NFL to suspend Pro Bowl
Just the game...not the titles (the NFLPA wouldn't have that since pro bowl nods are used in contract negotiations). Hopefully the bring back the skills challenge
Bill Parcells sleeper pick: D3 WR Cody Pearcy. 4.31 40 yd dash, 44" vertical, 6.67 three-cone time, and 3.76 short shuttle
The catch? He's 5'10" 160 lbs. Parcells is a fantastic talent evaluator, so I trust him on this one.
Why Brian Dawkins should be in the HOF: by the numbers

After I had heard that one of my all time heroes was retiring yesterday, I was chatting with a few of my friends who told me that even though he was a fantastic player, he probably wasn't worthy of the Hall of Fame. I disagreed vehemently.
As a lot of Eagles and non Eagles fans know, Brian Dawkins was more than a fantastic player. He was a terrific man off the field and an ferocious animal on it. He was an outspoken leader and motivator. He played with passion and energy unlike any other player I've ever seen in this sport. He gave 100% EVERY play, no matter how he felt, no matter what was the score, no matter how much time was left on the clock. In his prime, he was one of the best defenders and players I've ever seen at his position, a position that is so tough to evaluate. But obviously, these facts alone will not get him into Canton, it will help, but it isn't going to make him a lock.
I decided to look for myself at his numbers compared to other NFL safeties (I looked primarily at the new generation of safeties, since this new generation has made the safety position more of a glamour position, although I did have to include some of the older guys. Back in the day safety was not nearly as important, and they didn't even have that many responsibilities on the field). The other safties I chose to compare Dawkins with are Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, John Lynch, Bob Sanders, Rodney Harrison, Darren Woodson, Darren Sharper, Jack Tatum, and Ronnie Lott.

Mike Mayock: Dontario Poe- "He doesn’t know how to play the game of football."
"The reason I like Poe is twofold: He’s a physical freak and he’s got a good motor. The problem is he’s just a very average player right now because he doesn’t know how to play the game of football."
Michigan State defensive tackle Jerel Worthy told NFL Network's Charley Casserly the Eagles have called him about setting up an official visit.
I would love this if we got Luke in the 1st and Worthy in the 2nd. It seems like there's a better chance LK is available at 15 then Cox being available at 15.

Talk about boring...
Possibly leaked full 2012 NFL schedule
I doubt it. There are so pretty bad primetime games in there.

Maybe we should have kept Joe Mays

Thank god.
Shanahan and Snyder at Hooters. Not really Eagles related, but it cracked me up
Curtis Lofton and Brodrick Bunkley to visit New Orleans Saints
I'm starting to hate the Saints more and more. The were able to get Spagnuola, the bounty controversy, they eliminated us in 2006, they couldn't eliminate the Niners which gave the Giants an easier road to the SB, they're disrespecting Dree Brees, and now they're going after Lofton and a former Eagle!?
Trent Cole signing his extension.
Keith Brooking being sued for $2 million in unpaid loans
There's something about that Cowboy organization that just curses players. Oh well, probably should have been pumping up his teammates about paying your debts instead of busting players in their mouths
It'll never happen...but it's nice to dream
"Our initial guesses are the Chiefs, Eagles, Broncos, and perhaps the Jets."
Overlayed animated GIF 40 yd dash of RGIII vs Newton vs Luck....vs Rich Eisen with a 10 yard head start
EDIT: Here's the GIF of all 3 minus Eisen
Talk heats up in Pittsburgh that Mike Wallace could leave
Possibly another WR in the FA pool and another possible FA signing for us. Strange, I was certain that the Steelers would do anything in their power to keep him.
...Keep in mind that, IIRC, the Steelers do not have a lot of cap flexibility this offseason.
