What a Great weekend

March 3, 2008- Wow this was a long weekend but a good one! My family was together...me, my beautiful wife, and my two doggies; it was the most relaxing weekend I have had in a really long time. It was wonderful.

So I know I have kind of turned this into a sports Blog so let me ramble on about what I know is going on with the Eagles. Well first thing’s first, great job by the team going out and signing the biggest free agent name available in Asante Samuel! Then there is the pick-up of Chris Clemons from the Raiders, I think, in a way he is going to remind a lot of people

here in Philadelphia of the way Ike Reese used to play. I know Clemons is a DE but they both play with high energy and have a motor that doesn't stop. Clemons could also turn out to be a great pick up for the special teams units as well.

So what’s in the future for the Eagles? Well rumors are flying all over the internet about a possible trade for WR Larry Fitzgerald from the Arizona Cardinals, it will take a lot to make this happen but I’m onboard if the front office can swing it. Larry is big, strong and fits well with the existing locker-room. If you can get him, do it, do it NOW! By bringing Fitzgerald to Philadelphia the Eagles would become Super Bowl contenders over night!

Finally what about this clown on the Phillies Cole Hamels? This guy hasn’t even been in the Big Leagues for 3 full seasons yet and he is already complaining about his contract. Hamels was quoted as saying that he will “remember this down the road,” pertaining to the Phillies renewing his contract at $500,000. The number (a $100,000 raise) is entirely comparable with what other top pitchers in Hamels' service class have received.

What a moron, who complains about getting a $100,000 raise after just a cup of coffee at their new job, and people wonder why ball players are called spoiled brats! Grow up dude, your getting paid a lot of money to play baseball, it’s a good gig so shut your mouth and play!

That’s it for now…Don’t forget to post your comments before leaving.

NFL Free Agents and the Philadelphia Eagles

Feb. 27, 2008- Well the NFL free agency period starts Friday morning at 12:01am and the big question is what will the Eagles do? There are rumors flying everywhere that they are involved in possible trade and that they want to drop big money on a defensive back from the Patriots. Well here is what I want to see happen and this is also in my opinion something that is very much possible too happen….

First the sign Asante Samuel to a big time contract and then turn around and trade Lito Sheppard to either Arizona for Larry Fitzgerald and of course they would have to through in a draft pick or two but hey, he is one of the top talents in the league. If they can get Fitzgerald they turn their attention to Cincinnati and Ocho Cinco (Chad Johnson) and try to ship Lito out there. The key is to get either one of those two wide receivers here in Philadelphia, and it can happen if they really want it too.

Next they pay a little less and sign free agent Gibril Wilson away from the NY Giants as the heir apparent to Brian Dawkins. Finally they draft with their first pick in the draft the best Defensive End available, I like the kid from Florida Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida: Harvey's great burst off the edge would provide the team with a natural pass rusher, the type that Jim Johnson loves almost like a young Javon Kearse.

What do you think?

Slow day...

Feb. 26, 2008- Well today has been a very slow morning but I know that the afternoon will be a lot faster as I have two meetings back to back starting at1pm. I really don't have much to say today at this point, so I will check the news at lunch and post something then.
