Oh so Romo-licious!

Oh so Romo-licious!

I just had to post this on the Cowboy's site after reading about Tony's brain fart...
I won't say I told you so...

Ok, I will. For all of you homers (Romers?) who went on the BGN site last year and delighted in D-Mac’s failure to understand the overtime rules… SUCK ON THIS!

I hear the real reason Tony dumped Jessica was because she was always an hour late. Turns out Tony was just reading his watch wrong (teeheehee)!

John Clayton is a Skinny Little Idiot!

oldasquick — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:43:03 -0000

(as opposed to a big fat idiot) In yet another example of why "The Professor" must have gotten his degree at Stupid University, in his recent "1st & 10" column, he makes this statement:

You could see in Vick's first preseason appearance as an Eagle that his presence, specifically in the Wildcat formation, affected McNabb's rhythm.

Memo to the ponytailed one: I was a freaking PRESEASON game!

In Clayton's defense, he's just parroting the same nonsense spewed from the lips of other Mothership geniuses like Mark "I can't spell my own name" Schlereth, and Tim "my wife thought she was marrying Matt" Hasselbach. To take a handful of plays, in a preseason game, and use that as a basis for a whole season is not only stupid, but stoopid as well.

It was obvious to anyone who has not suffered from multiple head traumas (Schlereth & Hasselbach) or 40 years of "alleged" high grade Northwest cannabis exposure (Clayton) that the whole mindset in getting Vick some PT was to get his feet wet and to put some ugly thoughts into the minds of opposing team's defensive coordinators. Between you and me, I think D-Mac's mild irritation with regard to rhythm was just a ploy to deflect attention away from his friend Vick (Mission Accomplished!)

Come December, we'll see if The Professor was right, but it's my guess that by then he'll be on to other wild hypotheses, like "why the Eagles total domination of the regular season will hurt them in the playoffs". It must be nice to have a job where you're paid to make forecasts that makes a weatherman's accuracy look like Nostradamus!

Tra Thomas out at Jacksonville?

Tra Thomas out at Jacksonville?

Looks like it's 50/50 at this point.

Help a brother out?

Help a brother out?

(Jason-if this is a TOS violation- my apologies, I'll take my punishment like a man!)
For about the last five years, I've been working to fulfill a lifelong dream to get a TV gig. While I have a "real" job and a family to support, in my spare time I do stand up, emcee local charity events, and do a little local TV. Yesterday, a friend of mine sent me a link to a contest HGTV is having, called "Stud Finder" (pretty lame name...) The winner gets his own home improvement show- I was a contractor for 25 years, so it's a good fit.

Just for shits and giggles, I entered a video clip from a morning show a did a while back and told some friends. Long story short, thanks to viral marketing by myself and others, I became the second highest rated video, in just one day!

I'd appreciate it if you could click on the link here and rate my entry. You'll see by some of the comments that I've pissed off the some of the other contestants (prolly Cowboy fans) because I didn't submit an "amateur" video...bunch of haters!

As a diehard Eagles fan of over 40 years, I promise to "represent" if I get the gig. Plus, you'll get to listen to someone who speaks with a normal accent!

New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey was taken to the hospital after becoming dehydrated...

New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey was taken to the hospital after becoming dehydrated near a swimming pool while attending a party with several NFL players in Las Vegas, spokesman Greg Bensel said on Sunday.

Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink!

Eagles work out Pat White

oldasquick — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:20:10 -0000

When I raised the possibility of the Birds picking up Mike Vick, I thought he'd be an interesting project as a wildcat/ returner/slot guy. Now it seems they have the same thought about Pat White.

I have to admit, the thought of a guy like that is intriguing. Maybe a fourth round reach? How about a low third round? We have so many freaking draft picks, I can't keep them straight!

Hmmm, I wonder how D-Mac would feel about drafting another QB?

Give Vick a Chance

oldasquick — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:29:52 -0000

Before the flames begin, i want it to be known that I am an animal lover who helps financially support a local animal rescue, and I'm also the owner of an awesome Pit Bull/Mastiff mix that was a rescue. That said, I think Vick deserves another shot, and I'd like to see the Eagles give him one.

Sign him to a one year, incentive laden contract that includes a required community service clause. Let him face the fire of the Philly media, fans, and animal lovers. Give him a chance to turn his mistakes into a positive, or hang himself if he hasn't truly turned his life around. While there's a downside of course, the upside is a continued spotlight on animal cruelty and dog fighting, and the opportunity for a human being to redeem himself.

As a player, we use him as an H-back, kick/punt retuner, 4th receiver, and wildcat component. With that kind of speed, defenses will have to scheme for him. Think of him as a replacement for G-Lew, with more tools.

I will don my asbestos overcoat and await your responses.

Only in Cincinnati!

Read the whole story here, but the quote below says it all!

In response to his pleas, an officer said: "You think we've never arrested somebody that's made national media? ... We deal with the Bengals all the time."

This is from a transcript of a video taken shortly after Mississippi head coach Andy Kennedy was arrested by Cincinnati Police for assault on a cab driver.

Even though I'm still mourning the Eagles loss in the NFC Chamopionship, I can still feel a bit of gratitude that I'm not a Bengals fan!

Hey Andy, get me some weapons this off season! Hey Andy, get me some weapons this off season! Hey Andy, get me some weapons this off season! Hey Andy, get me some weapons this off season! Hey Andy, get me some weapons this off season!

What is Big Red's record...

(notice we're all galling him something other than "F.B." these days?) Against an opponent he has faced the second time in the same season? I seem to remember that it is fairly impressive. I know Jim Johnson just loves fresh film with which to plan his schemes!

Fly Eagles fly, on the road to victory. (FIGHT,FIGHT,FIGHT)
Fight Eagles fight, score a touchdown 1,2,3. ( 1,2,3)
Hit 'em low, hit 'em high,and watch our Eagles fly.
Fly Eagles fly, on the road to victory!
E-A-G-L-E-S - Eagles!

Name the Headline!

oldasquick — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 17:20:49 -0000

I'm not trying to be cocky and jinx us, but I just spent the last hour teying to call into the the local Phoenix sports station. They were having a contest of "Name the Headline". I think the winner would get tickets to the game, but I'm not sure. Anyway, when I told the call screener my headline, he wouldn't let me on the air. It seems they only wanted pro-
Cardinal headlines. So, I decided to have a little contest ('little' meaning no prize will be awarded). I'll disqualify myself, but submit my own headline to get things started:

Monday morning headlines: "Eagles Feast on Cardinal Stuffin', and Deflate the 'Metal Muffin®'" (I own the copyright on 'Metal Muffin' as a derogatory description of PHX Stadium)
