Crazy Game In The Meadowlands!!!

Eagles win 45-38 over the Giants for first place in the division. It was back and forth all night and included some fumbles, an interception, some screw ups by the refs and even some punches thrown. Eagles' Jackson ties NFL record for touchdowns of 50-plus yards. Ultimately McNabb and "Action" Jackson won this game for the birds who soar to 9-4 atop the NFC East....

To Eagles Fans: Does 5-2 feel like unfamiliar territory?

It should:

Pretty amazing how often we've been 4-3 under Reid.

Eagles Win!! Eagles Win!!!

Eagles pull a stunner out of their hats by laying down a cool 40 points on the Giants with the final score 40-17. What makes this win even more sweet is that most everybody had the Giants winning this game with such excuses as, "Well, Westbrook will be out", "Will Witherspoon must still get acclimated to the Eagles defensive scheme", and my favorite, "There is no way the Giants are going to lose 3 games in a row". Well, they just did. :)

Eagles are now in first place in the NFC East. The Cowboys winning earlier today sets up an epic prime-time game next Sunday night in Dallas. Both have 5-2 records. Can't wait.

Michelle Obama arrives in Copenhagen for IOC vote

Quote:

COPENHAGEN – Michelle Obama's welcoming party was more like a stopover. She chatted with the ambassador, kissed Chicago Mayor Richard Daley on the cheek and gave her old friends quick hugs hello before climbing into the waiting SUV. With only two days until the 2016 games are awarded, there's no time to waste. --snip-- Funny, gracious and incredibly accomplished, she's one of the few people who can rival her husband's popularity. She also knows the neighborhoods where the games would be, having grown up on the South Side of Chicago. The Obamas' Chicago home is a short walk from the planned Olympic stadium. "These are my neighborhoods," Mrs. Obama said. --snip-- Mrs. Obama planned to meet with IOC members later Wednesday and Thursday, and also has a meeting scheduled with Rogge. She'll attend Chicago's welcome bash — along with Oprah Winfrey — and has lunch plans Thursday with the Danish queen. On Friday, she and her husband will both be part of Chicago's final presentation to IOC members. "We're not going to sing together or anything," Mrs. Obama said recently, drawing laughs. "I don't know if I can elaborate any more without giving away too much of it. ... All I have are my stories, my experiences as a Chicagoan, as an American, as someone who believes deeply that health and fitness have got to play a greater role in the lives of our kids and our communities, and as someone who believes that the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be the best way to bring that message home."

Eagles training camp report from Wingheads 8/6

I made the 120mile trek up to Lehigh this morning. It was my first time
ever making it out. I didnt take notes but a few things did stand out to me.

I liked Avant before today but I like him even more now. He completely
turned around every corner that he faced today in drills. He's not the
fastest guy but he changes direction without telegraphing whats coming
before hand better then any WR on the team.

Sean Jones- Seemed to always be around the football on D, had an
excellent pick (Mcnabb) in the endzone to go along with a couple PD's.
Was completely abusive defending the gunner on ST's... Im not even sure
that a gunner made it down the field on him once without hitting the
deck first. He stood out to me. Seemed very physical.

Jackson- The guy glides past DB's and makes it look easy doing it. He
can flat out fly. He looked great today.

Maclin- Had a couple nice catches but... The body language is poor to
me. Walks back to the huddle after plays doesen't seem interested in
finishing plays strong. I noticed he was often on the sideline alone. I
could be reading too much into it, and it may be nothing but thats what
I saw. Maybe he's still getting into the swing of things, who knows.

I was hoping to see more of Ingram, but he didnt do much. Maybe they're
taking it easy on that knee that had some swelling yesterday. He is a
specimen though.

Mays brings the wood. Had a nice open field tackle on McCoy and
generally seemed to be doing a good job.

Samuel- He didnt look especially impressive in one on one drills, but
when they went to the 7-7's and such he was all over it. I guess he
really does read n react well. He picked off Donnie once...

It was a pretty cool experience. Not sure I'll be doing that a whole
bunch the 4AM wakeup sucks lol

Vick released from federal custody, but his NFL future still unknown

Yes, he did the crime, but he also did the time. He kind of unfairly became a punching bag for people who may have something against black athletes, especially black athletes who are very successful at what they do. Of course what he did was wrong, but people aren't perfect. He deserves a second shot and personally I believe he should be reinstated.
