Oxnard Must Be An Entertaining Camp
Few athletes give us more joy, in a "Jeez, look how far this idiot has fallen" type of way, than former Eagles dope Freddie Mitchell. Last time we checked in with him, he was considering offers from Jon Bon Jovi's team in the Arena League....

Dhani Jones Has Happy Feet That Can't Be Beat
We have been called a "chronicler of athlete misdeeds," though we think we're a little more optimistic than that; we prefer "chronicle of athlete malfeasance." Or even "athlete tomfoolery." Whichever; pick your poison....
You Can Help Injure Terrell Owens. Please, Give All You Can.
Howard Eskin, a sports radio host in Philadelphia, is raising money in order to pay the fine for any Philadelphia Eagle who "takes out" Terrell Owens. The guy who sent in the tip didn't give a definition for "take out," but given the nature of the Philadelphia sports fan, I have to assume that a s...

With a heavy heart, we inform you that, yes, Terrell Owens is back. Sorry. Don't kill the messenger....
New Vikings Coach Sporting Rare Mustache/Baldness Combo
Today, the Minnesota Vikings will announce that Eagles offensive coordinator Brad Childress will be their new coach, or, if you can't resist making the same joke everybody else is making this morning, captain of their ship. Childress has been with the Eagles for seven years, and, having seen Requi...
Freddie Mitchell: Still Alive, Apparently
Well, last night was Terrell Owens' 32nd birthday party in Atlantic City, and reports are filing in. Not surprisingly, the biggest star of the show was former Eagles receiver Freddie Mitchell, or, as he might be known, "Terrell Owens if Terrell Owens was 85 percent less talent and 27 percent more...
Owens Has Plenty Of Time To Party
Tomorrow night, in Atlantic City, N.J. — "we're like Vegas, only, you know, with more cutoff T-shirts with "I'm With Stupid" printed on them" — former Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens will celebrate his 32nd birthday. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that invitations were left in Eagles players' ...
The Weak Have Become Strong
In another sign of an incredibly weak NFC, the Giants, who are supposed to be one of the conference's best, are tied at the half with the Eagles, who are playing without their best 18 players. Ryan Moats has 89 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the first half....
Not Even Playmates Can Watch The Eagles
It is not a fun time to be a Philadelphia Eagles fan, a fact that has been recognized by the fine folks at the Philadelphia Eagles "Blog Squad." How ever to juice up assuredly sagging Sitemeter rankings?...

More On The Mommie Dearest Sprinter
More info on the guy who ran on the field Sunday to spread his mother's ashes on Lincoln Financial Field, thanks to the suddenly sports-huge folks at The Smoking Gun. Turns out his name is Christopher Noteboom, also known as "Chip," and he cuts a mean mugshot....
Paying Tribute To Dear Old Ma
At last, a fan running on the field story everyone can get behind. During the Eagles game yesterday, an unidentified fan sprinted onto Lincoln Financial Field to spread the ashes of his dead mother onto the grass. Apparently, this is because he liked his mother, rather than vice versa....
A T.O And Rosenhaus Thanksgiving
Every wonder what a Terrell Owens-Drew Rosenhaus Thanksgiving might have been like? Blogger The Mighty MJD has, and, in what has to be a sports blog first, actually writes short story about it. It's just Owens and Rosenhaus, alone in a room, each silent in their thoughts as they watch Jeff Garcia ...
Eagles Finally Get A Win!
Well, that settles that, then: Arbitrator Richard Bloch has ruled against Terrell Owens, whose suspension will remain throughout the rest of the season. It has come to the point that the Eagles, frankly, will take any victory they can right now....
Will T.O.'s "Dick Suspension" Stand?
As we await with slightly baited air the decision from arbitrator Richard Bloch on Terrell Owens' suspension — Newsday is reporting that the suspension will be reduced — we admit we have mixed feelings on the case. On the one hand, yeah, the Eagles are totally justified in getting rid of him. By a...
Until Next Year, Donovan
The news just broke, if it can be counting as "news" or "breaking:" Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his hernia, a surgery that sounds deeply unpleasant all kinds of thoughts here, not the least of which that by the time McNabb plays again,...
