Eagles players dreading Lehigh
I happened to catch a few quotes that I found pretty funny in a recent article about a charity golf outing Brian Dawkins put on. As it turned out, Dawkins scheduled the outing at the Saucon Valley Country Club which is too close to Lehigh for some players...
''On the way up [from South Jersey], I was like 'This is a bad drive. I remember this road,''' safety J.R. Reed said.
''I wasn't even there last year because I didn't sign with them until later, but I remember it from the year before. It's a gloomy ride. But you're excited when that time [to report to camp] comes.''
''No -- I don't want to see those fields for a while,'' safety Quintin Mikell said. ''If I could get away with not coming up for camp, I would. But it is a necessary evil.''
I gotta say, I was sweaty and tired after a day just watching practice up there... So I can understand why some of these guys are dreading it.
That said, it can't come soon enough!

It shows that the physical side of the preparation is intense. Being very fit is a great advantage in every sport, even if youre not always on the field like u are in rugby or soccer. Just ask Tiger how much fitness helps him in an ‘unfit’ sport.
The NFC East goes through Philly.
Hey speaking of a BGN meetup
Training Camp would be the ideal place for that!
My summer is super flexible… if thats something you guys are into, lets do it!
Concretefield can suck it
Definitely make an announcement… I work like 10 minues from Lehigh, so I can zip on over. Also, I concur with Leon… I would rather them saying stuff like this… It wouldn’t make me feel too good if their replies were along the lines of, “Pfftt, camp’s no big deal. Most of the time we just lay around in reclining chairs in the sun and drink Pina Coladas”
