I was going to say, as tough (and utterly shocking) as losing Kearse would be, it would be that much tougher for Minnesota losing Culpepper.

Well, Dio, you did it:  Gave about 1/2 of Eagles fans a heart attack.  :D

Big Ed would ban your ass from the EMB for pulling a stunt like this.

I figured it out shortly after I posted.  The thing that tricked me about it is that I'm always signed into sportsline.com and when I opened that link the little "welcome screen" was there along with the links to my sportsline fantasy football league. 

Regardless, I got punked.  Well played sir.  :)
