Yardbarker: Sheldon Brown

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...

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 [...]

A Jason Mask During Player Introductions? That'll Be 10 Grand

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:18:30 -0500

Eagles corner Sheldon Brown wore a Jason mask during player introductions last Sunday before kickoff against the Saints. Whatever the intended effect it was supposed to have on New Orleans that day, and Sheldon was never particularly specific on that point, it clearly didn't work, as the Saints dropped 48 on Philly on the road. But the mask did make Roger Goodell's hair stand on end, though not as much out of fright as him thinking "one of these insolent underlings has the audac...

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 [...]

Brookover: Idiot Reporter Extraordinaire

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:02:54 -0500

McNabb is reportedly close to getting his new deal. Brookover said this today on his Philadelphia Inquirer blog: If this report is true, cornerback Sheldon Brown has every right to be seething in South Carolina right now, because he is underpaid by cornerback standards.Are you kidding me? Franchise QB with 2 years (one essentially) left on his contract vs. dependable but replaceable #2 CB with 4 years left on his contract… no comparison.And with Sheldon not showing up to voluntary workouts, e...

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.
