BEST OVERALL SITE and BEST FAN INTERACTIVITY for 2006 (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/homeNewsDetail.jsp?id=46863)
Let the flaming commence.
GET SPADARO!
serious posts only please.
Good for them. They deserve it, too. If you take a quick tour around some of the other teams' sites, you'll see that plenty of them outright suck. Even farging :CF is better than some.
Spadaro deserves a healthy share of credit for that award. He's a PR man, it's a PR site. He's good at what he does. It is what it is.

I heard we traded Owens!
no dude, i think that's a joke.
Oh. I guess I should stick to PE.com for actual Eagles news, then. We should probably keep discussion on issues with the content of CF's non-forum site in the Feedback section.
I think the Falcons won Best Overall last year. I wonder who won Best Content this year though.

HOLLA!

It is what it is agreed, I think we all have a better insite to the team, the players, and what going on because of his insite.
Wow. I like how the NFL actually does give it to the best site instead of trying to spread the award around the league a little. Seems like we win this every year.

This is like, totally better than Super Bowl trophies.
How many awards does your team's website have?
Spads: Eagles are looking good at RB/FB (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=47114)
Now, we see why the site wins awards. Hard-hitting reporting there.
If you need me, I'll be vomiting for the next few hours.

worst written piece in spads career?

It's right up there. I mean... I understand the need to spin and all, but... Wow.
QuoteSo let's talk about fullback. Josh Parry has started for two seasons and knows the offense inside and out. He's a good blocker and a physical player and he does a very capable job at the position.
QuoteNobody doubts the explosiveness of the Westbrook-Moats combination, but who do the Eagles turn to when they call a running play on a third-and-1 handoff?
No wonder they win so many awards. Everyone loves a good joke.
QuoteNow the question: Do the Eagles need a big back to round out the group? The answer will be a yes if the Eagles draft one, or if they sign or trade for one in the future.
Spads could be a weatherman.
Anchorman: Hey Dave, are we getting any rain tomorrow?
Dave: If you walk outside tomorrow and get wet or if you're driving in your car and need to turn the wipers on, then yes.

Well, the WR's are next so don't expect it to come from there.
The WR's are fine, obviously.
Btw... this doesn't deserve it's own thread, but it deals with PE.com content... but is this really the best we have to offer?!
There's a fave cheerleader poll or something like that going on over there and these butterfaces are the Final 4. Come the farg on...

Just that we're supposed to be up near the top of the league on the cheerleader front... and these 4 sure as hell don't represent that.

I'm saying "passable" in the sense that these are supposed to be the hottest cheerleaders on the squad. To me... these chicks don't rate up there. Doesn't mean I wouldn't try to drill a hole completely through them, or just about any of the chicks on the squad for that matter... just means that these 4 are not the cream of the crop on the squad.
Btw... I don't find the sista that hot to be honest. She's aiiight, but for some reason, she reminds me too much of my cousin's wife who I can't stand. Maybe that has something to do with it.
she reminds me a little bit of deacons wife on king of queens...but much hotter
Speaking of Eagles cheerleading competition, I'm going to one tonight at the Kenswick theater on 309. There's 67 girls, winner gets a spot on the squad.
Dave on WR's
Ha.
:puke
I'm at least glad that he's not trying to overpimp Greg Lewis again this year.
"spreading the ball around" is a polite way of saying the eagles wr's blow chunks
it makes me physically violent when dave trots out that line
can you be anything other than "physically violent"?

You can be violently physical. Step outside and I'll show you what I'm talkin 'bout.
Just got back from the Keswick theater, Adrienne is the hottest freaking girl alive. She came out in her bathing suit and teased like she was gonna pull it down. All the girls were friggen hot, I got to vote on who I thought should make the squad. Shame to say it was one of the highlights of my life.
That's pathetic.
(so, did you take any pictures?)
Much better pic of the redhead.
(http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/uploads/photos/perm/main/GLIJLFBHFKKH/cheer_357Deez_060419.jpg)
I'd still hit the black girl at least thrice before giving the redhead any action.
P.S. Dave on TE's (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=47273)
QuoteThey stepped out early in free agency and signed Schobel. He was, clearly, a priority to sign. And now the Eagles think they have their most athletic twosome at tight end -- a pair that blocks adequately and can provide big-time benefits in the passing game.
Spads ripping aside... I actually think Dave is on point here. If the speculation is correct in that the Eagles will use a whole lot of 2 TE sets, Smith and Schobel can be a helluva pass catching duo. Both are speedy as hell and can get vertical against a LB or S.
As long as when Dave says that they "block adequately", he means that they can at least "get in the way" of a pass rush... the 2 TE set should prove to be pretty big for us.
But then he goes and fargs it up with this:
QuoteAnd while those three are locks to make the roster, the only question at the position would seem to be this: Could the Eagles finagle a way to carry a fourth tight end? Maybe. They've done it in the past. That is why there is still reason to develop young talents like Stephen Spach and Andy Thorn, both of whom came from the undrafted rookie pile last spring to play well in the summer.
Spach made it to the 53-man roster and stayed there all of last year. He has an upside -- he runs pretty well and he's a good blocker -- and Thorn looks like he can be a pass-catching tight end in this league.
Outside of the "feel good" story of Spach contributing in some sort of H-back/FB role... there's absolutely no reason to remember either his or Thorn's names this year.
i liked the schobel signing from the get go...i have him penciled in for 5+ td's this year
lol @ dave always touting the upside of UFA's

