I keep reading that the eagles are really eyeing up Eric Berry, and i have a major boner because of that

I have a feeling they're going to do something monumentally stupid in the first two rounds.

The man. The myth. The legend.

i mean i dont know 100%...but i follow the team as closely as anyone and i have never ever heard his name be mentioned in PP until the bogus PR campaign they started putting out about how he ran the draft last year

basically he was a money guy until his name started to be floated for GM and was subsequentily hired....then if you believe the eagles he all of a sudden had been scouting for the past ten years and ran the last couple drafts

oh, there's no doubt that the eagles are feeding the fans a bunch of bull when they say that howie's been involved for quite some time now.  no, he hasn't.  but i guess the figured the public backlash would be unbearable if they simply came out and said that they hired a 34 yr old lawyer who didn't even play pee wee ball to be in charge of evaluating talent.  so they opted to fudge his resume a little.  who knows though....he very well could have been "involved" in some player personnel decisions in some sort of unofficial role.....kind of like an intern or something.  i dunno. 

regardless, he's in a position of prominance right now and has a major play in the success of failure on the field over the next 3 or 4 years based on this draft/offseason alone.  hopefully he doesn't farg it up.

they might as well be eyeing up halle berry.  either way, all that's goign to happen is you stand there and drool instead of actually making a move.

if the eagles trade up in one i think its for haden or iupati/pouncey

Pouncey is the pick...you can book it.

Center has been an issue for years, and Reid has been able to get away with a revolving door of FA's.  He has tried to upgrade it before, there is no way Jackson is ready for the season since the ACL is at least a 12 month injury, and there is no one else on the roster that can play at a decent level.  Having a young, talented center for Kolb would fall in line with everything else they are trying to do.
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

theres no way to book anything with reid...he is totally unpredictable in the draft...not to mention we have no idea what kind of grade he has on pouncey (or any other player for that matter)

exactly why i have pipe dreams of Sweet Berry Wine.  You know he's going to look for OL and DL, but i never saw Maclin last year

This makes sense.

You agreeing with Joel on anything makes me a little queasy.

Just once I'd like to see how their big board compares with the so-called experts.

I have a feeling it's fairly similar but Reid has made so many "WTF?" picks over the years, you know there's a board with the reasonable list and one with "I'm smarter than everyone else" picks ready to roll.

Surely we can agree on a football matter?   Nothing wrong with that.

I think we also agree that you're an ass.   How does that make you feel, ass?
