All Philadelphia Sports Readers,

Sorry for the lack of updates over the last couple a months.  As most of you know, the draft and free agency is my bread and butter and when I get most active with blogging on the Eagles since I, like all of us, love to put on my GM hat.

I swear the Giants front office reads this blog since I was rather high on Aaron Ross, Mario Manningham, Clint Sintim, and William Beatty, all players whom the Giants have drafted.

In any event, I’m currently studying for the Pennsylvania Bar exam, which will finally be over in one week.

After that, get ready for talk about the Eagles draft.

I’ll have a special guest writer, King Vaidya, on here to engage in a McNabb vs. Kolb debate.  He’s been a contributor to the website in the past.  I want Kevin Kolb to take the reigns next season and Jay is a devote #5 advocate.  I’ve alwasy been a fan of Kolb and have always criticized McNabb.  One can only take so many balls thrown into the ground on 3rd and 5 and seeing McNabb smile makes me want to punch the television.  I believe that Kolb will be every bit as good as Matt Ryan or Aaron Rodgers and Jay and I will be squaring off to make our opinions heard.

We’ll also be diving into the draft coverage heavily from March through April.

All I have to say now is that we desperately need to boost the offensive line.  I don’t care if we add a guard or a tackle, but we need another offensive lineman if we want to stop the Cowboys defensive line from raping us next season.

I would take a look at Idaho OG Mike Iupati, Illinois OG Jon Asamoah, and Maryland OT Bruce Campbell, who are all viable options when the Eagles are on the clock.  NFL Draft Countdown has the Eagles drafting OLB Sean Weatherspoon and I will tell you right now that the Eagles will not be drafting a linebacker in the first round.

Talk to you guys soon.

Game of the Year!  Enjoy!

The 76ers have offered Allen Iverson a one-year contract. Allen Iverson has not accepted the deal yet. A possible sticking points may be over Allen Iverson wanting a two-year deal.

According to ESPN, the 76ers are “seriously considering” offering Allen Iverson a contract.

I think they should drop the seriously considering and make it happen!

Where’s there to lose?  Nothing.  With a 5-11 record and the league’s lowest attendance, it shouldn’t even be a question.

BRING BACK ALLEN IVERSON!

Elton Brand’s new Converse shoe, the EB2, was recently released.  Converse has paired up with JC Penny to offer the shoe at affordable prices: $65 for adults, $50 for kids.  Here’s a picture of the EB2:

One player that I’ve grown to love is Jordan Shipley. I know we’ve exhausted the WR argument. With DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, and up-and-commer Brandon Gibson, the Eagles are stacked at the position. This past offseason, the Eagles had too many receivers, they had a hard time figuring out who to cut and who to keep.

However, with Kevin Curtis constantly ailing, it has me thinking whether the Eagles should depart with White Lightning and turn to White Lightning 2.0 in the upcoming draft. Texas’s Jordan Shipley is an elite NCAA WR. He’s had three straight games with double-digit receptions and has eclipsed the 100 yard mark 3 times in 5 games this season.

Shipley is currently the 7th ranked receiver on NFL Draft Countdown’s WR rankings. There’s a solid chance that he’ll be available in round 4 and possibly round 5. My question to you is whether you say happy trails to Kevin Curtis and his bum knee and draft his replacement in Jordan Shipley?

What a start for the Flyers!  They’ve improved their record to 3-0 to start the season.  Last night they beat the Washington Capitals 6-5 in overtime thanks to a Daniel Briere game-winning goal on his 32nd birthday.  Mike Richards had a hat trick in the game, the second hat trick of his career.  What a game! Check out the highlights.

Fan favorite Jeremiah Trotter is back with the Eagles. The Eagles signed the 32-year-old veteran to a one-year deal at the league minimum.  To make room for Trotter, Jeff Garcia was axed (pun intended).

I’m assuming that Trotter was brought in to give special teams another abled body, give the fans something else to get excited about, and probably use in some short-yardage situations.  Hopefully the time off benefited Trotters bum knees.

I wouldn’t have any problems with Kolb and McCoy as the starters for the rest of the year.
