Asante Samuel is Sheldon Brown's new teammate

THE Sheldon Brown

I saw this on Iggles Blog over the weekend and got such a laugh out of it. Les Bowen asked Sheldon Brown his thoughts on the Asante Samuel signing.

"They got a great player in Asante Samuel," Brown said of the Eagles. "Fans should be proud of that."

As to what this means for Brown or Sheppard, Brown said: "I have no idea. I haven't spoken to anybody. It would have been nice, if [Samuel] is going to be Sheldon Brown's teammate, for them to give me a chance to meet him."

Brown said that he had spoken with Sheppard, that Sheppard was "fine with it," and wasn't particularly anticipating a trade. He said he couldn't see players being jealous of Samuel's paycheck.

"He's a free agent . . . You can't have resentment toward the player," Brown said.

JasonB agrees with Sheldon Brown. If JasonB was going to be blogging with a new blogger at BGN, it would be nice for JasonB to have the chance to meet him.

I sure hope when Sheldon Brown meets Asante Samuel that Sheldon Brown likes him, and that he likes Sheldon Brown.

dude

I'm in the library and started laughing out loud when you went in third person. Hilarious!!!

And they may not be jealous of Samuel's contract now, but let one of them have a year comparable to whatever numbers samuel puts up next year and I bet the story changes dramatically.

Its a new season!

Since when...

did Sheldon become such a dick? I mean he's got a free pass from me for life after he destroyed Bush, but it seems like everything out of his mouth (and into the newspapers) nowadays makes him look like an angry young man.

It kinda does

But I have to admit that I cracked up when I read him speaking in 3rd person.

Totally off topic but...

It seems that the shit is going to fit the fan in Wisconsin... It seems that the Packers may not have wanted Favre back...

"I think he wanted to play," Cook said. " I think he's still got it. He knows he's still got it. I think he felt he could play one more year. I don't know if they told him they really wanted him to play. That's just the feeling I got." -From Favre's agent

Ted Thompson better have an intern starting his car from now on... Check out the full story at PFT.

Another off topic

But has anyone heard anything about when Felix Jones (McFaddens backup) may be going in the draft? Just thinking but he's done some returning in his college career, has had some decent amount of carries and he's fast, strong, and puts up good yards when he touches the ball. Maybe it's just me but I think it might be nice to have him in the mix. Another RB that can catch, return and maybe a possible replacement for Westbrook after a few years of learning the ropes from the great one. Just a thought, anyone else have thoughts on that?

I've heard

Anywhere from late first to late second.

Nice player, but...

The Eagles won't be taking him at #19 (way too early for Jones). They will be looking O-Line and possibly secondary, and by the time comes for their 2nd round pick he will likely be gone. Just doesn't seem like it could work, unless the dynamics change.

On the other hand, you could make the argument that the Eagles won't be spending an early draft pick on a running back since they already have a stud -- but there's this guy named Kevin Kolb on the roster right now who disproves that.

As an update

Some sources of mine in Philly have told me that Sheldon has been acting strange lately. It seems that he's been spotted running around in pruple crushed velvet suits with a large hat and a cane, bitch slappin' hos. He's also been seen in the company of this
guy...

I just found this little nugget. I know alot of people that read this blog are college football fans as well, and probably alot of PSU fans (me not included), but if you like PSU and wonder what "might" be in future for your school's football program....
