Look, I've been trying to go to the gym  and the gun range lately and I've been traveling to New York and Philly this past week, can you blame me? Have a little compassion.

Are there actually people that are pissed off by the move? I know I am not pissed, it just doesn't really excite me that much.  Then again not much does at this point.  I haven't had a drink in 4 months.

No.  Exactly.  And sorry to hear that.

SAMUEL SET TO JOIN THE FLOCK

Various media reports, collected and referenced by our good friends at SportingNews.com, indicate that cornerback Asante Samuel will indeed sign a contract with the Eagles on Friday.

It's reportedly a five-year, $47.2 million deal.  To the casual fan, that's short of the $10 million per year average from the eight-year, $80 million deal signed last year by Nate Clements of the 49ers.  As everyone in PFT Planet knows, the Clements deal is actually seven years and $64 million, making it worth a hair over $9 million per year.

Samuel's deal carries an average of nearly $9.5 million.  They could have added a phony final year that would have pushed the average to $10 million per year or more, and we respect both sides for doing what looks to be a "real" deal.

Also, there's a certain irony regarding the five-year duration of the contract.  Typically, the Eagles like to lock players up for looooong periods of time.  As it now stands, Samuel's deal will expire before the contracts signed by some of the young players who cashed in early.

If it is indeed a 5 year $47.2 million deal then thats a pretty good deal considering the deal Clements got last offseason. Still no report on his guaranteed money.

I am punching you in the face right now, you just don't know it.
