Diagram: How Your Appreciation Of Brett Favre Is Manufactured - From Our Editors - SBNation.com
Nobody is apathetic toward Brett Favre's retirement/un-retirement antics, no matter how often or strongly they insist otherwise. The only question that remains is how evolved we are in our appreciation of Favre.
Eagles Training Camp: Birds Leaving Lehigh - SB Nation Philly
Today, the Eagles held their final practice of the year at Lehigh University and closed their 2010 training camp. Head coach Andy Reid said he thinks the team built a good foundation in their time at Lehigh.

Eagles camp: Winners and losers | Philly | 08/18/2010
Who were the winners and losers at Eagles training camp the last three weeks? Here is my list.
Former-Eagles coach Buddy Ryan stupidly takes a shot at Tony Dungy, looks like idiot doing so.
Around the NFC East
McNabb has long-term plans with Skins - NFC East Blog - ESPN
when a Comcast reporter mentioned that McNabb wasn't appreciated in Philadelphia, the quarterback cut her off: "I would not say that, I would not say that," he said. "You know what, it's exciting to be received well, but obviously being in the league for a long time, [Redskins fans] want to see results. I understand that. That's part of my role. My role is to come here and do kind of what they've seen me do for 11 years, and that's something I want to present to them as well as my ballclub."

Kyle Kosier sprains right knee; likely out 4-6 weeks - Blogging The Boys
The lack of true depth on the offensive line is now going to be severely tested after Kyle Kosier reportedly sprained his right knee and could miss four to six weeks with the injury. Montrae Holland will replace Kosier in the lineup. For at least the rest of the preseason, the Cowboys will be playing without their starting offensive line.

Good advice, those fools should follow it themselves. Oh… them team they watch won? Not good enough.

Buddy has a Super Bowl ring….
He may not have been a head coach, but his role on the ’85 bears was larger than that of most defensive coordinators.
Also, Ryan will be remembered a long time down the road for his innovations on defense. Tony Dungy, while a good person who I respect, will not be remembered the way Ryan wil.
Buddy has two rings
He was a position coach (linebackers?) with the Jets in Super Bowl III.

I knew it was a safe bet
people can’t help themselves (see the “I am sick of Tony Dungy” thread)

Interesting
BGNs HERO Cornelius Ingram hasn’t done much in camp, actually he wasn;t given many reps in the pre season game either… Question is… will the comparison to the next Tony Gonazlez stop? Hoepfully.
It’s a shame but it doesn’t look like Tapp is making much an impact — that has to change in the regular season..HAS TOO
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
I called him “Tony Gonzalez Jr”, once, but that’s actually his real name. “Cornelius Ingram” is just a nickname bestowed by Tebow, which of course became is legal name in the state of Florida.
Same for Riley Cooper. His real name is actually “Joe Jones.”
That's because
Last year in training camp he was destroying everybody.
I feel bad for him. It doesn’t look like he’s back yet. He might go on IR again.
Veritas Liberabit Te
Even this year
There was a ton of “Cant wait to see Ingran and Celek in 2 TE sets and how we never used 2 TE sets.” Oh and one post even had Ingram lining up as a WR in the red zone lol
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
There’s a big difference between statements like that and “He’s the next Tony Gonzalez.”
Formerly Bye, Dawk :(
Lots of people last year said he would over take Celek for the number 1 spot before the start of the season … there was a lot of ill advised dick riding last year.
They call me The Professor.
ill advised dick riding
Haha, nice. Sounds like an excuse a married woman might give to her husband for cheating. For example, with Michael Vick killing dogs, the phrase “ill advised decision” was thrown out somewhere along the way. A married woman could say “I didn’t cheat, it was just ill-advised dick riding.”

Tomorrow’s Star Tribune sports section headline…
Favre: “I’m coming back, but this is my last year! Really now, I mean it. I’m done, finito, kaput. Seriously. Like, for realz. Probably.”

JIBTA’s actually Jack Ikegwuonu... and he’s f***ing pissed.
36-5-20-JJ Bleeding Green Forever
The day after that: Favre accepts 30 million dollar contract, says he only accepted the offer because his little girl told him to and decision has nothing to do with money or that he even likes football anymore, he’s just whipped by a housefull of women. Favre also admitts that he’s allergic to hay, horses and beef and has never ridden or owned a tractor in his life. Callamity ensues. Fall of mankind follows shortly thereafter.

