EAGLES CORNER Joselio Hanson remembers when Wes Welker showed up at Texas Tech, taking a scholarship somebody else had turned down. Welker's 5-9 frame and lack of blazing speed made him a tough sell to recruiters, even though, as Hanson recalled this week, Welker was "all-everything" in Oklahoma.

the fine wasn't because he was taunting

it was because he is a dickhead.

I have this weird idea that the Eagles are fucking with the Pats with some of their injuries.

At least I’m hoping that they are.

Vick and Maclin sat last week. Desean was injured during the game. That’s a lot of setup….

Well, I’m not saying they’re not injured. Just the extent of the injury.

Way different

but it seems like it’d be WAY more effective in football than it would be for hockey. I mean, it’s not like you change your whole strategy because a hockey player is out… might tweak it a bit, but not as drastically as you would change if Young went in for Vick

I like when Desean does crazy things!

This team lacks intensity, and they barely get hype. This is football. Players are so soft now days that it’s almost gay. You can’t expect everyone to react business like and so called “mature” every time they score a touchdown or make a great play. Some players are actually having fun out there. Desean didn’t throw the ball at the guy as if he wanted to hurt him. Can you imagine all of the shit that gets talked to jackson because of how little he is. I would do something after every play I make too if I were him. The MAN RULES of sports are: No caring, having respect for, helping up, or anything positive should be done or acted towards the opposing team until the games over! So desean can run in the endzone backwards and fall in the endzone all he wants. we need some thrill and FUCK YOU attitude on this team anyway.
