Are you ready for some football?

Today is a glorious day. The sun is shining. Birds are singing. The NFL kicks off the regular season tonight!

Eagles vs. Rams, things to consider:
Steve Jackson's carries. It's no secret that Steven Jackson is what drives the St. Louis Rams these days. The greatest show on turf has packed up, and moved to greener pastures. Now, he will be required to shoulder the load of this teams offense. Early reports are that his carried against the Eagles will be limited. If that is the case, the Eagles should easily steamroll the Rams. I never thought that I would say these words but, thank you holdout!
Injury Report. The Rams injury report looks pretty clean, and we all know what our injury report looks like. Reggie Brown participated on a limited basis which ties into my next point of interest.
DeSean Jackson is getting the start. Reggie Brown had said previously that he would be ready for the home opener. Well, he sure as hell doesn't seem ready to me, and I'm not the only one. Andy Reid seems ready to put rookie DeSean "I'm gonna take your job" Jackson in the starting lineup. Brown will play in Sundays game, but will be used sparringly. Hamstring injuries are nagging, and can really inhibit your ability to perform. This is going to be a great test for Jackson. Let's see if he is able to create space, and make catches like he did in the preseason.

Other News:
Randall Cunningham loves us! That's right Philly, Randall "I can punt the ball too" Cunningham love you! I remember watching him play, and being amazed. Gets me almost nostalgic. Bring it home for Jerome!

Tony Romo, you are a marked man! They say that good quarterbacks have a certain moxy about them, a confidence, a swagger if you will. However, that moxy should be kept to the way that one carries themself, and not let it spew from ones tongue. Romo put his team on blast in the final episode of Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Dallas Cowboys. He might as well wear a big bulls eye on his jersey. He hasn't won a playoff game, he cried on the field, and now he's looking past the entire 2008 season to the Super Bowl.. He did a little back tracking later on, but that's not the point. The point is that a quarterback should exude a quiet confidence, and lead his team by example, not by the mouth. How can anyone that plays on the NFC East just look past your rivals. It's foolish to do so. Perhaps, Tony was taking a page out this guys book.

Tatum Bell, pervert, thief, or just misunderstood? Seriously, we get it, Rudi Johnson and the Lions smote you. Are you 10, or something? You stole his luggage, and then attempted to explain it away as misunderstanding. Just tell him the truth Tatum, you want to know what Rudi's man scent is like.


GO BIRDS!!!!
