Eagles Sponsorships

Father Demon · July 19, 2005, 11:23:06 AM

I've seen this opn a couple boards in St. Louis, and it works pretty well. The idea is that each member of the Eagles (players, coaches, and executives) are "sponsored" by a member of CF. As an example, speaking with MURP today I know that he will be sponsoring Dawkins, and since he is, Dawkins is off the eligibility list. Each player/coach/exec can only have one sponsor -- first to claim him gets the rights to him.

To sponsor someone, you need to add a signature picture and statement "Proud Sponsor of {Name}." Everyone from Joe Banner to assistant coaches down to Jimmy Kibble is eligible.

Basically, you become the "spokesman" for that person from there on out. If he does great, you brag and take the accolades. But more likely, if he fargs up, you get all the trash-talking and have to defend him. Like if Dawkins missed a runner who scored the winning touchdown, MURP would have a whole lotta splainin to do.

To start things off, I'll be sponsoring #54, Jeremiah Trotter.

How can you not have Choppa?

I call shenanigans!

Yes, I know it's blasphemous. But I am scouting the roster as we speak for a replacement for Five Fo. #32 & #77 are the front runners...

Seabiscuit36 · July 19, 2005, 11:39:40 AM

Gimmie Mike Lewis

Larry · July 19, 2005, 11:42:22 AM

I've seen this on KC boards...they call it "adopt-a-chief".

I could take the easy way out and select Mornhinweg: "Hey, Andy Reid calls all the plays, right?", but I think I'll take something a wee-bit more challenging--

Pinkston.

Sgt PSN · July 19, 2005, 11:42:54 AM

~~Gimme Pinkston. This should be fun.~~

Damn you to hell Larry!!!!!

Gotta think of a new one. $:-\$

PhillyPhreak54 · July 19, 2005, 11:44:30 AM

Well...since the guy with the screen name describing Westbrook and the avatar showing Matt McCoy took my #2 choice

I will take SHAWN ANDREWS

Larry · July 19, 2005, 11:45:14 AM

Beat you by 32 seconds...the time it takes for Big-play Pinkston to run up and down the field 3 times!

PhillyPhreak54 · July 19, 2005, 11:45:58 AM

Sarge got beat by Larry by 30 seconds for Pinky. Has anyone ever fought over Pinky before?

Also - I'd be willing to take 2 players. I'd like to sponsor the starting OG's - both Big Nasty and Artis. Can we do this?
