Yardbarker: Brent Celek

If you're gonna fly across the country and see the Eagles drop one...

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:22:36 -0500

...San Diego ain't a bad place to do it. I've now seen the Eagles play on the road four times in the last three seasons—in Green Bay, New England, and Seattle. They've won exactly one of them. I'm sure you don't forget the can't-field-a-kick season opener in GB, nor the near win in Foxboro when the Birds were 20+ underdogs against the undefeated Pats, then when they went out and beat the Seahawks in Brent Celek's coming out party. Invariably, after I get home from ...

CELEK HAD A LI’L CAPTAIN IN HIM

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:02:08 -0500

Eagles tight end and fantasy stud Brent Celek could face a fine from the NFL after striking “the Captain Morgan pose” in last week’s game against the Cowboys. Celek denies striking the pose intentionally, [cough...bullshi...cough] but an account executive at the Captain’s parent company, Diaego refuted that claim, saying that it was part of a [...]

Learning experience for Cowboys

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:40:14 -0500

The misadventures of the Philadelphia Eagles allowed Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips and his staff to remind players to avoid post-touchdown excessive-celebrations penalties. In Sunday's game, Philadelphia wide receiver Jason Avant received an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty after tight end Brent Celek's 11-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. According to Yahoo!sports.com, Avant was penalized for helping Celek strike the ``Captain Morgan'' pose: one leg up with a ha...

In Which The NFL Gets A Little Captain In Them

Sure this Cowboys-Eagles game is entertaining, but why do I suddenly have the urge to loot the Spanish West Indies? That’s Eagles tight end Brent Celek there striking a pose, with the help of teammate Jason Avant following Celek’s TD reception on Sunday night. Guzzlers of fine rum recognized it immediately as the Captain Morgan [...]

NFL Does Not Want a Little Captain in It

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:00:00 -0500

by Josh AlperFiled under: Eagles, NFC East, NFL Media WatchWhen Eagles tight end Brent Celek scored a touchdown on Sunday night, he celebrated his touchdown by putting his hands on his hips and raising his right leg off the ground. You may not have thought anything of it at the time, but now you'll understand why you spent the rest of the night craving a glass of spiced rum. Celek's celebration was actually a pretty nifty bit of guerilla marketing by Captain Morgan, which offered to d...

Brent Celek's "Captain" Pose Was Part of "Guerrilla-Style Advertising Campaign"

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:01:05 -0500

Brent Celek's touchdown celebration in which he demonstrated he does in fact have a little Captain in him was received with mixed feelings. Personally, I thought nothing of it. If you score a TD for the Eagles, you can do anything you want for all I care as long as it doesn't cost your fifteen yards (which Celek's celebration actually did thanks to Jason Avant). As it turns out, Celek's Captain pose wasn't just a spur of the moment celebration but rather part of a larger &...

Celek is latest weapon to emerge for Philly

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:00:10 -0500

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin are big-time deep threats on the edge for quarterback Donovan McNabb. All-pro running back Brian Westbrook has been among the game's best all-around performers for some time. Now, tight end Brent Celek is emerging as another force on offense. In five games, the third-year player has 30 receptions for 378 yards (a 12.6-yard average) and two touchdowns. The Redskins have noticed, secondary coach Jerry Gray said. "They ...

OH! By the way, Six Eagles fined for that TD celebration

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:51:42 -0500

You 'member how I was kinda miffed that the refs/NFL were all hot and bothered that DeSean Jackson's tuckus touched the ground during the celebration in the end zone after Brent Celek's touchdown? But then they didn't really care about the Panthers' late hit on Donovan McNabb, who had scored and was on the ground when he was piled upon? Remember that? Well, to further confuse me as to what is most sacred in the league and conversely what is most vile, the NFL ...

Little John Smith is a Clown

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 07:44:36 -0500

Eagles soon to be outta here Tight End is so vain that he has to wear his shades indoors. The sun must always be shining on Little John. He is also wearing a shirt that says "FAMOUS" across the front. I guess when you are somewhat known you have to point it out to everybody so they recognize you. He could at least get some cool looking glasses, and not those "Porsche" Cop 'jawns'. He looks like a "CHiPs" reject. ..Read More>>

My 2 Cents on Fans, TEs, and Trot

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 21:20:34 -0500

It was nice to finally get out there in a game situation last week. I liked the way the team responded to the excitement in the atmosphere. For a preseason game, the fans were amazing and me and the other guys fed off that energy. Keep it up! I've had a number of people ask me about the tight end situation. Matt Schoebel and Brent Celek played well the other night. It was nice for Matt and me to hook up on that long pass (I teased him about not getting into the end zone!). Brent has looked good for a rookie and will continue to improve. What we need is for L.J. Smith to come back healthy. He is a great weapon and gives our offense a dimension that cannot be duplicated by anyone else. Before anyone asks, I think we will miss Jeremiah Trotter. I will miss him as a good friend. He's also a great player who played with great emotion that other players fed off of. You can not have enough players like that. Like L.J., he brings something to the table that cannot be duplicated by anyone else.
