A bit of a developing story, but many Eagles fans are fuming about the Eagles refusal to publish a season ticket waiting list. Apparently many fans have been promised one for over a year now. Fans want to know why they can never get tix, but online scalpers like Razorgator get thousands from the team. (Concrete Field)

Movies

In no particular order, but fairly close to how I'd put them 1-10:

Slap Shot, Rocky, The Natural, Friday Night Lights, Invincible, Eight Men Out, Caddyshack, Jerry Maguire, Bull Durham, Hoosiers

Anyone who hasn't seen Slap Shot needs to find it and watch it this weekend. One of the funniest movies ever.

I wondered how Mighty Ducks 2 wasn't on anyone's list?

Illegitimate Kids

Buckhalter has a supposed kid in Nebraska, complete with a child-support payment suit he lost. Or maybe he's just the potential daddy with the most jing.

I noticed he wasn't on there

He does apparently have a DNA test that proves he's not the father... that's a very odd situation.

YEah

That's why I posted it. I think it's a serious issue that doesn't get enough exposure. It's a real problem.

The other side of the coin.

I don't mean to disagree with you guys at all, because both the lack of an organized waiting list and the whole Razorgator thing are both bullcrap, but I do want to look on the bright side of this for a second.

In a way, I'm thankful that the team has these problems -- because these are the problems of a good team. I could phone in an order for tickets the week of a game, and probably even walk right up to the Vet on gameday in '99 and get tickets. The team sucked, and there just wasn't the demand that there is today.

I've had longstanding plans to go to Baltimore Inner Harbor on Saturday, going to an Orioles at the end of the day. I'm so frustrated with the Orioles, for whom finding painful ways of blowing games has become an art form and losing seasons the norm, that I'm debating whether I want to spend $20 on two Orioles tickets, or find another way to spend the evening. And, since I know every other Orioles fan feels the same, the idea of buying tickets in advance has never even crossed my mind, because I know I can walk up, get great seats in a gorgeous ballpark and probably be one of 20,000 or less people there -- and that's being generous.

I know I can't directly compare the demand for baseball tickets compared to the NFL -- but if Peter Angelos tried to sell O's tickets on Razorgator, they'd laugh in his face. We have these problems because the team's been so consistently good.

Come on Eagles, win a superbowl and you can screw us worse next year, and we'll be happy about it!

Sorry, slow day at work...

True

Also, BTW I got into Camden yards for 8 bucks last summer because I was wearing orange.

I suppose

That's to be expected after the injury. At least he didn't gain alot of fat.

Frankly, I've also thought McNabb gets himself a bit too muscled. I've been told by fitness freaks that getting as bulky as McNabb does sometimes can sometimes make it easier to get hurt.

totally agree...

I miss the mcnabb that you see in the highlight video juking the redskins players for a 40 yrd td. Look at trotter... he's dropping weight because he says it will save his knees and maybe add a couple years to his career
