Eagles release Simon

SD_Eagle5 · August 30, 2005, 12:05:28 AM

From Spads latest news and notes:

QuoteFinal thing on Simon: FOX's Brian Baldinger offered this unsolicited opinion of Simon Monday as we watched practice: "Dave, the Eagles didn't even lose a good player here. They lost a bad player. I watched every game at NFL Films. I studied Simon. There was no player on the ground more last year than Simon. They won't miss him a little bit."

Interesting....

Burress is sadly the best out of that bunch. Either him or Plummer.

That R. Jay Soward was a good one...

Mark Eckel is back to his Reid/Eagle bashing ways tonight. He hadn't really let loose on them in quite some time, but tonight on his WIP show he is showing how ridiculous he can be.

Mrs. Kevin Johnson says:

The Eagles are losers. Andy Reid and the Eagles cannot be given any credit until they win a Super Bowl. Callers bring up how Reid & Co. generally make the right decisions and Eckel gets snippy and goes off on a tangent about them just being another one of the 31 losers.

It sounds like they released his girlfriend. Seriously - the guy is suckin on some sour ass grapes tonight.

And the anti-Reid callers are out of the woodwork tonight too. One guy said he hopes he goes to the Chiefs and if he does, they'll win the SB.

We all know that Eckel hates Reid. But tonight he is making it obvious in a whiny-bitch type way.

Yo Eckel...stop whining, dope.

I heard him as well. STFU Eckel. Thank god it was dinner time so I could excuse myself from his bullshtein.

Big Ed:

Great list! Holy shtein what a horrible first round class. Sylveser Morriss is out of football isn't he?

?

I heard it. He was making himself sound foolish tonight. I eventually turned off the radio.

I actually heard him say he was the best player in the NFCCG. Uh... what?

He said the same stuff when we lost Vincent and Taylor. His argument is that it makes the Eagles weaker, but we don't know if it does yet. He is going purely on paper. Patterson could come in and tear apart offensive lineman for all we know. I also don't agree with him being are best DT. I think Walker was just as good as him last season. That is not etched in stone that Simon was our best DT, I'm sorry. When he got annoying I just turned him off.

That is one of the reasons why I can like Howard. Howard would just rip Eckel to pieces if he was co-hosting with him at the time.

Big Daddy started the show tonight by calling the Birds cheap...

I e-mailed him since I cannot call in tonight.

I hope he addresses it on air. I gave him a link proving the Eagles are not cheap. Let's see if he reads it...

WEST is GOD · August 30, 2005, 03:09:51 AM

Doubt it.

Brian Baldinger quote on Simon from the Eagles site:

Quote"Dave, the Eagles didn't even lose a good player here. They lost a bad player. I watched every game at NFL films. I studied Simon. There was no player on the ground more last year than Simon. They won't miss him a little bit."

And for those of you who will undoubtedly say that he is only saying that because he is talking to Spads, he ripped the Mike Patterson draft selection very hard back in April.

WEST is GOD · August 30, 2005, 03:25:51 AM

What did he say about Mike Patterson now?

PhillyPhreak54 · August 30, 2005, 03:32:32 AM

I believe he called in to Dave's Draft Live show and said he hated the pick of Patterson because he's too small and would be eaten alive by blockers.

WEST is GOD · August 30, 2005, 03:36:12 AM

I meant what does he think now as opposed to then?

PhillyPhreak54 · August 30, 2005, 03:45:23 AM

Couldn't tell ya. But he'll be on DNL in a week or two and we'll find out.

QuoteGibbs said the taterskins have discussed the possibility of signing star defensive end Corey Simon, who was released of his franchise tag by Philadelphia on Sunday, but did not expect to contend seriously for his services because of salary cap concerns. Washington is about $2.15 million under the cap, league sources said.

From The Washington Post....

Nice. I guess Simon is a DE now. Good research job, pal.

And of course the silly Skins fans are think he's a DE (way to watch the NFL, dopes) and they want him signed.

Eagles release Simon
