Random Eagles information not worthy of a new thread

This is the new safe place to keep it.


I guess never ending "rankings" are the current swill the media tries to feed the public when they have nothing of substance to offer. This is the silliest one I've recently come across from a blog that quotes "Men's Health."  I don't read the mag but I've seen a few articles posted elsewhere, generally cliche and predictable crap, half the time written by women.

Where's the obsession, Philly fans?

This is an Eagles blog, but any Philadelphia sports fan should be offended by the conclusions reached by the folks at Men's Health on this one ...

In its July/August issue, the magazine ranked the sports obsession levels of fans in cities around the country.

Philly was listed as No. 84. Yes, No. 84 and earned a grade of D-.

As we mentioned this to folks around Eagletarian headquarters, each had the same quizzical look on his face and said, "Eighty-fourth? Eighty-fourth?"

Here is a sense of the criteria the magazine used: how many people attended baseball, basketball, and football games (college and pro), and attendance at high school events. NASCAR attendance was factored in as was numbers for TV and radio audiences, the Scarborough Sports Marketing figures on the number of people vying for tickets, sales of team gear and how many people identify themselves as fanatics.

Here are the six cities that earned A's:

1) Arlington, Texas  A+

2) Aurora, Colo.  A+

3) Colorado Springs, Colo.  A+

4) Indianapolis  A

5) Columbus, Ohio  A-

6) Jacksonville, Fla.  A-

Forth Worth and Dallas were next, giving Texas three of the top eight.

At least, Philly can say it is better than New York, which came in 88th and also with a D-.

Or Los Angeles at No. 91, another D-

Or Miami, the bottom of the list, at No. 100, with an F.

Jacksonville, lol. And more proof that first class a-hole Jerry Jones has a full time self promotion industry with shills like Gil Brandt,  Deion Sanders, etc., and publications like "Men's Health."

I see what you did there. Take your sophistries and arguments of paradox elsewhere, like the Asian porn section.

Men's Health?  Please.  The magazine that shows you the 150,000 different ways to do a bench press.  Can't wait for the next issue when they discuss the 179,856 way to do a pull up!  Oh and the issue where they tell you to eat healthier and exercise.  Amazing stuff.

Yeah, but the guy on the cover is hot and if you buy the magazine, you will be too.

I know WTF?  I guess adding Heineken to my protien shake wasn't to smart.

[Diomedes]

[Sgt PSN]

Heineken in Amsterdam is farging amazing.

Then again, if you're in Amsterdam, you probably should be doing other things than drinking Heineken.

[Don Ho]

McDermott on 'The System'
"I don't necessarily think there's one particular one that I would say, 'This is what I'm going to do,' " he said. "I think over the years you come up with several. Then, quite honestly, there are things you say, 'If I ever had my chance this is what I'll do,' and when you get your chance you kind of stray away from it for certain reasons that are in the best interest of the team. Until you are in that spot, you never really know what it means to be in that spot. It's like until you do a job you've never done the job. But there are things that we'll add at the right time."

This guy is destined to succeed AR
