"Money over championships"

Big words from small man! It would seem that Wes Welker has supreme confidence in his team, but does that give him the right to make a statement like this? Is he taking a shot across the the Eagles' bow?

No, he is not qualified to make that type of statement. Tom Brady, Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel, Troy Brown to name a few have earned that right. Why would they have the right you ask? They all have the hardware to back it up. Wes Welker has not won a Super Bowl yet.

I don't think that he was taking a shot at the Eagles either. I do believe that people will interpret his statement that way, but what do you think?

1. Do you think that he was making a statement about the Bird's chances?

2. Do you think that he was making a statement as to the character of Samuels?

3. Is Wes Welker's lack of Super Bowl rings enough to discredit anything that he says in relation to championships?

Points of Interest

Due to some technical difficulties this post is s a day late, and buck short, but here it is anyways!!!

Yeah, I know that I have been a bad blogger, but don't hold that against me. Anywho, I am going to hit a couple of quick points today from my perch high above Center City. Enjoy!

1. Sen. Barack Obama has seen Eagles Fans, and brings guns to knife fights: At a Friday night fundraiser in Philadelphia Sen. Obama had the following things to say:
1. “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” . This is how he plans to counter attacks from the Republican party. Apparently this wasn't well received by all. Gun references don't go over well here. It's kind of an epidemic, but personally I like the analogy. Strong words. From a strong man!!

2. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I've seen Eagles fans.” Yes, we do like a good brawl now, and again. Who doesn't? However, what does an Eagles fan look like? Where is your research that backs up your accusations? Just kidding Obama. We have been known to get a little dirty up in this piece, but we are still good people.


2. No longer in the nest: 9 Eagles were cut this week. Most notably to me was LaJuan Ramsey. However, Jerome McDougle was not one who was on that list..... I have to ask the question why?? The guy has produced next to nothing, that is when he is physically able to play. I have been waiting for the Birds to cut ties with this guy for sometime, but he just keeps sticking around.

3. Putting all our marquee players in one baskett (The Injury Baskett): Not that I am worried about it, but I am. Donovan McNabb's shoulder, and Asante Samuel's hamgstring. Now there is still plenty of time for each of them to get healthy in time for training camp, but it worries me that they are injured.

4. The implosion that is the Football Giants: As an Eagles fan you have to love everything that is going on in East Rutherford, NJ. First, Michael Strahan retires. Then Jeremy Shockey reports to mini camps, only to duke it out (verbally) with the front office. Best of all, Plex isn't going to report unless Giants show him the money. I am not sure if there is any better example of a Championship team litterally crubmling brick by brick.

So, that's what I got for the time being. I hope that you enjoyed at least something about this post. I promise there's more to come.

Does anyone notice the resemblance between myself and Barack?