No, but the poon in the audience was just as good as the poon on the stage.

Agreed... Schobel will be one of, if not the big red zone threats for the offense this year.
The Eagles are totally stacked at OT! (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=47353)
its amazing! its incredible!! the eagles have EVERYTHING at offensive tackle experience...youth....depth...WOW!
eagles first round pick:
OFFENSIVE TACKLE winston justice
I can't wait to see his breakdown of DT and LB. High comedy.
daves out of control hyperbole aside...the tackle position is quite good
but yes his columns are funny and infuriating all at the same time

I like the Howard/Kearse/Cole combo... but if Spads thinks it's better than either the Giants or Falcons he's kidding himself...
You know what's funnier than Spadaro's columns? People who bash them.
If you have anything other than a lump of mashed potatoes between your ears, you know exactly, precisely what you're going to get from him before you read his columns. Yet remarkably some of you still expect something different. Isn't that the definition of insanity?
:-D
no different than people who listen to stern everyday....people know what they are getting with him yet they continue to listen
spads is a great source of humor...in fact he is much better than someone like stern because he is unintentionally funny (and maddening)
loving to hate spads is practically an eagle tradition now

Obviously we all know what he's going to say... It never gets old laughing at it though.
If you say so.
I still laugh at Bugs Bunny cartoons I've seen 100 times in the past. The difference is, I don't expect them to change every time I watch them.

Bugs Bunny cartoons have changed. A lot of cartoons from way back when have been edited to be a little more PC.

extremely outrageous.

I have the original, unedited versions on a box set my wife bought me for Christmas a few years ago.
They're as overtly racist and bigoted as you can get. Ironic considering a black man (Mel Blanc) did the voice characterizations for most of the Looney Tunes characters.
It's interesting to see demonization of the Japanese and Germans in some of those cartoons as well.
Anyway... back on topic... :)

I do think it would be interesting to see Spads chasing Mel Blanc around a laboratory in slow motion tripping on ether.
So this Chris Steuber guy really has a boner for the NFL draft.
Can't listen to Eagles Live today. Would appreciate all the fun updates. w0ot.

