Keys to the Game: Eagles at Chicago Bears

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:44:00 -0500

McDermott: Wipe that stupid smile off his face tonight.Playing the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football. Playing under the lights, McNabb heading back to his old stomping grounds on a nationally televised game -- What in the world could possibly make this game any worse?Oh, well, how about the fact that the team we haven't been able to beat over the past two years anyway, now has a legitimate threat at quarterback? Yeah, I guess that could make it worse.Call me a pessimist but the Eagle...

Eagles Week 11 Report — Thursday

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:29:15 -0500

Like we stated yesterday, the chances of Sheldon Brown playing were better than the report from Domowitch. Brown practiced today, albeit on a limited basis. Not so encouraging signs from Akeem Jordan, who is still unable to practice. He isn’t giving up on playing this week, but things aren’t looking good. Which brings us to Joe Mays, [...]

Eagles Week 11 Report — Wednesday

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:52:45 -0500

Sheldon Brown gave reporters the indication that he’ll be ready to play on Sunday, despite not practicing today. His hamstring strain appears to be minor. Jason Peters returned to practice today, though Andy Reid said he’s not completely healthy (is any player at this point?). Not practicing — Akeem Jordan, though he could play on Sunday. Kevin [...]

Defensive difficulties

PHILADELPHIA - Sheldon Brown was asked by a reporter after practice Wednesday if he'd be surprised to learn that teammate Joselio Hanson had taken steroids.

Eagles will miss Johnson's intensity

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:09:17 -0500

PHILADELPHIA - While the Eagles continue to run Jim Johnson's defense, they've missed his intensity this week while preparing for the hated Cowboys. Johnson died in July after a bout with cancer. In a story in Saturday's Philadelphia Inquirer describing how the Eagles' rookies are getting their first taste of this old rivalry - this is the 100th meeting - cornerback Sheldon Brown described how Johnson would take it up several notches during Cowboys week. "I can remembe...

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown responds to NY Giants wide receiver Steve Smith

Disagrees with Smith's saying the Eagles leave players 'wide open'

CB Brown Playing Hurt

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 09:05:58 -0500

As the Philly Inquirer reports, CB Sheldon Brown is playing at less than 100 percent: You won’t find Sheldon Brown’s name anywhere on the Eagles’ injury report, but that doesn’t mean he’s not playing hurt. After being a full participant in practice yesterday, the veteran cornerback unwrapped protective padding from his right hand and he confirmed [...]

Halloweening Cost Sheldon Brown $10k

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:37:43 -0500

We all figured it was coming... The league isn't much for prop comedy, so it's no surprise to learn that Sheldon Brown has been fined for wearing a Jason-style goalie mask during player introductions at the Linc last Sunday. ESPN's Adam Schefter tweets that the cost to Brown will be $10,000. Money is a strange and relative thing, ain't it? Think of all you could do with $10,000 besides wear a mask for a minute. Charity work, decadence & debauchery, a new kitchen, down paym...

Sheldon Brown's Jason mask failed to scare Drew Brees

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:42:00 -0500

If you happened to miss it yesterday, Eagles defensive back Sheldon Brown(notes) took the field yesterday wearing a mask like the one worn by the evil Jason in the "Friday the 13th" movies. It was kinda scary, I guess, but would've been much scarier if Brown's real head was in the helmet he was carrying down at his side. Was there a significance to the mask? Apparently so, but Sheldon's not telling anyone what it is. From 950 ESPN's post-game quotes: "I d...

So What Was The Deal With Sheldon Brown's 'Jason Mask' During Pregame Introductions?

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:34:20 -0500

Brian Dawkins is a hero in this town and his pregame antics during introductions, from crawling onto the field doing somersaults to showing of his biceps to the world, were things of legend. Dawkins is no longer with the Birds so who would be the man to step in as the crazy man coming out of the tunnel? Turns out Sheldon Brown took that honor and brought a prop with him. Now, I'm not a horror movie fan, so perhaps I'm missing something, but I didn't really get the mask that She...

Sheldon Brown Says Don’t Panic

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 07:20:47 -0500

I love how we (myself included) start reaching for razor blades after watching the Eagles flop during the exhibition season. More often than not, Andy Reid’s charges have looked bad rather than good during the month of August. Some coaches place a greater emphasis on the games that don’t count, but Reid is not [...]

Eagles CB's Sheldon Brown, Ellis Hobbs Will Compete

Sat, 27 Jun 2009 22:40:14 -0500

Cornerback Sheldon Brown asked to be traded in the offseason after the Eagles refused to redo the four years left on his contract. He was a no-show...

Sheldon Brown: Eagles treat me like a red headed stepchild

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 20:07:14 -0500

After the Eagles responded to a trade demand by Sheldon Brown with some of the harshest language used against a player in years, Brown is speaking out.

Apparently Brian Dawkins and Tra Thomas aren’t the only players who have felt mistreated and unappreciated by the Eagles’ front office.

Speaking with the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Les Bowen earlier this evening, Brown stated that he’s “always been treated like the redheaded stepchild, ever since I was drafted.” He was reacting to a statement released by the Eagles that adamantly denied his trade request and reiterated he is under contract for another four seasons...

It seems like Eagles might have an offer ready for Boldin?

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:01:05 -0500

It seems to be that the Eagles are getting ready to make an really big offer for Aquan Boldin. The Cardinal s anounced today that they are shopping Boldin, and I think the Eagles have been ready for this and have their triggers cocked this time. I believe that they might send Sheldon Brown and a 2nd or maybe a third for him. Which will definitly sound good to the Cardinals. It is just a possiblity but it is a real good possibility.
