Successful Surgery For CB Hobbs

Hobbs is expected to make a full recovery and return to the field next season. Hobbs was placed on the Injured Reserve list by the Eagles on Nov. 11 after suffering a neck injury three days earlier in a Sunday night game vs. Dallas.

This is awesome news neck injuries are serious business so to hear that they believe he can eventually play again is fantastic news.  Not everyone is a fan of Hobbs as a corner, but he did well (save for NO game) as a returner.  Regardless of play I'd never want someones career to end from an injury.

He will be a RFA after this season (assuming no new CBA) I'm not sure how likely it is that we retain him but I wish him a speedy recovery either way.

Captain Morgan may have pulled off the quietest and shortest-lived advertising ambush in sports history last Sunday. One that was almost universally unknown, barely noticed, and yet, promptly squashed by the NFL this week.

Captain Morgan intended to offer lucrative charity contributions in exchange for each instance a player was caught on camera doing its pose during a game.

We here at BGN are all fans of the Eagles as the football team, I also happen to be a fan of the Eagles as an organization.  They participate in many events throughout the year to raise money for various charities and I don't think enough people find out about them.

Anyway this weekend, Sunday to be exact the parking lot at Lincoln Financial will play host to an "Autocross Event presented by CJ's Tires & Automotive Services"

more information available here www.phillyscca.com

Basically there will be a car show and an auto cross track that people will be racing on.  This isn't a legit auto cross race just local SCCA members and amateurs running the course but should be entertaining.

Eagles Cheerleaders, Swoop, and former Eagles players will be in attendance.  It's for a good cause so if you are around Southwest Philly I suggest stopping by.  I've never been to this even but will be attending this weekend.  The best part ....

 

Philadelphia SCCA will donate all proceeds from this event in support of the Eagles and their fight against breast cancer

Possible BGN Meetup???

So for the longest time we’ve heard the argument that Kolb cannot replace McNabb and will never be a starter in the NFL.  While I believe this still remains to be seen I find it humorous looking at the arguments.

Here are two links from Philly.com going through player by player on both sides of the ball from the Saints game.  I suggest that you read both of these as they are pretty good but for those on limited time I will highlight them after the jump.