Moats' reaction to the draft:
QuoteI watched a little bit of the NFL Draft last weekend. Honestly, I think the NFL Draft has more to do with popularity than actual talent. I'm not saying that teams are picking players because of their popularity, but a lot of it has to do with what school you went to. Not to say that those guys can't play, because they obviously can. It makes me feel bad that there are some athletes out there that won't get the look that players who went to big-time schools get. There is nothing wrong with that, they just have to fight their way to the top.
A year ago, I knew that teams thought Ronnie Brown, Cadillac Williams and Cedric Benson were the top three running backs. I thought I was No. 4. I looked around and I saw Maurice Clarett and I think his off-the-field issues got him in trouble. Vernand Morency, I thought I was better than him when you compare our college careers. I had a feeling though that because I went to Louisiana Tech teams would pass on me. It's a business. If a team can get you at a lower pick, they'll do that not because you're not good it's because they won't have to pay you as much. Morency went four picks before me.
If there is something good about being picked lower, it gives you more fight and fire to do well.
The Eagles did really well in the draft. They picked up some good players. Winston Justice, I didn't think he would make it into the second round. I didn't think he was going to fall that far, but he did. That's something right there. He's obviously good, USC had a pair of 1,000-yard rushers last year. I think he's going to be good.
And Max Jean-Gilles? He looks just like Shawn Andrews. It seems like we're going to try and run next season. They got these two big powerhouse guys. They are run-oriented linemen. Hey, as long as Brian and I get the ball a little bit whether it's running or receiving, football is football. I can't lie though, I am excited. It's going to be fun.
I'm also excited because I'm not a rookie anymore. I feel more comfortable now. I just want to get rocking.
I didn't pay that much attention to the second day of the draft, so I didn't hear about Artis Hicks getting traded until my fiancee told me. I went through enough heart attacks last year with the draft. I spent the day at home and had a gathering with my family. You can't control it, so you might as well pick up your bag and go to wherever you're drafted. When I was picked, I already had the fire in my belly because I dropped. I thought I would have been selected in the second round. But because I went to a small school and I'm short, I didn't get picked as high as I thought I should have.
That's why I love how the Eagles draft. They go by what players did on the field and not because of what others said or what school they went to. They picked people who were good.
The Eagles didn't draft another running back. That makes me feel like I did something last year. That I showed the Eagles a little something and the running backs as a group showed a little something. But I can't rest on what I did last year; I'm ready to get it going for this year. I've been working hard. I try to envision what my role will be for this year, but I don't know.
Maybe you'll see me and Westbrook in the game at the same time. Maybe not. I'll learn more when we go into mini-camp. I've been working hard though. I've been trying to keep myself ready. I'm physically ready and when mini-camp begins, I can start to get physically ready. I lost a lot of weight last year. I put a lot of pressure on myself. It's good to put pressure on yourself. I needed to do well. I wanted to do well. I tried to force myself to do well. Until I had some success, I was like a robot. I wasn't able to calm down. Now, I'm a lot looser and I can just play football and have fun.

That would be great if he stood on the star at Texas stadium after a TD. He'd instantly become one of my favorite players off all time.
If he scores a TD in Texas Stadium, I don't care what he does afterwards.
In fact, I'd rather he hands the ball to the ref in Barry Sanders-like fashion and jogs to the sideline.

I doubt your sincerity?
Ok, stop.

I might buy an Avant jersey if he actually gets some playing time so he can produce. I'll think about buying a Bunkley jersey.

Right now, yeah they're all taken. He could have had 96 before Gaither maybe, Grasmanis is going to be cut anyways.

absolutely everything...in order tho
1. the material...hate how its shiny and slippery looking
2. the green...awful...sometimes it looks almost blue green espcially on the white jerseys
3. the eagle...cartoonish...and the animal having to look mean is so cliche...the spread winged eagle was money
4. the line on the jersey that seperates the shoulders from the chest is retarded...no reason to have that there
5. the numbers...i dont like the 3-d look of them...

doubt it. no when everthing is built and designed around it. in another 5-10 years, maybe...especially if the seats in the linc need to be replaced.
besides he can't just change it on a whim. he'd have to get nfl approval.
I prefer the early 80's version of the jersey myself.

1. the material...hate how its shiny and slippery looking
2. the green...awful...sometimes it looks almost blue green espcially on the white jerseys
3. the eagle...cartoonish...and the animal having to look mean is so cliche...the spread winged eagle was money
4. the line on the jersey that seperates the shoulders from the chest is retarded...no reason to have that there
5. the numbers...i dont like the 3-d look of them...
I like the midnight green much better than the Kelly green. I loved the Eagle in flight with the football in it's talons, but I also like the new look of the Eagle head, even though I think they could have made it more realistic. It would look better if you could tell it had feathers, imo.
If there are any changes to the uniforms, I shore hope they don't mess with the wings.

6. the names on the back change so often, they should use velcro, instead of sewing them on.

BTW, there is no way I'm buying any jerseys this year. I have a feeling Jeffrey is about to change the logo again.
Are you privy to information I (we) am not?
If he changes the logo that is going to cost major greenbacks fixing all the signs in the Linc and at the NovaCare Complex...

I'll just throw this in here vice starting another thread. Parcells was on NFL radio this morning, tuned in late so I might have missed any TO questions - altough its doubtful the host asked him any, otherwise it'd be front page news on ESPN by now . The host asked him about the teams in the division and he singled us out as the team with the best offseason. Said we made many of the necessary moves to be back to an elite team. Also singled Howard out, said he loves his game and thinks he's going to have a huge impact.

I would be suprised if the D-Line rotation didn't have somewhere around 30 sacks this year. A lot of the Eagles perceived flaws will away with the shoring up of both lines. Once they get all the rooks signed I will be extremely happy with the offseason.

