Capitals trade Tomas Fleischmann to Avalanche for Scott Hannan. On the surface, seems like a win-win.

I agree with this. But as I was saying, it is just kinda weird because Andy has never been that kind of coach. It's kind of refreshing to see, honestly. Just very un-Andy.

He is the best. He will not quit until his arm literally falls off. Hoping surgery goes well for him on Wednesday.

Troy Tulowitzki close to signing a ten year extension with the Rockies.

A lot of guys are saying that the media is overblowing the D-Jax part. Most are saying that Andy was pissed off, but it was directed at everybody. He might have singled out DeSean, but he singled out a bunch of other guys too. Only reason DeSean's name is attached to this is because he didn't man up afterwards and refused to talk to the media.

Just goes to show what is really "important" these days. Pretty sad, eh?

Yorvit Torrealba, 2 year deal with Rangers.

Juan Uribe to Dodgers. 3/21.

Oh you're probably right. When I said "this doesn't have anything to do with the fact that he's playing the Eagles", I was referring to my opinion so I wouldn't look like a homer, haha. But yes, as NHL fans where this stuff is more common, you and I both know how much reputation comes into play with discipline.

I understand. Just saying that when Peter King states something as fact, he is usually right. He wouldn't put his reputation on the line over some questionable sources. He's been in this business long enough to know what he is doing. But you are right, anything can happen.

I think the NFL is pretty hypocritical. And this doesn't have anything to do with the fact that he's playing the Eagles this week.

So, I take the subway in Philadelphia to school every day. Today I got off at the stop for my school, and since I was already late for class I kind of rushed out. Heard some sort of commotion on the platform as I ran up the stairs to get to the street, but since I was running late I didn't put much thought into it. Only had one class today, so 50 minutes later when it ended and I went back to the station, there was crime scene tape blocking all of the entrances, as well as fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances all up and down the block. Got a news alert on my phone a few minutes later that somebody had jumped in front of a train and killed himself. If I was not in such a hurry I would have seen this happen. I am sure this happens somewhat regularly in big cities, but in my two years of riding the subway every day, this is the first time I've encountered something like this. Kind of traumatic. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20101129_Man_killed_on_Market-Frankford_Line.html

I trust Peter King's sources more than some anonymous internet "sources".

Well, you're right that this probably isn't a big deal, but it is very strange. Everybody who saw this said they had never seen Andy this upset. The anger seemed to carry over into his press conference too. In 11 years of watching boring Andy Reid press conferences, I have never seen him as pissed off as he was last night.

If the Eagles tackle as poorly as they did today, I'm not sure it matters much where they play.

Whatever. Short week, at least they get a chance to redeem themselves on Thursday against a potentially Andre Johnson-less Texans team.

Wait....how is that not reviewed?

Wow. Really weak.

The FG was the right call in my opinion (although literally everyone disagrees with me!). Down 15, facing 4th and goal from the 19 against the Bears defense, I am OK with taking the points there. They were not going to get a touchdown. I am with you on the onside kick though. Don't get it. Now they have to score super quickly. And as always, the Eagles head into the final 4 minutes with no timeouts. Yay Andy!

For once, Andy has made the right decision by kicking field goals the last two drives.

Hey Jay, you are up by 15. STFU.

The Phantoms have lost 17 of 18. Not so good.

Ernie Sims the latest victim of the Soldier Field swamp, er, field. Was there another event there this week or something? How can an NFL field be in this terrible of condition?

Lol Daryl Johnston: "This is not the same Eagles defense we saw last week against the Giants". You don't say, Daryl? You mean to say that taking two of the most consistent pieces out of the lineup is going to affect the way the play?

Can one thing go right today? Maybe? Please? Also, this is by far the worst game I have ever seen Stew Bradley play. Well, the team as a whole isn't tackling for [expletive], but Stew has whiffed multiple times today.
