Abiamiri Injures Wrist
Second year left defensive end Victor Abiamiri has dislocated his right wrist, and there could be ligament damage according to head coach Andy Reid. Reid said that the wrist will require surgery, and VA will likely miss most of training camp.
This is very bad news, because the Eagles had very big expectations for Abiamiri this year. Jim Johnson has been going out of his way to praise Abiamiri, and there was a shot he could have even been a starter. This really sets his progress back, and right now we should just hope that he will be available for the [...]

Philadelphia Has A Champion
Congrats to the Philadelphia Soul for defeating the San Jose Saber Cats in Arena Bowl XXII.
Arena football is not one of the four major sports, but for a Championship starved city like Philadelphia, this means something. This victory will not satisfy fans desire for a sports championship, but maybe this will pave the way for other Championships.
It’s been 25 years since the Sixers swept the Lakers in the NBA Finals. This Championship drought is the longest for any city with four major sports franchises. Many claim that the city of Philadelphia is unable to win, because of the Curse of Billy Penn.

All of the media was waiting at Lehigh University to see if Brian Westbrook and Lito Sheppard(both want new contracts) would show up to training camp. Many have speculated that there could have been a hold out with one of these guys, but both players showed up and were on time.
Surprisingly, the one player who did not show up was Pro Bowl Right Guard Shawn Andrews. Andrews contacted the Eagles to let them know he would be missing the start of training camp due to “personal reasons”. It was reported on PFT that this was due to a contract dispute, but [...]

Westbrook Wants LT Money
Eagles RB Brian Westbrook is being very vocal on his desire for a new contract. In a recent article by Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Westbrook voices his opinion on the matter.
“The contract thing is a sour point for me because when you deserve something you deserve something,” Westbrook said. “What’s right is right, and what’s fair is fair.”
“To me, it comes down to whether the team respects you,” Westbrook said. “I look at it in dollars and cents. If you think you have a coach who is doing a great job, you pay him – the same way [...]
