Roster of the Worst Free Agent Contracts (2000-2004)

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 07:54:19 -0500

It's a tough economy out there. We all know that by now. But it's obvious to note that baseball is completely different than the real world. I thought it would be fun to make a roster comprised solely of terrible free agent contracts. Contract extensions need not apply.My original intention was to create a roster made up of the worst free agent contracts of the decade (2000-2009). But teams have given out so many horrific contracts over the years that the only way for me to comprise a...

Eagles Offseason: Receivers

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 18:11:03 -0500

Because it just wouldn't be the Eagles if we didn't talk about wide receivers, and in this case, tight ends too.On a positive note, the situation no longer is so bad that it's crippling.? In fact, unlike the times of Torrance Small, Charles Johnson, James Thrash, and Todd Pinkston, this ...

Donovan McNabb Eats Excellently

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 18:33:19 -0500

Donovan stopped off in the Phoenix suburbs in 2001 to visit teammate Charles Johnson after returning from the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. McNabb liked the heat so much he decided to make Arizona home. The Inquirer details everything you could possibly want to know about the posh suburb McNabb lives in ...

McNabb Needs Westbrook

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 09:29:42 -0500
Note to Donovan...make sure B-West is at the top of your Christmas shopping list. Donovan is a pretty special talent himself, but his performance sure does go up a notch when there is #36 to lean on. McNabb used to be the catalyst for the Eagles offense. You could give the man Charles Johnson, James Thrash, or Todd Pinkston and it wouldn't matter. McNabb in turn would give you wins and Pro Bowl stats.But with age and injuries things change. McNabb is still a top talent at the QB position,...

EvanLongoria.com Redirects To Online Ticket Broker

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 04:04:06 -0500
I don’t remember this story getting much play at the time, but the fellas from The Heater talked to Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays about “EvanLongoria.com” being available on EBay for $25,000. Longoria didn’t think much of his name being auctioned off in August. Longoria laughed when he heard about it Friday. "That's weird," [...] Related posts:BLOGGAS BE TYPIN The 10 PR commandments.

There’s Been A Kordell Stewart Sighting

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:38:48 -0500
I'm a Kordell Stewart fan. There, I said it. And I am not ashamed to admit that publicly. I like Kordell Stewart. Not in a "Brokeback Quarterback" kind of way, not that there's anything wrong with that. But my admiration for Kordell is the simple, innocent, pure kind of fandom which teenagers all around Pittsburgh feel toward current Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. The Steel Dynasty of the 1970's won their last Super Bowl the same year I began kindergarten. The next deca...

FRIDAY'S FORECAST

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:10:53 -0500

The start of football games is upon us and this weekend features the Hall of Fame Game between the Washington Redskins and the Indy Colts.

A FEW RULES FOR PRESEASON GAME-WATCHING

Don't forget to make sure you know the level of competition in the game -- who is playing against whom.

Always look for the one in the position of personal protector on the second punt team -- he has a good chance to make the team in a third or fourth string role.

Study who is on ALL the kicking teams and know who makes tackles in that area.

This weekend, the games are about players, not schemes. Players should not make many mental mistakes. If they do, they are not going to make the team.

Have a computer near your TV. If a player makes a play, search his background and study how he got to the team.

Players that jump offsides are either tired or not concentrating.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN THE GAME

Don't judge the Colts as a team, because their full team won't be playing. Focus on offensive left tackle Tony Ugoh. See if he has gotten any better and if he can handle the second-team defensive ends of the Skins. He better be able to do that....

How does Charles Johnson handle the starting role as the new right guard?

How does Mike Pollack play?

How does Fred Davis block in pass protection and the running game?

How do the Skins' back-up offensive linemen look? Can they block the back-up DLs of the Colts?

How well does the Skins' DS tackle?

It's Andy Reid's Fault, Don't Blame McNabb

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 07:47:16 -0500
January 11, 1999 was the day Andy Reid was hired. September 7, 2008 will mark his 10th straight year as coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and the biggest season of his career. That is a feat not many men have accomplished, especially in Philadelphia, where we chew up coaches and spit them out. For 10 years, we've watched Andy turn around this franchise from the laughing stock Rich Kotite and Ray Rhodes left us with. Very few coaches have ever had the kind of success he has. Four...
