		<description>Tight article but as a diehard Eagles fan I have to give this draft an incomplete grade.  I still want a stud WR but management did address many needs on the defensive and special teams parts of the team which is encouraging.  I don't think I can rule out a deal during training camp though for a true #1 though because they did swing a trade for Donte' Stallworth, whom they should have kept, that same time two years ago.  Curtis is good and Brown is adequate but don't be surprised to see either Baskett, Avant, or GLew cut to make room for a new wideout because I would not be surprised if it's Roy Williams or Chad Johnson.  Boldin's not leaving the desert because that regime is finally trying to field a winner so he's out of trade discussions but I can see Johnson or Williams suiting up this season.

On McNabb, I thought for sure he was out of there at the end of last season but I think for some reason he's going to show and prove again this year that he's a Top 5 QB in the NFL .  I don't know about the Bowl but I see a division crown and a deep playoff run so that he'll make it hard for the team to cut him loose.  I believe him when he says he wants to retire an Eagle but more because I get the feeling he wants to rub it in the pundits and fans who criticize him faces that he was tougher than them and earned his spot.  Since that HBO interview, I've been noticing more a trickster persona in him where he's let that stuff go and is just going to have fun and damn what kind of team they put around him.

Thanks for giving the Flyers some love, Michelle, because I went and bought a black home sweater this past weekend and had it on when the eliminated the Habs on Saturday.  I would love to see them go from worst last season to hoisting the Cup this year because if they can get past the Penguins and then most likely the Red Wings believe me they will have earned it.</description>

		<description>[...] TheStartingFive.net takes a look at the Philadelphia Eagles draft, I swear I&#8217;ve seen a million articles talking about this team, and what mistakes or non-mistakes they made.

		<description>Michelle - Something clicked in the Flyers when the Playoffs began and they haven't looked back. I think they're too physical for Pittsburgh and Sid the Kid. Flyers go to play for the cup and they just might win it.

Detroit is my team but we need a parade!</description>

		<description>Origin,
CHUCH!!! Is this mic on?? Preach it brotha......do you know that the consensus of the mainstream media nitwits is that Atlanta MUST give Matt Ryan at least 4 years before he can be fairly critiqued??? I lie to you not. The reason is because the whole team had to be gutted because it was so sorry....all because of #7....its at that head-scratching moment that you just have to throw your hands up.

Duante Culpepper can't get a job, but Joey Harrington still gets a NFL check. Chad Johnson is screaming to get out of Cincy, but management will not let Carson's playmaker go. Just like Indy will wipe out that entire neighborhood in Philly before they let Marvin Harrison get caught up. Meanwhile, Donovan is expected to make lemonade out of prunes....and I read an article in the Washington Post that actually stated "how long does Jason Campbell have"?? I tell ya....we not only don't make the rules...they don't even tell us what the rules are.</description>

		<description>TBR,

Not to change the subject but how about those Flyers? I'm shocked they are still skating. I still think the Red Wings are going to win it all though.</description>

		<description>Yes the Eagles are about money All the teams in philly are about money. While the fans hate the players their dumb @sses need to hate the Owners. I often compare Philly to chicago. Because all the team owners are cheap @sses. Hell the only reason the bulls won chips were because Jordan and pippen were so great. Hell if it was up to Reinsdorf the bulls would have never won.

As for Mcnabb he is F&#38;^%ed just like most Black QBS in the good old boy league of the NFL. The only hope of any of these black QBs winning a ring is with Oakland and Washington because their owners actually believe in surrounding their black QBs with talent.

Its hard for these brothas because they often are drafted by teams that have cheap ownership and have no intent of trying to win. As far as what sista CoCo said she is right these guys win with nothing then management feels there is no reason to surround them with talent. The messed up part is if they didn't win in the first place they would have been benched. They don't get the 2 and 3 chances that their white counterparts get. Their black @sses better win or the fans and media will be on their @ss. Ain't no getting chance after chance like Kyle Bowler and Rex Grossman. If those dudes were black they would be out of the league. 

Another thing most of he time these guys only get chances if  black QB has had previous success with the teams. See Houton/Tenns (moon, mcnair) , Philly (Cunningham), Minnesota (Moon, Cunningham, Culpepper)

Thats why I believe that it will be 40 years or longer before you see a Black QB drafted high in Detroit, ATL and Dallas. Because of the issues that they had with their highly drafted black QBs.

And yes this is my boy Mcnabbs last season in Philly. I just pry that the rotha doesn't get hurt. Hopefully next year he goes to Minnesota and wns a ring. 

The way that black Qbs are treated in the NFL has just soured me with the league. 

By the way whats the odds that Culpepper never plays in th league again????

Yet watch Grossman play 15 years in the league.</description>
