  1. My thoughts exactly. This is a downgrade for the Eagles at WR, and poor management on their behalf.
  2. Updated: March 16, 2007, 12:35 PM ET Giants' Short was in store next to fatal gunfight ESPN.com news services New York Giants linebacker Brandon Short escaped harm during a shooutout Wednesday night in New York's Greenwich Village, where police brought down a gunman who shot and killed a bartender and two auxiliary police officers. "I was fearful for my life. There were bullets flying everywhere." -- Brandon Short Short told the New York Daily News he was in a Bleeker Street jewelry shop when gunfire errupted. He said the two officers who were killed, Nick Pekearo and Eugene Marshalik, ran past him just as he entered the store. Short told the Daily News he ran to the back of the store and dropped to the floor when the shooting between police and gunman David Garvin began. "I was fearful for my life," he told the newspaper. "There were bullets flying everywhere." Outside, police engaged Garvin in a firece gun battle after he shot a bartender in a pizzeria and then shot and killed the two auxiliary officers. Garvin then holed up in a leather goods store -- next to the jewlery shop where Short had been shopping -- before coming out firing. Police reportedly fired 56 shots at Garvin, killing him. "It was a crowded street in Manhattan. Some people were running through restaurants, running down alleys to get away," Short told the newspaper. "It's a miracle that no bullets actually went through the window." Garvin, 42, had been carrying two semiautomatic firearms and a bag with a fake beard and 100 rounds of ammunition, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. The Associated Press contributed to this report
  3. We haven't looked at one O-Lineman? I find that rather hard to believe.
  4. I wouldn't trade up in this draft unless the next LT was waiting for us. We need as many picks as possible.
  5. Didn't he slag of Washington after leaving? Maybe there's just no one paying any attention to him?
  6. 1) He had some legal troubles and the league suspended him for four games. He's already sat out two. Something to do with speeding in his Lambo and resisting arrest I think. 2) Yes 3) Yes
  7. I know he's had his problems, and has to sit out the first two games of 2007, but as far as I know he's still a free agent after getting cut by San Fran. He had a rather anemic season last year but is young and talented. He's at least good enough to replace Carter, surely?
  8. Just checked him out. Stellar career so far...
  9. Great move for NFL Shared Revenue with all the new Tomlinson jerseys they'll be selling.
  10. Why did Phili let him go? He was a fantastic fit with McNabb.
  11. Could you post the article please? I can't access that site from work.
  12. Are there many prospects in this year's draft? I know I say this every year (because our kickers suck every year) but they should really consider pulling in some ex-rugby or AFL guys for a try out.
  13. Mare sucked last year. I'd rather take a chance on a rookie.
  14. Amazing Carter didn't burst his spleen on the flight there. Way to pull through for us right when we need you healthy Timmy!
  15. Actually, I heard the rumour about the Bills moving to Canada (toroto in particular) to avoid the crippling inheritance tax situation the owner's family would face.
  16. Absolutely. Excellent work by Reese & Co.
  17. I rather have him kicking than Feagles, which is who we've got right now.
  18. Ruben Droughns, previously of the Brown and before that the Broncos. Good runner.