Actually, I did catch the tail-end of their TO discussion. Basically he just made excuses for him, and said they would have some extended meetings with TO and the position coach to go over the new offense.
saying the eagles had the best offseason is clearly a direct shot at TO :o

This poll (http://org-www.philadelphiaeagles.com/fanzone/rankem.jsp) brings up an interesting point:
Who is less likely to make the Pro Bowl this season: Dhani Jones or Todd Pinkston?
Hilarious stuff.
latest Sheldon Brown blog (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/homeNewsDetail.jsp?id=48847)
These compromise (thanks, grammar police!) probably the best content on the site. Brown kicks ass.
Quote"I thought Donovan looked great. The guys responded to him and the new players really picked on Donovan's leadership. He was very communicative and the tempo of the offense was great. There was a lot of chatter in the huddle. I could see that. I liked it. Plus, we got the ball to Brian Westbrook a lot, which is something we need to do.
Hey, wait a second. What's Brown trying to suggest here?
That's a pretty obvious shot at Donovan's leadership skills. Good God, here we go again.

QuoteThe seller ended this listing early because the item was lost or broken.

Lost or Broken. Sounds like a James Frey novel. Uhm..I mean memoir. ^-^
That most likely means that he found out it was stolen and is giving it back to Spads.
Lost or broken is eBay's default reason for shutting down the auction.
The seller decided that HE would be "lost or broken" if he ended up in jail.
So, which one of you nerds was pattyo44?

All Fun For A Good Cause
June 10, 2006
By ZACH BERMAN
Donovan McNabb drew the spotlight as he roamed around the NovaCare Complex's indoor practice facility on Saturday joking with kids, his trademark smile never leaving his face during his annual All-Star Kids Football Clinic. Some of McNabb's teammates and other NFL players were scattered throughout, putting children clad with McNabb's jersey through drills the players went through during the week at the organized team activity.
The clinic gave a select group of kids the chance to learn football from McNabb and other Eagles and NFL players. Eagles running back Brian Westbrook and receiver Todd Pinkston were among McNabb's teammates in attendance, while Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowl defensive end Bertrand Berry and NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson were among the other players supporting McNabb's foundation, The Donovan McNabb Foundation which helps support the American Diabetes Association.
McNabb's father, Sam, has type 2 diabetes. The clinic concluded a charity weekend which included an online auction and a dinner party Friday night at Philadelphia's Zanzibar Blue.
But the focus of the clinic was on the kids, all of whom wore McNabb's jersey. And the irony is while the kids played football and enjoyed themselves, it was McNabb and the other players who seemed to have the most fun while they helped the kids.
WR Todd Pinkston was on hand to help out
"I enjoy having an opportunity to come out here with the kids and then these guys that we compete every Sunday with, and to have guys like Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson here, it's a blast for me," McNabb said before the clinic. "You want all the kids to meet and greet new guys. A lot of guys wanted to be a part of this, but couldn't because of they had either camp or prior engagements. But for the guys that are here and a part of it, we're going to have a great time.
"First you have to focus on the cause, and that's to raise money to help find a cure (for diabetes). And after that, let's buckle down and have some fun."
And the players took it seriously. Westbrook coordinated a group of kids to practice running back drills and race another group, and Westbrook didn't shy away from trying to win. Sam McNabb helped organize the event and watched the players and kids at work. He wasn't surprised by what he saw.
"These (players) are kids at heart anyways," Sam said. "They fit right in."
McNabb walked around throughout the event, interacting with the kids and maintaining his usual sense of humor. In the receiver drills - where Pinkston played the role of quarterback - McNabb came over to block a kid's way, drawing laughter from the group.
"I've been coming for the last three years, and the longer I've come, the bigger the crowd," Pinkston said. "It's great for not only Donovan, but for all these kids."
Stations were split up throughout the practice facility with different positions the focus of different stations. One station was run by offensive linemen, including second-round pick Winston Justice and Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie. Pinkston and St. Louis Rams tight end Roland Williams helped coordinate the receiver station. Westbrook worked with the running backs, as did Dickerson.
"They're learning the game of football from a young age, and they have the professionals to help them do it," Westbrook said. "We're a team here. Anytime you get a chance to help the community out, it's really all about the kids. I love to help Donovan out anytime I can, but I love to help the kids a lot more."
Good stuff. :yay I bet those kids had a ball. One cool thing is they all got jerseys, the look like they may be authentic to boot. It is really a 180 to the T.O Youth Camp debacle, which you can read about in the "Assface Signs with Dallas" thread in Around the NFL forum.
