DeSean Jackson Hits the Battlefield

NFL players today love their video games. So much so that they are entering themselves in tournaments across the land. The Eagles own DeSean Jackson was in L.A. last week to participate in the Battlefield Bracket Challenge Presented by GameStop.
He, along with other athletes and celebs such as Chad Ochocinco and the lovely Stacy Keibler, [...]

The ‘Kearse’ at Left Defensive End

With the announcement that the Panthers will not franchise tag Julius Peppers, look for the rumors linking him to the Eagles to heat up. Even at 30, expect Peppers to get a handsome payday from whichever team offers him a contract. I just hope that team isn’t our beloved Birds.
I wanted Peppers last season, but [...]

The Play That Defined Brian Westbrook

Brian Westbrook was many things during his days as an Eagle: explosive runner, dynamic receiver, one-man highlight reel, go-to weapon and team leader are just a few of the hats that he willingly wore.
He was one of the most professional and dedicated players I’ve ever seen. Even during his contract squabbles, he remained classy and [...]

Eyeing the Unrestricted

I’ve been perusing the 2010 list of UFA for the last couple days. All 235 of them. To be honest, I’m not finding it very impressive. There are a few big/obvious names like Julius Peppers and Karlos Dansby, and a few familiar faces to Eagles Nation. (Remember Matt Ware and Bobbie Williams?)
Guys like DT Justin [...]

This Whole Stacy Andrews Thing Could Get Messy

The Eagles and potential free agent bust Stacy Andrews might be on their way to an impasse. Pay him his $4.1 million roster bonus due in April, or tell him he’s not worth it and demand he stop stealing cash. Or they could give him his bonus, but only on the condition he rework his [...]

About Those Kevin Kolb Rumors

When I first read the “report” regarding the so-called contract talks that were supposedly going on between the Eagles and quarterback Kevin Kolb, I said to myself, “Man, this would be a major story if Adam Schefter had written it.”
Alas, Adam didn’t pen it. Nor did Chris Mortensen or Jay Glazer. Nah, it was one [...]
