Donovan McNabb, while always very careful in the words he chooses, doesn't hide his feelings about how he wants this season to end."We have a lot of new faces, and for me to sit
here and say, 'Hey, we're a Super Bowl team, and we're going to win the
Super,' I don't believe in all that," McNabb says.

Where in the world is Jeremy Maclin? In case you haven't noticed, first round picks are finally starting to reach agreements with their clubs, so it's reasonable to assume Maclin will be doing the same in the near-to-immediate future. Once he's in the fold, the coaches will be doing everything they can to prepare him to step onto the field right away.

I’ve said it before, but let me say it again: You will remember the name LeSean McCoy. The Harrisburg, PA native was electric in individual drills, as well as team drills.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Excuse Quintin Mikell if he knows the line of questioning he is about to face. A reporter lines him up and wants to know A) What it's like to be without safety Brian Dawkins and; B) What it's like to be without defensive coordinator. Mikell understands, he really does. For him, though, the challenge ahead is to be a better player and to have a better defense...

I thought one of the nicer moments from this morning’s activities down at Gillette Stadium involved Bill Belichick speaking about Philadelphia Eagles Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, who lost his battle with cancer earlier this week.
When Belichick was asked for his thoughts on Johnson, he said:
Jim’s probably as good a defensive coordinator as I’ve seen in...

Now, that the clock has turned from July to August, baseball takes a rest period as we decide to talk about football. And many of us have an inclination toward the fantastical news reports. And the strength of this research is in the sleeper. And I have a guy for you to play quarterback that can win you the league off of the waiver wire should disaster strike. It may sound crazy...

During the first day of full training camp several Eagles suffered injuries, sidelining them for portions of the workouts.
Shawn Andrews (back), roommate Jason Peters (quad), and cornerback Asante Samuel
(hamstring) all had to sit out Thursday afternoon's workout after
suffering injuries during the day's earlier workouts in the brutal
Lehigh Valley heat.
The three of...

Stop talking about Josh Freeman showing up cause each team has different rules and I'm uncertain of what Tampa Bay's team requirements are. Andy Reid already said this in an interview that he couldn't show up to camp unless he signed. It was on ESPN that he...
