Crazy Day Off for Eagles... back to work Wednesday...

Found August 01, 2012 on Eagles Eye: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Chris Polk,  LeSean McCoy,  Vinny Curry,  Mike Kafka,  Fletcher Cox,  Trent Edwards,  Dion Lewis,  Stanley Havili,  Bryce Brown,  Emil Igwenagu,  Jeremy Stewart,  Andy Reid
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
To be honest not really a day off, as teammates and coaches were in meetings all day... but a day off in the sense it gives guys 24 hours to assess their sore bodies and put together a plan to avoid unnecessary pain today...Too bad that notion does not apply to WR Ron Johnson, who was unceremoniously waived by the team with a relatively paltry injury settlement of $60,000 for the "Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma'am" award of the day. Geez, thanks for letting us destroy your Eagle dreams, Ron... oh, and here's a little somethin'...and by the way, Sonbutts could use a car wash, wax and detail on his Infiniti if you need a little extra cash...I jest somewhat...but it is a cruel business, this NFL, especially if you don't have brand-name recognition...I stumbled upon this little photographic gem of Monday's practice which I titled "WHY?"... Philadelphia Eagles running backs Chris Polk (32) and LeSean McCoy, right, block each other during NFL football tr...
