The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback situation has drawn a lot of attention and speculation this offseason. The Birds currently have 3 quarterbacks under contract; 11 year veteran Donovan McNabb, young hopeful Kevin Kolb, and ex-convict Michael Vick. As much as Andy Reid likes to say McNabb is his quarterback, we the public know he’s full of shit. Malcontent Eagles fans have been bitching about McNabb since the Super Bowl loss to the Patriots. Expect him to be the odd man out in this situation.
So we’ve heard Rams, Vikings if Favre doesn’t come back, 49ers and now it’s Al Davis and the Raiders turn. Recently, the Raiders have emerged as the leaders to land McNabb. Al Davis and McNabb both are Syracuse Orange, and it appears all the pieces are in place for the deal. The Raiders are willing to meet the demands of the Eagles, and his money situation doesn’t scare them off.
I think it’s safe to say McNabb out of Philadelphia is a foregone conclusion. It’s unfortunate that a guy who has been a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback for years is going to leave the city on a bad note. Philadelphia fans are making a dangerous assumption Kolb and Vick will be able to take the Birds further than #5. It’s safe to say one thing; the Raiders know that JaMarcus Russell was a big mistake. In a perfect world McNabb gets out of Philly, and the Eagles suck for years.
Who says the Marlins aren’t spending any money?
JUPITER — What a difference winning a batting title makes.
Last spring, Hanley Ramirez vented his frustration over a team policy banning long hair and jewelry. He went on to hit .342 and win his first batting title.
On Saturday, owner Jeffrey Loria surprised Ramirez when he called the All-Star shortstop outside the clubhouse and handed him a diamond-studded “.342″ pendant.
“We don’t wear jewelry on the field but I know Hanley likes it off the field,” Loria said after Ramirez collected two more hits Saturday in Florida’s 3-2 loss to St. Louis.
Ramirez’s necklace has 394 diamonds. “I told him, if you hit .394 this year, we’ll do something else,” Loria said.
That’s a pretty nice gesture on Loria’s part, but considering that Hanley agreed to a six-year, $70 million contract – a total bargain for the game’s best shortstop – maybe it’s somewhat deserved. It looks like Loria isn’t afraid to play favorites, either, but who can blame him? Hanley’s such a dreamboat and just by having him in the lineup, the Marlins are a force to be reckoned with. Although is he manages to hit .394, what is the “something else” Loria will do for him? 446 diamonds? I don’t really get his math.
This is a bit longer of a fall than most fans take. Wow. Insane.
As a Gator fan, I root for Tim Tebow, but he makes it awfully hard sometimes. Forget all the Bible-thumping; he’s a big huge dork. This was a nice gesture on his part, but this whole scene is just saturated with awkwardness.
Did anyone else notice how disproportionately hotter the girl is than the guy proposing? Good thing he’s locking her down now.
As much as I (and I’m sure you) enjoy watching cheerleaders do their thing on the field we must realize that these women have great lives off the field. Some of these lives include “dancing” or even working at places like hooters and other venues where you get to see their bodies in other revealing gear.
Speaking of cheerleaders who do a great job off the field, The Eagles Cheerleaders get plenty of gigs. From bikini contests to modeling shoots, these women are all over the place in the offseason.
Here’s a little taste of the Eagles ladies off the field…
Because throwing like a girl for the whole country to see once apparently wasn’t enough:
WASHINGTON (AP)—Barack Obama will throw out the ceremonial first ball at the Washington Nationals’ opener, marking the 100th anniversary of a presidential pitch to start the season.
…
Obama threw out the first pitch at last year’s All-Star game in St. Louis, wearing a White Sox jacket. Noting that the Nationals host the White Sox this season for a three-game series June 18-20, Washington manager Jim Riggleman joked, “He’s going to be answering some tough questions about whether he’s a Nationals fan or a White Sox fan.”
Yeah, it’s gonna be tough to talk about team loyalty after getting dragged through the mud by the GOP over the past couple of years. Anyway, Obama’s pitch last year in St. Louis was pretty pathetic, a lazy one-hopper that bounced before it reached Albert Pujols. Say what you want about Bush as a president, but the guy fired a perfect strike from the rubber in Yankee Stadium right after 9/11. Meanwhile, I’ll be surprised if Obama can hit his target on the fly.
The best thing about Obama being present for the Nats opener is that no matter how much money fans paid for seats, they’ll all be sitting in the upper deck! It’s the fair, American way!
Why this guy is aroused is beside me. Notice how the announcer’s laugh becomes more hesitant and the camera shoots right off the guy. There’s an awkwardness about it that is priceless.
