Eagles' Demps tries to be his own man | Philadelphia Inquirer | 08/19/2009
Demps and McDermott agree that they need to leave their stamp on the Eagles' defense but also say the safety has many of the attributes that made Dawkins a Philadelphia legend. "I think our games are similar," Demps said. "I'm probably a younger version of him."

When this year's NFL season kicks off, midstate Eagles fans will be able to don jerseys and T-shirts supporting the team's newest player, Michael Vick, even though Dick's Sporting Goods stores won't be selling them.

Since Returning, Westbrook Continues to Improve
"He’s increased his workload every day this week. He felt good," Reid said. "I’ve been happy with what I’ve seen. He’s worked so hard to get to this spot, and I’m glad he’s feeling good and strong there, and we’ll just continue to add to the workload next week."
Wild about the Wildcat | Philadelphia Inquirer | 08/18/2009
Way back when I covered Penn State football, every time a reporter would ask Joe Paterno about this new-fangled spread offense, JoePa would dismiss the questioner with a wave of the hand and a, "Ahhhhhh, we ran the same thing back when I was the quarterback at Brooklyn Prep."

way to go dick's

Get off the dog fighting VS hunting thing
There is no intelligent comparison between a culturally acceptable AND LEGAL sport and a culturally AND ILLEGAL act that a small minority consider sport. Using that argument makes you look almost a stupid as your numerous spelling and grammatical errors.
I do, however, agree that Vick has done his time and deserves another chance to play football.
Dick’s can choose to sell, or not sell, whatever they choose. This is still a semi-free country. I must admit though, they are missing out on an awesome tagline: “Get Vick’s at Dick’s”

Actually, the argument does hold some water, especially regarding stocked hunts. You can expand the argument further to livestock animals such as ducks kept for foie gras, veal calves, etc. In no way am I trying to dilute the heinousness of Vick’s acts, just trying to point out that, from an animal cruelty standpoint, there is little difference.
I eat meat (and veal when I feel like spending that much), however what is and is not “culturally acceptable” really should not factor in here. Your average slaughterhouse animal lives a life no better than fighting dogs, cockfighting roosters, and the like. We humans are a hypocritical bunch, try not to overlook the large gray area that surrounds this argument.
Now, I am off to walk the dog, cook a burger, and rig up my poles for some fluke fishing this weekend.

Considering we’re all on this blog because we get our jollies watching human freaks of nature knock the shit out of each other for 60 minutes every Sunday, I can’t say that I disagree with your statement. That said, I prefer the term paradoxy to hypocrisy, but I’m a big fan of M. Scott Peck, so there you go.

As someone who is non-religious, I never identified with Peck’s conclusions (Although I admit to never reading any of his books). While I believe this can be an engaging discussion/debate, I will respectfully bow out, as to not stray off topic for this board. Go Birds!

Dicks isn't so virtuous...
“Right now we don’t know how much of a demand there is for [the jersey],” Dick’s chief marketing officer, Jeff Hennion, said in a prepared statement. “If there is a demand for it, we’ll sell it.”
So in other words they’ll sell if they can make money.
The King!
Anybody else really excited to watch Dunlap in action for the first time?
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
my enthusiasm is tempered . . .
by the fact that he is protecting our franchise’s backside.
i care more about the deuce i flushed down the toilet this morning than i do about brett farve… i hope he throws another 25 picks this year and gets run out of the league for good.

Apparently Dunlap is like Justice Jr. — lots of latent talent but no work ethic. He’s been chastised by Reid during practice for dogging it.
I am not excited to see this.
