The Linc 5.31.07

This #5 does not puke
LJ Smith has gotten his hernia worked on, and some 5th round picks have signed... but it's still the slow time in the NFL world. With that, I give you The Linc...

I've said many many times in the past that no one gets more fluff pieces written about him than Jeremy Bloom. It seems that when a writer has a deadline due and can't think of anything... they whi out a Bloom fluff piece. (Philly.com)

How about a super early look at how the final roster may shake out? (Iggles Blog)

It seems that the infamous behavior of the Eagles fans in the 700 level is being adopted by Phillies fans in the 300 level. (700 Level)

Oh hey look! It's yet another Jeremy Bloom fluff piece! (McCall.com)

A video history of McNabb puking through the years. (Eagles Chronicles)

Anyone want Kobe Bryant back in his hometown. It doesn't seem so. (Depressed Fan)

Let's just beat Chris Berman to it. The Eagles newest TE's nickname is Brent "Tom" Celek. (Eagle Scout)

The SBN small market roundtable is in full swing and this week's topic is new stadiums. Check it out for an empassioned rant from yours truly! (Pride of Detroit)

Sampy and Dorenbos
Bill Sampy got a puff piece today too.

And I doubt that Dorenbos makes the cut if they let Celek play long snapper.  Which means they could hold onto one of either Scott Young, Ryan Moats, Greg Lewis, Lee Vickers, or Bill Sampy instead.

Andy has a thing for lineman and specifically Young...

WOAH
Seriously horrible reporting from one of those major major sites... The quotes of Jeremy Bloom aren't matching -- someone is fibbing. Maybe I'm blowing this up b/c I do reporting, but this is ridiculous:

 "It was disappointing at first," he said. "I went through a 24-hour period where I was really upset I couldn't compete. After that, I realized what the opportunity was. They were allowing me to do everything with the team, study the game, have access to the systems here where we can watch any team, any defense, with just the click of a button.

"It was such a great opportunity to have that year, and I'm pleased with the progression."
-- Inquirer

''It was difficult at first when they told me I'd be on IR,'' Bloom said Wednesday after a minicamp workout for rookies and other players still relatively new to the Eagles. ''I was really upset for the first 24 hours. But then I looked at it as an opportunity to be in the weight room, study films and have this practice facility available. It was a great opportunity.''
--mcall.com

If you're quoting a guy, it must be his exact words. I'm inclined to trust the Inq on this, but this is just lazy, shoddy reporting reminiscent of the dude that started the McNabb rumor. What's going on in journalism?

I'm missing out
Maybe I should pick a random player and right a fluff piece!
