E! A! G! L! E! S! IGGLES!!!!

Keep in mind, we also signed TO.

yeah im with you but owens was in the prime of his career; only thing vick's game-ready for is serving lunch at team dinners

"can't see too much of an uproar over dude holding a clipboard"

um, except every game on the road will be a relentless hatefest with the p.a. system blaring who let the dogs out all night long. i'm guessing the field will either be littered with milkbone biscuits or dog collars. what does that do to morale team-wise?

(espn was saying this morning that they should put mcnabb AND vick on the field at the same time just to scare the shit out of people.)

I am basically gonna watch every eagles game just to be there when this happens. I think this is kinda cool tbh, but I'm not a dedicated eagles fan.

thing is, this is probably going to happen in philadelphia

it seems all the interesting things in Philly sports happen when I am away from Philly

looking forward to my facebook news feed this year

everybody's overrating this. some fuckin peta weirdos are gonna protest, vick's going to break something for a td in like week 9, and no one's going to remember what a "controversial" signing it was.

my little sister -- who REALLY hates michael vick and loves dogs -- is pressuring me to quit on the Eagles because of the Vick signing.

iggggggggles football!

goodbye andrews bros. hullo to brandon graham + nate allen. (+ others)

certainly my favorite song about the Philadelphia Eagles

we're the best kind of disgusting savages

I-G-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

uaaIhl, that whoe album is amazing but I think "Eagles" is the high point

oh my god i just got home to find out phillies signed hunter pence (ok, cool) and the iggles signed Asomugha???? holy shit that second piece of news makes me giddy!

good day for philly fans no doubt

XD XD XD XD

Always fun to watch Eagles fans get gassed off of some new player because you know they'll hate him in a year.

Cliff Lee: “Philly fans don’t need a teleprompter to tell them to cheer.”

from Peter King

And one league source just told me something that surprised me. “Nnamdi wanted to play in Philadelphia,” the source said. More than New York, where Rex Ryan was planning to make Asomugha and Revis his defensive centerpieces? Yes, the source said.

The contract is stunning — just $12 million a year for a player who made $28 million over the last two years and was the hottest player on the free agent market. So the source appears to be spot on: Clearly Asomugha would have been offered more by at least one other team. The $12 million annual figure is what the Panthers paid defensive end Charles Johnson this week. Clearly there was something enticing about this Eagles bid, possibly the ability to go to a team with the chance to win the Super Bowl from the NFC.

eh, there must be a more likely explanation. mebbe it's cheesesteaks.

we gonna trade cromartie now?

When did Asomugha all of a sudden become talked about like he was the best player in the NFL? I'd never even heard of him until he hit the free agent market.

vick, vy, mccoy, desean, maclin, nnamdi, asante, drc

andy reid's crazy fat ass

xp second best cb for a little bit now -- he was all over the place last season at least

can see someone having a desire to retire with a ring being more important than the asshole fan factor

can see someone having a desire to retire with a ring being more important than the asshole fan factor

of course ... at least part of the reason why ballplayers sign with the Yankees (OK, the fat paycheck is more important ... but both make that team's/city's asshole fans more tolerable).

xp I can't imagine he felt he'd have a better shot at a ring with Iggles than Jets -- tho I suppose it's possible.

Since about 4 years ago when every offensive coordinator in the league decided that they were never going to throw to his half of the field anymore.

now w/ cullen jenkins

another nice pickup

are we really gonna trade samuel?

so it appears. apparently he's too expensive for us

cap casualties:

weaver - 2.4m
hanson - 870,000
bunkley - 700,000
parker - 3.5m
total: 6.5m

only way asante is traded if roseman is wowed with a starter better than Justice or 1st rd. pick + LB. asante would free up 6.3m this season, 7.5m for 2012.

As if they needed the help, Eagles now have two 2s, two 4s, two 5s and two 6s in 2012 draft. Talk about a well-run organization.

what's up

1. Reid 2. Castillo 3. No LBs 4. No OL 5. Rookie kicker 6. Poor offensive schemes in redzone 7. Ronnie Brown thinks he's a QB 8. Poor game management 9. Terrible ball protection 10. No tackling to speak of...

didn't the eagles ever pay attention to the redskins, they're just 3 hours south on 95

It's hard for me to say whether these are the same problems the Eagles have always had (inability to finish games, stalled important drives, red zone issues, impatience w/ the running game) just writ super large or some kind of new problem. The defense is the worst I've ever seen it, at least since I started paying serious attention to the team in high school. The offense is incredibly talented, but somehow Reid has become even worse over the years at basic stuff, like drawing up intelligible plays or using players effectively. Maybe the problem is that Reid keeps leaning on these explosive offensive players (McNabb, Westbrook now Vick, Jackson) to pick up the slack from his -- apparently -- ineffective gamecalling. And Vick can't be a superstar every week (tho he is often the only bright spot in these games)

at the moment -- and obviously a lot can still happen over the season and they could theoretically still turn it around and even make the playoffs -- this feels like reid's last season in philadelphia

how long do we have these bright new stars under contract for

depends on the player. afaik jackson doesn't even have his new contract yet.

this wide 9 defense is the worst piece of shit i've ever seen and that reid + castillo persist in using it is very telling about the quality of decision making coming down from the top.

also, reid's constant bitching in the post game conference about how we can't blame the defense too much bc the offense didn't score enough was like complaining that michael vick wasn't magical enough this game to bail reid out. maybe the problem was the whole 12 run plays called (!!!!) + mccoy running 9 times for 18 yards, and not vick going 30-for-46 for 416 yards (a career high), two touchdowns and an interception

I thought football was all about defense

reid really resisted blaming the defense for this travesty

:D

Kind of makes me wish I watched the game/cared about football.

at least we'll always have the phillies
