Goodbye Brian Westbook

The Eagles did what I think we all expected they would do today:  released Brian Westbrook. B. West gave the team and us fans 2 elite seasons and 8 great years.  He was easily my favorite player on the team for a long time and just like with Dawkins it's sad to see him go. At age 30, unable to shake all the nagging injuries and now concussions you can't really blame the Birds for deciding to go in a different direction knowing they have B. West-light in LeSean McCoy ready to take on a … [Read more...]

Philly Ramblings

February 11, 2008 By 8 Comments

I've been working diligently on my 7-part baseball preview, so I've been a little lazy of late in terms of posting. But unless I want Dannie to take over the blog entirely - I figured I'd spend my 25th birthday with some quick hits on what's on my mind in the Philly and National sports scene. 1.

Feeley interceptions and lost a 5th game when David Akers clanked a 57-yard field goal that had the distance for 67 yards. And yes, they lost a 6th when the absence of William Thomas and Brian Westbrook … [Read more...]

Brian Westbrook – The smartest, most unselfish play ever

December 17, 2007 By 5 Comments

In a big win against the hated Dallas Cowboys today, the most spectacular play wasn't a gravity defying TD catch, 95 yard kick return or even an ankle breaking scamper to the end zone. It was the best running back in the 2007 NFL season intentionally falling down at the ½ yard line with no defender in sight to secure a desperately needed win for the Philadelphia Eagles. With just over 2 minutes left in the game and a 4 point lead for the Birds, Brian Westbrook found a crease in the Cowgirls … [Read more...]
