lack of competition
is making me lose a bit of interest in the season. it feels like preseason. i wish we could play the saints again.
He is
but I also find him extremely funny, mostly by accident. In the article he talks about the media going after Rex Grossman solely because he’s white. That’s comedy gold right there. I look forward to his show in which he posits that Rick Mirer’s skin color is the only thing holding up his Hall of Fame induction.
Desean is not a decoy! The other players doing well will help him get open this week.
Rush Limbaugh owning Rams will affect Eagles!

i still think its ridiculous that Rush lost his job on ESPN because of what he said about McNabb
I guess in one sense i do understand because you just can’t say stuff like that in this world, but i dont really think what he said was a racial attack. He merely said that America was rooting for McNabb because he was black.
Brent Celek is the man
He said McNabb wasn’t good and was only viewed as good solely because he’s black. In what universe is there nothing racial to that statement?
I agree, Brent Celek is the man. I look forward to next year when we have 2 healthy top flight TEs, an experienced Maclin, DeSean, LeSean, D-Mac. We’re going to be able to terrorize the NFL with that Offense.
I totally disagree with the mans comments, but i dont think they were any more racist than anything said by al sharpton, or jesse jackson,,, or Kanye West for that matter. Yet Rush is the only “racist” among them. I have a problem with that
Brent Celek is the man
Right, because we all remember Jesse Jackson, Sharpton and Kanye on MNF…
What? Sir, let me introduce you to the “straw man” argument. You just used it. It’s a favorite amongst conservatives just like Rush Limbaugh.
Dude said that because a black kid happened to beat up a white kid on a schoolbus, that “this is what happens in Obama’s America”
Tell me that’s not race baiting. Go ahead.

Did Rush say that? If so, then to me that is a different story than the mcnabb comment. I was not defending rush in any way. Quite frankly i cant stand the man. I just thought his Mcnabb comment (and im a huge 5 fan) was blown way out of proportion. Was rush on MNF? I thought he was just at espn for analysis
why was he on espn in the first place? what does he know about football?
and Dennis Miller too. Dont know why they pick some of these people

I have to agree with 700 here nothing about Rush’s comments about McNabb were racist.
"I think what we’ve had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn’t deserve…The defense carried this team."
The same can be said for Obama winning the presidency, there is no doubt that there was strong bids by the media to push “First Black President” down our throats.
and fuck you guys for making me defend Rush Limbaugh.

thanks for the love whodie
you crack me up dude.
But yea, the obama presidency and the push by the media is very similar to what Rush said about mcnabb
Brent Celek is the man
For the record neither 700 nor I
made any assertion about Rush being racist. 700 said it wasn’t a racial attack. My point was that since Rush’s entire argument revolved around McNabb being black, it’s impossible not to consider it a racial attack.
Had Rush simply said “McNabb gets a lot of credit that should go to the Eagles D for their success. I don’t think he’s as good as the media is hyping him to be.” Rush would likely have caused no stir at all, and I would not view his comment as racially biased. I would actually agree somewhat with that statement. Instead Rush posited that McNabb’s status was based ENTIRELY on his race. That is ridiculous, as McNabb’s stats up to that point supported that he was an above average QB. If you factor in that he was stuck throwing to Stinkston, and Mitchell, I think it makes his numbers more impressive.
I do think Rush may be racist because of other statements (the one posted above and his statement that slavery had its merits, for two), but that was not what I was discussing here.
Rush is an extremist with a big mouth. yeah he’s funny, i laugh every time he cries about Obama. big mouth with no solutions, yes- the world is full of people who criticize. I hope he gets voted off or out-bid.
big mouth with no solutions
Wait didnt they just give the noble peace prize to someone like that?

big mouth with no solutions
They gave the Nobel Peace Prize to JIBTA?

lol nice touch on the 700 club
but i hate that stuff just as much. And i’m not really right wing by all that much.
But you have to agree that the noble peace prize was a little ridiculous. What has the man done so far while in office?
Brent Celek is the man
in addition to that
its hard for you to talk about negaitve PR when basically 75% of the national media is extremely liberal.
I mean, they wouldnt even show replay’s of Obama’s first pitch because it wasn’t becoming of the man. The liberal meida protects the president as much as the secret service does.

So who did you vote for last November. You’re not mad that your candidate lost or anything, huh?
by UnclaimedFright on Oct 13, 2009 7:03 PM EDT up reply actions
he aint a righty – perhaps a libertarian ??? it doesnt bother what political stance you take, common sense rules my world.
I didnt vote for Obama but i didnt really like McCain either
but all this aside, and I’m not the Obama hater you color me as… am I the only one who thought the noble peace prize was ridiculous?
No one has answered that question yet
Brent Celek is the man
ridiculous
he should have to do something more than “inspiring hope and reaching out to the Muslim world”.
If the hope materializes into action, and the Muslim world responds and we have good relations with them, go ahead and give him the Prize. Until then…
then again, yassar arafat got it…not really a peaceful man, if you ask me. I don’t know how much the prize means at this point.
Anyone know if the Eagles-Giants game is still nationally televised? Because if it isn’t…I have to watch Rams-Lions. sob
"Backs in the 'I'...First and 10...McNabb, play action. Is back again. He is looking..he is going deep. He wants DeSean Jackson..who HAS IT!!! HE HAS IT!!! AND STEPPED INTO THE ENDZONE!! He took it away from the defender!! He took it away from Dominique Rogers-Cromarte, and ran into the endzone!!"

idk was wondering the same
the comcast guide says TBD… and i for one find that ominous…

The local networks generally don’t make their decisions as to which game they’re going to show (if there’s no home market game) until a week or so in advance of the game.
With the weapons we have teams won’t be able to just lock down on desean all day. he will get his balls and everything will be fine.
yea exactly. now teams know that if they double team Desean they have to worry about Maclin, and if they start worrying about them two too much…Westbrook will be making moves in the slot
Shalom Iggles Fans
I’m a Broncos fan, and I’d just like to thank you guys for letting Dawk and Buckhalter go. They’re awesome, but so are you guys. I know December 27 we have to visit Philadelphia. Hopefully, we’ll have a playoff spot secured by that point. The Iggles are one of my alternate favorite teams, so good luck to you. It’s nice to see Donovan’s doing well again. I listen to WIP at work all the time and Howard Eskin’s a really funny guy as well as a solid radio man. In fact, I called into his show one time and he gave me an impromptu interview for about 15 minutes. Keep up the good work on this blog and feel free to visit Mile High Report. Oh yes, you should thank us for beating the Cowboys for you. Tony Romo is gay. Late.
