Are U Ready for some Football ?

Well Sunday is the big the day are precious Eagles return. The NFL season starts tomorrow night with the Titans vs the Steelers. Is the Eagles roster finally set who knows. With the recent acquisition of Alex Smith to play tight end and the release of Tony Curtis, the only thing we know for sure is that some one else will be off the roster either by trade or by cut for Vick. I think Tony Curtis looked good in the preseason and I don't understand as many, why they cut him with only two other tight ends on the roster. Brian Westbrook said today that he looks to play like the old Westbrook this year. I am personally not worried about Westbrook being 30 and his play starting to slide. I look at it like this guys like Shaun Alexander who turned 30 and his career started to turn, was on a more run oriented football team, as were the others. Westbrook is on the eagles who have the philosophy to pass an pass again. Our Line backers without Bradley might be hard to watch at first. Look for a lot of missed tackles. Joe Mays will be out it looks like so Omar Gaither will start. I look at the eagles an I do not see a super bowl team. I am sorry but a team whose players even admit that there not in a rhythm with each other yet, is not a super bowl bound team. Our starting offense line has yet to play with each other fully. Shawn Andrews says he wants to play foot ball but hes no Jon Runyan. By that I mean he hurts hits pinkie an he sits out, he is definitely not an "iron man".

In an interview with Joe Banner the Eagles Gm (General manager) said he believes the Eagles are still the #1 team in the city. Hmmm who won a championship in 2008? Not the eagles. And who has a better chance of wining a championship this year? Not the eagles. The Eagles are like that little kid who always wants attention. They will do whatever they have to do to get it.

Now to Mike Vick. Wasn't he suppose to show he can do good before being reinstated. Well apparently that was a bunch of crap. All the NFL really cares about is not having him on the field for the season opener. Then the Commissioner thought about it an said he doesn't want him on the field for the Eagles home opener in week 2 either. So he can play week 3. But the eagles in all there Glory ness, stuck him on the exempt list. The exempt list means he can not practice with the team during his suspension. But Vick quoted as saying "he looks forward to practicing so he can be sharp for the third game" can only sit around an throw the a football on the side. God I hope the Eagles so called wildcat turns out to be good. My Eagles Prediction is the Eagles going 9 an 7 and getting a wild card spot.

On a list of most NFL team Net worth the Eagles were #7.The cowboys 1 and the Redskins 2. I can say an I think Matt the P O will back me up on this the eagles will not take the #7 spot happily. They will have there merchandise department thinking of new items to make more money. Behind the scenes they will be hard at work to move up from #7.

Eagles vs Panthers Sunday 1pm on Fox

Phillies Notes: I know I said I was only going to do 1 sport blogs but I need to talk some Phillies.
Wow Brad Lidge almost blew his eleventh save last night to the Nationals no less. I still think you need to give Lidge one more try. Because if you pull him his confidence is going to be totally shot. And not only will you not be able to use him this rest of this year, but you wont be able to trust him for the next three years remaining on his contract.Lidge looks like he lost his edge though from last year. After the first hit he gave up last night he looked scared, never a good sign for the closer. Brett Myers is looking good but he is still not ready to close just yet. And the only thing about Madson is he had his chance before and blew it.
Like I said before the season its not over yet the Mets blew a 7 game lead and the Phillies can to, especially if the play like they did in Houston.

Cliff Lee is on the Mound tonight lest hope he returns to ace form.

I look to do a full baseball blog on Friday previewing the Mets series.

Thanks for reading. Please keep the feedback Coming.

I am JH Jr an Im out.
