ANDREWS SPEAKS, BUT SAYS NOTHING
Posted by Mike Florio on July 29, 2008, 5:18 p.m. EDT

Eagles guard Shawn Andrews has given an interview to ESPN Radio in Philly, during which he addressed rampant rumors regarding his five-days-and-counting unexcused absence from the team.

"You can let everyone know all the rumors are not true," Andrews said.  "From contractual to retirement, and God knows whatever else is being said.  I'm prayed up right now and trying to get right though. "

OK, so if you're going to say the rumors (whatever they are) aren't true, why not say what's really going on?  Providing information is usually a pretty effective way to quash uninformed speculation.

Andrews never said that the rumors weren't true. He said "all the rumors are not true."

Wouldn't it be easier if it's a mental health issue just to say it's an excused absence?  Doesn't wash.

could it be that his fat ass just wants to avoid camp for however long he can.

[MURP]

to sum it up:

emotionally sensitive football player acquires Hugh Douglas training camp syndrome with a touch of contract jealousy.  Cant decide what hurts him more: lack of love, money or food.  Will eventually report to camp and dominate in regular season.   Quietly, his brother, who was drafted in later rounds, will prove to be the better pick overall in years to come.  Another sad draft for the Eagles.

 Reading that put a rock in my gut.

RUNYAN TEES OFF ON ANDREWS
Posted by Mike Florio on July 30, 2008, 8:36 p.m.

Eagles right tackle Jon Runyan doesn't like the fact that right guard Shawn Andrews isn't present at training camp.  And Runyan isn't bashful about the subject.

"It's not helping us and it's not helping him sitting out," Runyan said.  "The longer he holds out, the longer it'll be before he gets in there.  So it's going to be a tough situation.  If you keep giving reps to the guy who's backing you up, at some point, he's going to pass you."

It's curious that Runyan would use the words "holds out."  The phrase implies that Andrews is absent because he wants more money.

[General_Failure]

OMG first he said that Andrews is sitting out, then he says Andrews is holding out. Why won't you tell us the truth, Runyon?!

[rjs246]

He would, but he's too busy shaving his neckspine.

[General_Failure]

Electric razor on a stick?
