Around SBN: Africa Cup Of Nations Semifinal: Black Stars Ripe For Upset?

FYI: Brian Dawkins is still awesome

Photo

The man still bleeds green.

The sweat had barely dried on his skin when Brian Dawkins sent Quintin Mikell a text message Sunday. Denver had just beaten Dallas after the Broncos' defense denied Tony Romo a couple of strikes into the end zone. Dawkins was pumped, as the television cameras showed.

He still hates the Cowboys. And he still loves the Eagles.

You're welcome, Dawkins texted his former protégé. You're welcome.

He had a message for Eagles fans as well.

"Make sure you tell those Philly fans hello," Dawkins said, "and you're welcome."

I still am not down for posting pics of #20 in orange...

I watched that game

And was cheering for Dawk and the Broncos like a mug. Also, the way he played in that game…makes me think we should have signed him.

Call me curious… but what exactly does that mean?

And yeah we shoulda re-signed him

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

like a mug

urban talk, nicer, more decent way of saying “like a Mo Fo”, (just look at those first two letters, and you’ll figure it out)

If you can’t figure out what I’m saying, maybe someone will just come out and say it for me. But I refuse to type what “Mug” is used to substitute.

Just they way people use “Shoot” to substitute something else, got it? Good.

Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!

Correct

I didn’t want to say I was cheering for them like I would the Eagles, cause that’s not right. So had to use something else.

Heh heh

Romo must’ve seen #20 in the backfield and had a horrific flashback to two forced-fumbles caused by that guy returned for TDs last December. No wonder he didn’t know what down it was.

by ajay on Oct 9, 2009 7:18 AM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, looking back

He might have lost a step in coverage…but he had a nose for the big play, and could strip the ball like no one else…man, I miss that guy!

if you think it's misty now...

I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when the Broncos come to play in Philly in December. Especially if both teams are in the hunt, which likely they will.

How do you wish Brian Dawkins to have a poor game? Is that even possible?

by Bisch on Oct 9, 2009 11:17 AM EDT up reply actions  

hopefullly hes sitting out that game with a minor injury...

or he does the right thing and makes himself inactive for that game lol…

but.. I definitely DO NOT want to see any game changing weapon X plays against us nor do I want to see him lay the wood on Djack…

but.. I definitely DO NOT want to see any game changing weapon X plays against us nor do I want to see him lay the wood on Djack…I don’t even want to see his speed exploiting in coverage…I love him too much.

Love it

It was great to see Dawkins make that game-saving-tackle near the end of the Dallas-Denver game but it’s even better knowing that he was thinking in the back of his mind about not only wanting to beat the Cowboys for his own team, but to help his old team out at the same time.

“Make sure you tell those Philly fans hello,” Dawkins said, “and you’re welcome.”

Thank you Dawk. Thank you.

game saving tackle

That tackle was ridiculous. He came from the other side of the field, went around a Denver LB, and closed/flew onto Sam Hurd in like 2 steps, AND he kept him in bounds, forcing Dallas to call timeout. Check it 2:30 mark here:

Dawk

GREATEST EAGLE OF ALL TIME!

….and I don’t want to hear one argument against this.

by 5 plus 10 equals 6 on Oct 9, 2009 3:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

I had a feeling that deep inside Dawk really wanted this one because he knew it would help the Eagles. Thank You Dawk!

Ugh!

I hate them letting Dawk go even more now! =(
That was a mistake, Reid and Banner knows it.

Romo was at least a bit happy after the game knowing its only one game this year he sees him instead of 2

I hate you Brian Dawkins.

I need you to suck and be a total sore person, just so I can hate you and get over your departure.

Please stop doing these kind things, and showing us how good a person you are and how loyal you are to Philadelphia, even though you were orange and blue now. You need to start losing a step and start getting burnt, just so that we can say we made the right move.

I am sick and tired of looking back and what was and wondering what it would be now. You must stop being an example to all athletes and citizens and just people.

Start being a jerk, just so I can hate you! Please!

I hate you just for not doing this, just becuase you are making feel these strange feelings I’ve never felt before, (admiration for another teams player). And it is making sick to my stomach, and causing me strife and confusion.

Brian, you are like an Ex-Girlfriend who was really cool and nice to be with and really pretty. But you started to get fat, and we got worried that you might start to become your 300 pound sister. So we moved on, and got a new young girlfiend to take your place.

But the second you left, you went on a diet and got sexy again. Now you are the talk of talk, looking fine and classy as can be. But here I am stuck with this immature young girl that can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. And I’m starting to realize that she is starting to grow a gut as well. Yes Brian, you are the ex girlfriend that we want again, So, so badly. We really need to hate you and move on! So stop it already with the niceness, you are killing me here.

Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!

The man is beautiful

Dawkins WAS awesome, IS awesome, and WILL FOREVER BE AWESOME! Nomatter what color he wears, he will always be an eagle!!!

by TJ M on Oct 9, 2009 12:40 PM EDT reply actions  

He will always be my favorite player...

Nobody can take his spot…even though Stew has my heart right now. Everytime i see him in that ugly orange i think im colorblind….youtube is where i see my man in midnight green.

by ssean2266 on Oct 9, 2009 1:05 PM EDT reply actions  

Agreed

My favorite football player of all time. The reason I am now an Eagles fan.

its hard watching him

when he gets charged up after a big play and listening to him talk to the reporter after the game killed me cuz it just reminded me of all the pre game and post game speeches he gave … still sends chills down my spine when i hear them

by jdcvr6 on Oct 9, 2009 1:21 PM EDT reply actions  

The difference between Brian Dawkins is that he actually cares about the fans of Philadelphia

Brett Favre obviously couldn’t give a shit about the Packers fans. Dawkins still loves us.

And we will always love you, Brian.

on a side note.

Fuck Brett Farve.

The man is an attention whore and a Gay…I mean how could someone that has that many men sucking on his balls constantly not be considered a Homosexual….I mean shit…Berman, Dilfer and Gruden have to take turns sucking on those balls…he only has 2!

Please Brett….Get blindsided Tim Tebow style this year…PLEASE!

by 5 plus 10 equals 6 on Oct 9, 2009 3:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

I"m a bit tired

of seeing articles saying the Eagles cast off Dawkins.

Denver offered him big money and a multiyear contract the Eagles felt they couldn’t afford.

If Denver doesn’t make that offer, the Eagles sign him again.

Lesson learned? Don’t let productive icons hit the market. Extend beforehand.
