Giants won't be able to keep Ward and Jacobs, dammitt. Ward 's going the free agent route, but it would kill me seeing him on a hated division rival. Y'all leave Jerry Jones alone, he's handling the Cowboys just right, like Danny-Boy Snyder. |

I'm hearing on the sports-talk shows Donovan McNabb is telling friends he's had it and wants out of Philly. If it's true, I don't blame him. That town's hated him since draft day. He should go home to Chicago - the Bears could him.  |

I think he should leave too, and go somewhere he'll really be appreciated. He's been nothing but class since day one and people in Philly keep shittin' on him. | |

I hate my job. I think I'm gonna be scheduled to work SB weekend and who the hell is gonna switch with me. They have screwed me over on so many football weekends.

Get someone else to do punt return duties. I guess you'll sleep on Jackson until he leaves and begins his Pro-Bowl days elsewhere. I don't see a #1 WR as a pressing need for the Eagles. Doesn't hurt to upgrade the defense. You're getting confused between me and uPtoWnNY. Height is important, but it's not the end-all be-all IMO. Look at Steve Smith! Still, I think the Eagles desperately need a veteran #1 receiver -- someone who will make the tough catches and threaten the defense enough to game plan around him. I believe Jackson can be a #1, but I don't think he is right now. He's also a damned good punt returner, so I don't think they should take those duties away from him (for an example of how that can backfire, look what Chicago did with Devin Hester). If I were to name the best receivers right now, my list would include these guys (in no particular order): R. Moss T. Owens S. Smith L. Fitzgerald A. Boldin A. Johnson B. Marshall R. Wayne P. Burress W. Welker T. Houshmanzadah Calvin Johnson G. Jennings R. White M. Colston Not quite (IMO) L. Evans Santana Moss L. Coles D. Bowe Fading M. Harrison T. Holt H. Ward D. Mason Chad Johnson D. Driver The defense has been carrying the team and was the top D in the conference. Yes, there should be some tweaks, but I doubt they're going to blow the whole thing up. The linebackers were better this year, but there's still room for improvement. Another defensive end would also help. So you get a DE and a LB in the first round. There will be plenty of WR's even though the Top Five will get all the attention. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

Isn't that Correll's job? I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

Isn't that Correll's job? Nope. Buckhalter is about the same size as Westbreezy. The Eagles need a big back that can bang on 3/4 & 1 and bang it in from the 1. nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher

The receivers on the team (indeed, most of the offensive side) are pretty young. I still think they need to get a starting WR through free agency or a trade. I'm hoping for young defensive players and offensive linemen (specifically tackles) on draft day. Buckhalter is almost certainly gone. The team has remained loyal to him through his 3 season-ending knee injuries, but they just don't use him enough. He's going to go somewhere he can play more.

Sounds like Boldin wants out of Arizona. I expect the Eagles and Giants to make a push for him. Mutha's right - Eagles need a big power back to complement Westbrook. Jacobs would be a perfect fit, but the Giants are keeping him. |

I just heard on WFAN Dan Reeves wants to get back into coaching as the OC of the 49ers. Wild stuff. Supposedly, Herm's done with coaching for good, and is going back home. |

Yeah, he WILL be trying to bank old Al's ass!
Reaves just wants to be in football anyway he can and should be a cool fit for Mike and the 9ers. Herm's done? Nah, I think he's just saying that because it still stings right now and/or coaching has left a sour taste in his mouth. nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher

He's going to haunt Al until Al croaks or pays Shanahan the loot he owes him, whichever comes first. |

Shit, Herm needs to go home. Or better yet he can come here so I can console his non-coaching ass.
But I want to make it clear, that his lackluster coaching performance in NO way diminishes the FACT that I would fuck the taste outta Herm's mouf and call him Daddy while I did it. Just wanted to make that understood.
