Brian Westbrook Is Not There And Not Expected To Show UP!!

[rjs246]

Something tells me the media won't be slamming Westbrook at all

Westbrook doesn't show up, which is news, and the ESPN article focuses on TO showing up, which everyone knew was going to happen. The entire sports media population needs to pick the TO pubes from their teeth and learn about what is actually news.

This is from PFT...

Per a little-known league rule, if Westbrook stays out past August 8, he will forfeit the ability to become an unrestricted free agent in 2006.  Players under contract who fail to report within 30 days prior to the commencement of the regular season lose a year of service credit.

If true, this holdout is gonna be short.

From PFT:

While Eagles receiver Terrell Owens opted to report for the start of the team's training camp, running back Brian Westbrook surprisingly decided to stay away.

Westbrook signed a one-year restricted free agent tender earlier in the offseason and reported for a mandatory minicamp, which Owens skipped.  Westbrook wants a long-term deal, and even though he's now represented by the same agent as quarterback Donovan McNabb, our guess is that the Eagles will take a hard line, fining Westbrook for each day of his absence.

Because, however, Westbrook's RFA tender did not include a signing bonus, the team will only be able to impose daily fines until he shows up. 

Per a little-known league rule, if Westbrook stays out past August 8, he will forfeit the ability to become an unrestricted free agent in 2006.  Players under contract who fail to report within 30 days prior to the commencement of the regular season lose a year of service credit.

As to Owens, his decision to report comes on the same day the television cameras caught a lukewarm greeting by Owens of his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

Pretty soon PG and I will be be seeing eye to eye on everything from the Eagle's personel decisions to how to respond correctly to message board sarcasm and facetiousness. I might as well open a vein.

Do I know you?

Simon just likes to make any excuse not to show, because he's a lazy fat ass.

Maybe Westbrook's on his rag?

Careful, you might offend.

I don't even know myself anymore. Go baseball! You're gay! The Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, Wings and Sixers can do no wrong! Everything anyone writes about sports rumors is nonsense!   Your mom and I had sexual relations last night! And several times prior! And since! Yay! Oh sweet freedom.
