. why did they not sign stewie to be the TE. he would do a better job than smith

Eagles need Anquan

Anquan is a big, strong, fast, and talented reciever. Unlike recievers in the past (except for T.O.) the Eagles haven't had a big and strong reciever.

Also they could move Kevin Curtis to the slot, where hes played before, opening up little short passes for big gains. Jason Avant could get...

McNabb?

Why is McNabb waiting to ask for a trade? Does he know something or is the FO blowing smoke up his backside? I would think that with the off-season so far that McNabb has to see the Eagles aren't going to give him any help so wouldn't he want to be traded now so he has time to learn a new offense. I know the FO has to want to trade him and they probaly don't want to but...

Naming Rights Gone Bad

We've seen numerous examples over the years of stadium and arena naming rights deals sold to corporations that for one reason or another a team wishes had never happened. Who can forget Enron Park (now, the memorable? Minute Maid Park) or the three names that the Baltimore Ravens stadium has had, only to wind up the eminently forgettable M&T Bank Stadium. There is the TD...