Perfect timing, huh?
I guess Farve really did remember when he was supposed to come out of retirement…

Also
Eli should shave his head, he had the Bieber bowl cut before it was cool, now maybe he’ll start a new trend.
I am shocked cowboys fans are surprised another player got injured… Welcome to the NFL, u were really REALLY fortunate last year; for goodness sake ur practice facility fell on top of the team & only 1 person was seriously injured & he made out better than doctors thought.

I’m shocked that you actually linked that article on Stampede Blue. Regardless of what Buddy said or how he said it, that article was bashing Buddy for poor taste while displaying heaps of it, not to mention the fact that Tony Dungy should have kept his mouth shut on the issue in the first place. Buddy is best known for punching Kevin Gilbride in the face? Really?
I also love how the author resorted to the very typical Superbowl winning arguement. Winning one Superbowl after spending years coaching Peyton, Harrison, Wayne and Clark makes him legendary? Oh no, it’s the Tampa 2 scheme? Please.
I mean.. seriously.. who the fuck appointed Tony Dungy the moral compass of the NFL and its’ fan base?

Amen brother
Dungy is a guy who won a championship once, with quite possibly the best offense ever assembled. Hooray for Tony the greatest coach ever. Man that was hard to do. Where’s an assistant coach for me to punch.

Eagles Throwback Jerseys
Hey everyone random question. On the website it says the Eagles Throwback jerseys are Pre Sell. I was going to buy one for my girlfriend for her to wear on opening weekend (she loved the kelly green) but I was wondering if anyone knows when these are supposed to ship? I want to know if they’ll be here in time for the 11th or not.
He’s the Most overrated head coach I’ve ever seen, but he is probably the best defensive mind in the past 30 years.

‘Most overrated head coach’ – Nah but I never understood how even years later he gets the love around he that he does. He didn’t win a single playoff game here. He was also overrated as an evaluator of talent too.
He wasn't a great head coach
in fact, I think ultimately he was a pretty lousy head coach, but he was always entertaining and never boring – and his teams played hard
You can’t say about some other Eagles coaches.
Ryan is also remember so fondly because of what happened between he was a bright spot in a lull (between uninspiring and bad Eagles’ teams under Campbell for a few years in the early/mid 80s and what came to town after Buddy in the Kotite/Rhodes years).
People hate Kotite with a passion around here but I still say Rhodes was even a worse coach overall. His ‘loud, proud, dumb as rocks’ act wore real thin and the players started to phase him out even by the later part of his 2nd yr in town.
I'll never forgive Rhodes
for totally quitting on the Eagles in the hopes of getting fired so he could become the Packers coach. Really, what sort of NFL coach quits on a team and encourages his own firing? A horrible coach who belongs on the list of worst Eagles coach ever.
Good question.
From what I remember, the ’85 Bears were a slightly above average defense. As were the Gang Green Defenses.
"Up yours, asshole!"--EvilBanner to effeminate yachtsman Boston Jeff Lurie
Pssssst, he gave those Gang Green Defenses such awful offenses that he never won a playoff game. GENIUS!!!!

You're right again.
Jim McMahon was a great quarterback. And Willie Gault and Emery Moorehead were a receiving corps to be feared. Buddy Ryan rode the coattails of Ed Hughes’ fearsome offense.
"Up yours, asshole!"--EvilBanner to effeminate yachtsman Boston Jeff Lurie
Right so unlike every head coach ever Buddy will not be held in any way accountable for the offense and only for the defense. Makes sense.

you mean like the cowboy's coach
who has absolutely no say in their offense. Do you really think Marvin Lewis or Rex spends two seconds on offense game plan? It’s incredibly common for a head coach to specilize on one part of the game and give his coordinator free reign. Sarcasm only works if you have a clue about what your talking about.
How about the purple people eaters?
As well as the first AFC super bowl and the Bears. Buddy is an Fing God and Tony is a Douchebag. Buddys got more rings. Then compare how their kids are doing. Hard Knocks vs. six feet under.
