PrintNFL players take stage to sing in Miami gospel concert - 5-Minute Herald - MiamiHerald.com
Regardless of his singing prowess or lack thereof, Weaver and several other NFL players sang at the 11th Super Bowl Gospel Celebration Friday night at the James L. Knight Center in Miami. Part of the proceeds from the concert went to support the One Team 4 Haiti campaign. ``It's a blessing to be here,'' Weaver said. ``This shows character of who we are, I think, as an organization in terms of the NFL and its players. It shows we care more than about ourselves. A lot of people get the perception that as professional athletes we are all about ourselves.''

Last week, I interviewed several players who were assembled for the Pro Bowl in South Florida. Among the most fascinating — candid and extremely descriptive — were Quintin Mikell of the Philadelphia Eagles. Here’s an excerpt from the podcast, with Mikell talking about the hardest hit he ever took, what it felt like afterward, and what it would be like to play football without a helmet:

NFL labor woes weigh on Goodell's mind | Philadelphia Daily News | 02/06/2010
A day after NFL players association chief DeMaurice Smith put the chances of a 2011 work-stoppage at 14 on a scale of 1 to 10, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he would prefer less rhetoric and more productivity in the bargaining talks. "I sure hope he's wrong, and I sure hope it doesn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy,'' Goodell said yesterday during his annual Super Bowl-week news conference.

Tra Thomas, Torry Holt
both would be interesting pick-ups for the Eagles. I wonder if Holt is into mentoring much?
Tra would give us maybe 1 year of OT depth which was a serious issue. Especially if we think the Andrews brothers aren’t going to work out…
Agreed
Tra would be a good pickup, I’m not sure about Holt though. He seems to be slipping.
"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!!"

I can tell you
Torry Holt was a WR assistant WR to us. He is a great person. I’m very sad my Jags let him and Tra go away. Holt has left some fuel in his tank-although his longest receive gainst Miami would beeen a sure TD 2-3 year ago. In week 14 he was caught at the 10 yard line…
I would love to see Holt in Phily; but we play this year in the regular season; so…

Goodell is a funny guy.
And we need to bring Tra Thomas back now. There are no Andrews sisters.
...But if he pulls the rug on his quarterback, Reid must do it knowing that he let McNabb down more than McNabb ever let him down.

Holt... basically take over Curtis's Spot at Wr
not as injured all the time… but maybe the back-up to our outside WRs Jackson/Maclin. If he can impart some knowledge and come in to rest those guys a little… might be nice.
Amazing as it seems compared to how we started the season… but we’ll need some WR depth.
Holt has been injured the past 2 years also
And when is he going to come in? We also have a WR named Avant too.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
