Tomorrow we get Peterson, Bernard, Givens and Howard.

I swear.

I can;t wait.

does this mean I can go to bed now, and they will be there tomorrow? unlike Bently.
I guess as long a Phreak says it and not Eckel.

JK dude

I'm going to pray to the football gods. Say your prayers tonight and maybe even you can sacrifice that Reno Mahe jersey to them as an offering.

Hey...at least he's cheap. $:-\$

SunMo · March 11, 2006, 10:12:48 PM

this is farging Twilight Zone shtein, no doubt. i am glad i sent my 1st $300 to the team yesterday

GuitarDreamer131 · March 11, 2006, 10:19:18 PM

Lol, do we really need to have a press conference for this guy?

Feva · March 11, 2006, 10:21:00 PM

For real... it's pretty embarassing.

PhillyPhreak54 · March 11, 2006, 10:21:41 PM

Hell yeah.

Then the Philly media can ask Big Red why they are trotting this guy out there and not someone worth a shtein. And then Mark Eckel can get some more inside info and we'll have another bogus story on Monday. Yay!

Even though I am pissed that this guy:
a. eliminates the possibility of Vernon Davis
b. isn't a great blocker

He could still be a decent addition provided they do something else. He will help in the RZ. And he ain't no Stephen Spach...which is good.

I'll just say that I am one big name signing away from totally losing it.

If one of Hutchinson, Bernard, or Howard get signed by someone, I'm seriously going to lose it. I can't believe this mother farging team has the FARGING BALLS, to not do SHTEIN so far. Where do they get the balls?

Where do they get the farging balls to finish 6-10 and give us a backup TE and nothing else on day one with no visits? farg them. The more I think about it the more steamed I get.

It's incomprehensible.

Feva · March 11, 2006, 10:30:34 PM

Thing is... we've been waiting for this farging day really since McNabb went down. We watched the rest of that zesty ass season knowing that we'd get a chance to get back to the top where we should be. A few days before, word gets out that we got a STUD that's gonna be the 1st step of putting 2005 to rest and moving ahead. We had to wait even longer through all that CBA bullshtein... but we knew that good shtein was coming.

We waited for MONTHS for this day... and were expecting LeCharles Bentley, 2 time Pro-Bowler with a farging mean streak... and we got... Matt... farging... Schoebel. A 2nd TE who can't block to save his life to compliment or 1st TE who can't block to save his life.

This was a zesty farging day... no doubt about it. farg this, I'm getting off this damn computer... and I'm done with football for the night because if I keep looking, I'm gonna see that somebody else we wanted signed somewhere else and I'm just gonna get even more heated.

I'll catch you cats tomorrow....

The BIGSTUD · March 11, 2006, 10:33:14 PM

Good idea. It's nice outside, I'm going to go hit the basketball courts for a couple hours.

I swear to god, if I come on tomorrow and we still have no visits, the Eagles are even more of a joke than Ed Wade and the Phillies. Yes, I mean that.

I can't imagine how mad I'll be tomorrow if there is still no word, but I have a gut feeling that I'll come on tomorrow and still no scheduled visits. What a joke it's going to be.

Sgt PSN · March 11, 2006, 11:04:50 PM

I've been drinking Red Stripe w/Capt Morgan (also mixed in a few Maker's Mark and Coke as well) since 4 o'clock and I'd still like to kill someone right now.

MadMarchHare · March 11, 2006, 11:26:11 PM

Jesus you guys need to get a grip. This isn't even surprising, is it? Especially with the "How can they do this to the fans?" I thought you idiots knew they didn't give a rat's ass about us. I think Reid and Co. want to win, I really do. But not for us. And if they think they can do it with the guys they have, they'll try.

Aren't you the same bunch of guys spouting "They deserve the benefit of the doubt"? All it took was one below .500 season to cure that. And a lot of booze.

Yeah, ridiculously so. In fact, he's so cheap that I don't think it eliminates the possibility of getting any other TE. In the meantime, the Eagles have an NFL-caliber backup to L.J. on the roster (unlike James Whalen last year), and they can consider case closed until the draft. The Eagles could still take a TE if he's at the top of their board after the 1st or 2nd round, but they don't HAVE to.

I'd rather wait to the end of the FA prime-signing period before I go into the Chicken Little routine.

That's no fun. Have to get it all in within the first day or you lose the impact.

I don't like it.

If they were going to get another TE it had to be either a phenomenal player (Davis) or an outstanding blocker. Schobel is neither.
I believe our old buddy Tony Stewart was taking playing time away from this gem of a player.

I'll go further. I hate it. Back-up in Cincy- what a fantastic credential that is. We need a much above average blocker to help max protect our increasingly injured QB, especially since we have a very poor fullback and the fact besides Westbrook, none of our RBs can pick up a blitz. It'll be a miracle if McNabb lasts long this season.
