This Team Will NOT Win Anything... Ever.

[QB Eagles]

My favorite part is when he says the team has made mistakes, yet they go unspecified.

[General_Failure]

He's right when he says they put themselves in position to compete for a title. That means they're able to make the playoffs consistently. Unfortunately, they don't put themselves in position to win that title.

Thank you god for Spring Training and that hopeful, positive, excited feeling.  Oh and god, can you send down a lightening bolt on the Novacare Complex?

[General_Failure]

Didn't god just try to kill you with a tidal wave?

[Eagaholic]

Nah, god was just farging with them

[ice grillin you]

the eagles made the superbowl then had an offseason that consisted of mike macmahon....that is NOT a committment to winning it all

There are no such guarantees in this great game and in this great league. Brian Westbrook was treated wonderfully in his time as an Eagle and he will be remembered as a great player here and a great person.

GREAT!!

not to think too far ahead but i keep wondering how the nfl/eagles will handle season tickets come 2011 if there is a lockout. will we have to pay to keep our tickets and let the team sit on our money and earn the interest while we sit back and watch millionares and billionares have a vag battle royale ?

[ice grillin you]

i would think so....the invoice for tickets comes out prior to the start of the new nfl calender year...which is when i presume a lockout would occur

[smeags]

total bullshtein, my dad gave his tickets to me in 87 when they made him pay for replacement players which was a slap in the face. i thought it may be different this time around considering they can not use scabs.

so once again both sides will go on & on about how the other side is screwing over the fans while both have their fists rammed elbow deep up our arses.

[ice grillin you]

well i dont know this for sure....its just my opinion but i cant imagine they wont ask for the money...it will be like a squirrel burying nuts for the winter

i actually dont mind it...its not like we will be paying for games that arent played...or in the case of the scabs for games that are not NFL worthy

[smeags]

well no doubt the money would roll to the following season but it's the point of the teams being allowed to earn the interest off the millions & millions off ticket money while not delivering a product.

just to throw numbers out there - nothing concrete of course but say there are 60k season ticket holders and they all pay $700. that mneans the team can earn the interest off of $42mil while they have next to zero overhead as there would be no games, thus no payroll for coaches, players and all the way down to the ushers.

[ice grillin you]

i get your point and its a fair one...but not something i personally care about...i dont really care what the team makes especially if they arent taking more money from my pocket...i guess technically id be losing out on a few bucks of interest on the 700 but thats not enough to really get me angry

i would be way more upset if say the league didnt play the 2011 season then in february of 2012 they raised our ticket prices because they didnt have their normal revenue streams for an entire year

[smeags]

yeah what upsets me is the owners wwill be crying poor while earning that interest and then most likely as you pointed out raise ticket prices while using the excuse that they lost money in 2011.
