About the Eagles

Had a funny conversation with Galley Friend T.V. the other day. She asked me if I was worried about the crazy moves the Eagles had made. I told her that the Shady McCoy thing might look bad, but could turn out to be a Belichickian masterstroke, because slot-backs seem to be easy to find these days and not worth committing big financial resources for. Then she said: “Haven’t you heard? They traded Foles.”

And my head basically exploded.

I asked T.V. whether or not there was unrest on the Philadelphia street. Her reply:

After the press conference Kelly ran yesterday the majority of the WIP team, and the callers, think Kelly is an arrogant boob. He is either a pure genius with a brass set of cajones, or a total moron. He picked up good players IF they come on the team healthy. Bradford has missed the majority of the last two seasons with torn ACLs. All you needed this year to have a competitive team was a lineman, a safety and two corners. Still waiting on those to magically appear!

My hubby, ever the conspiracy theorist, thinks the Cowboys are paying Chip to tank our team. I am not quite ready to walk down that road. Yesterday, because of all the Oregon players that have been picked up, Steve was joking and saying that Huey, Dewey, and Louie are going to be our receivers and that Donald Duck is our running back. He referred to Lurie as Scrooge McDuck and said that Chip’s new nickname ought to be Daffy.

It’s always a good sign when the gallows humor sets in during the free-agent period after a 10-win season.

In other news, Galley Brother B.J. informs me “For who? For what?” doesn’t exist in the ether of the internet. There’s no video or audio surviving. I suspect it must be buried in the Channel 7 Action News tape archive somewhere. They ought to put an intern on that, for posterity’s sake.
