Eagles may want to sign Brett Favre; Vick would be ‘honored’ Please say it aint so.

God damn, Brett.

Growing up in Wisconsin and being a loyal Packers fan, it sucks so much to see an icon like him fall so hard. I just don't want to see him get seriously injured, the chances of which are increasing exponentially as the years tick by.

Also it seems like a lot of news outlets are saying the lockout is over!

It is! It is!

I honestly think Brett should go for a coaching job. Who wouldn't sign him. I never liked the Packers, but I have a lot of respect for them. Brett Favre needs to hang it up and stop playing for his own sake. His numbers aren't getting any better and although he has nothing to prove I believe he's only hurting himself by keeping this up. I know he loves the game but he doesn't have to completely leave. QB coach, Offensive coach, Offensive coordinator, it's all open for him.

He probably would fit in really well with all of the sideline coaches and whatnot. He should go for that instead of trying to stay on the field, but, Brett is Brett.

P.S. Giants for life.

I'm not sure Brett has the needed discipline to be on a coaching squad. He is too much of a joker boy and all.

VShake, I would suggest that we do one of those 'wear the other teams jersey' bets, but since I imagine an Eagles jersey wouldn't cause much stir where you live I would be the one taking the greater risk - living in Philadelphia and all.

Camp starts for us tomorrow...I'm a wee bit excited.

I think Favre would make a horrible coach. He was never really technically sound as a player, like, say...Peyton Manning is. His strengths as a player were never his technique, decision making or film study...all traits a player would certainly need in order to parlay into a good coaching career.

sh*t, Favre wasn't even a very good teammate by some accounts...and was a pariah by one or two. He barely hung out with his peers by the time he landed in NY and Minny. Plus he's had a hell of a lot of conflict with some of his head coaches, coordinators and so on. The guy was a tremendous player, but the characteristics that made him a great player don't necessarily align with traits of the great coaches. Maybe it's just me, but I really doubt that he'd do well as an authority figure.

So, so far the good old Texans who I proclaimed would make it to the playoffs two years ago ( ) have done nothing so far since the lockout besides pick up UDFAS.

Oh, I just learned that we resigned Rashad Butler, our pretty good swing tackle. That certainly delights me since our backups at tackle are a bit weak. Otherwise I think we have a decent o-line.

Duane Brown has slowly improved since his dreadful rookie season. Eric Winston has been generally solid, albeit he had a pretty less than mediocre season this last one.

WOAH! Some people are saying the Texans are leaders in the hunt for Nnamdi. I'm a little scared of that, first of all it's going to be a huge contract. I don't want to turn into a team like the Dan Snyder led Redskins.

Apparently the Giants are discussing possibly bringing Plaxico Burress back. Recently he stated that he had some issues with Tom Coughlin when he was with the team. I really hope that doesn't become a major deciding factor between the two parties if they decide to negotiate a contract, as I would love it if we got him back. I'd hate to see him end up in Philly, Dallas, Washington, New England, Pittsburgh or with the Jets.

[Funktipus]

Dallas dumped Roy Williams and Marion Barber. Donovan McNabb might be heading to Minnesota. Santonio Holmes signed a 5-yr. deal with the Jets. Matt Hasselbeck to the Titans, Donte Stallworth to the 'Skins. Giants cut Rich Seubert and Shaun O'Hara, and I saw the Plaxico story. I'm sure Coach Coughlin is thrilled with that. Giants front office is scared sh*tless of Burress going to one of their division rivals, Dallas, Philly or Washington. I'm scared too, especially if catches passes from Michael Vick.

[Pagelzilla]

McNabb playing for the Vikings will make for an interesting NFC North. The Lions are also expected to be a serious contending force.

Man, I've been hearing that BSPN (ESPN) is REALLY trying hard to get a Nnamdi to jets thing going. The media is trying to get a person to go to a team, that's just f*cked up.

It's a terrible idea too, why would you boost a strongpoint of your team to completely ignore your offense. You offense that is lead by Mark Sanchez, need I say more?

So apparently it's Jets, 49ers and Texans in the race for Nnamdi. If we get him it's going to be all we get. I would rather get a a CB and FS tandem in FA.

It's all about ratings. Unfortunately, the Jets and their loud mouth head coach, Rex Ryan, draw a lot of coverage, especially since they're a New York team. Though their offense isn't stellar, it's not terrible. Mark Sanchez is no Peyton Manning, but he's a decent game manager. And, that is coming from a Miami Dolphins fan. If you ask me, the Jets and Rex Ryan are trying to do what was done in Baltimore. They're trying to stockpile defensive players.

[Funktipus]

Brad Smith to Buffalo

Albert Haynesworth & Chad OchoCinco to New England

Reggie Bush to Miami

Paul Pozlusky to Jacksonville

So....Houston gets Johnathon Joseph and Danieal Manning. WOW!!

All we need is a decent defense to coincide with our offense and we make the playoffs, and this just may give us that. The only things hindering us is if the defense can learn the 3-4 quickly and Mario can stay dominant as a LB. These are big problems since we did not have OTA's and the Matt Schaub led practices obviously did not feature Wade (I think JJ Watt got a hold of a playbook during that little reprieve from the lockout during the draft) and only Demeco was teaching the defense.

I have high hopes again and while it will be hard for the Texans to overcome those problems I believe that they can.

/Kool-Aid drinker

Any Chicago fan here to give me their opinions on Danieal?

Im still on the edge of my seat wondering where Asomugha is going to land. Him and Revis as a tag team would make an unbelievable threat to any teams passing game.

Guess what?????

I just popped on the Eagles page to see what other movement was happening, and there was a live feed press conference happening.


Yup, we got him......



Edit:
Did I mention we also got Rodgers-Cromartie?

Holy crap...finally some serious defense again. Having been an Eagles fan my whole life, I'm used to a killer defense - I can't tell you how great this is.

As a Giants fan, I am not a happy man right now. I can't believe Asomugha signed with Philly.

Well, having been born and bread here and all. Not to mention our old rivalry. I hope you don't mind if I say....Na Na NaNa Na.

These moves we've made our amazing. So far, best off season moves I've ever seen. Sorry, but now I have to go back to my superstitious ways and not talk about anything

Will this make you talk?

The Eagles suck and have never done anything and never will. Andy Reid is a complete loser and your whole team stinks.

Nope.

Pre-season in a couple of weeks...CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Are you really that suspicious that you won't talk about your team?

Sports fans, craziest nuts I'll ever see.
It's funny how the lockout works, it made most of the offseason dreadful, but now that it is lifted it makes everything go by faster. We are so close!
