I guess this is not completely shocking considering the Witherspoon trade but the hits just keep on coming.

This certainly hurts any way you look at it.

From Eagles Bloghead:

Surgery For Gaither; Second Opinion For Curtis

Middle linebacker Omar Gaither will have surgery for a Lisfranc sprain in his foot and will "most likely" be lost for the season, according to head coach Andy Reid.

With Gaither out, newly added Will Witherspoon will step in as the starter in the middle.

The Philadelphia Eagles are saddened to announce Jim Johnson has passed away this afternoon at the age of 68 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Eagles president Joe Banner and head coach Andy Reid will be available to the media at approximately 7 pm tonight in the media tent adjacent to the practice fields at Lehigh University.

Terrible news, unfortunately we all knew this was coming.

I realize not everyone has NFLN.

But I'm curious which network people will be watching the draft on and why (for those who have both options) I'm sure I'll switch back and forth but lean mostly on NFLN.

I'll take Eisen over Berman and Mayock over Kiper.

My biggest problem with NFLN's coverage is the inclusion of Dieon Sanders

What the hell this jack-ass brings to the table beyond hooting and hollering, pumping up all things Cowboys along with the A-holes in the league ie Chad Johnson, Pacman Jones and TO is beyond me.

Sorry for the rant, but he really is terrible.
