I will accept criticism for the Eagles loss last night now...
Okay, that is all.
Seriously, what a brutal job by Andy Reid and his staff. You can gripe about a stupid reversal of an illegal forward pass (rule was used correctly, though I have reservations regarding the placement of the line of scrimmage), but the fact of the matter is Andy bumbled this one away with 2 challenges (stupid), couldn't manage the clock in the final two Eagles drives and then called two running plays at the end of the game, with 1 T.O. in his pocket and time draining fast...oh and the Eagles couldn't run the ball all game, what makes him think something's changed? This team just pisses me off...
In more interesting news (that is utterly flying under the radar) is the distinct possibility of a second NHL Team in Toronto. This article, from Canada's Globe and Mail suggests that the franchise would become amongst the most valuable NHL franchises and moreover would have to pay some type of fee to the Maple Leafs in order to exist in their fair city. While I'm extremely hesitant of NHL expansion, I believe moving a crappy Florida or Phoenix or perhaps San Jose (a good team, in a bad area for them) team to Toronto may work out...though I believe it deserves its own arena. The prospects are fascinating, though I'm sure the detractors will show up. Still, the first step in improving the NHL will be contractions...something Gary Bettman seems less than willing to even consider.
- Apparently, the Rockies are taking a Holiday on Holliday.
- Andy Pettite files for Free Agency. If a free agent files and no one is interested, did he really file? Post-season hero maybe? 'Roided up Cheater? Definitely
- Adalius Thomas has broken his arm according to the Boston Herald. More trouble for an already injured Pats' squad, though they seem to be in complete control of the AFC East...get into the playoffs and anything can happen. I'll bet a column they make it to the AFC Championship game...
- PFT lays the smack down on the supposed booing of Joe Biden at the Linc last night. He's got more than a valid point, he's dead on. Of course, I support the booing of any politician at a sporting event...
- Nantzy thinks you should spike it...on4th down
- Jake Peavy appears to be headed East. With the Cubs and Braves being the top contenders and Peavy wanting no part of AL hitters.
- Todd Zolecki asked Ruben Amaro if J-Roll was available. To say the least, the rumors are false.
- And finally, Welp, that looked painful. Shades of Willis McGahee meets Dante Hall anyone?
