Eagles Fire Defensive Coordinator After Catching Him on Tape Stealing Boxes

While I was on vacation from blogging in beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Eagles blew their opportunity to win against the Detroit Lions (or the Lions found their mojo in the 4th quarter, depends on how you look at it). Right after that, Eagles coach Andy Reid checked the security cameras at Novacare and noticed defensive coordinator Juan Castillo on tape stealing boxes. Yesterday morning, the Eagles made it official – Castillo was fired on his day off.

Andy Reid’s Poor Game Management Strikes Again (read his explanation inside)

OT Jason Peters is the most valuable guy on the Eagles team. Without him, things are a lot scarier for Vick and the entire fan base. Unfortunately, he ruptured his achilles making it unlikely he returns until next season. Jason, COME BACK BOO. WE NEED YOU.

By the 3rd quarter of the Philadelphia Eagles/Cleveland Browns game I was screaming JEFF LURIE DO YOU SEE THIS? LOOK AT YOUR TEAM. JUST LOOK AT IT.

Lurie, of course, is the majority owner of the Eagles and the only one with controlling interest. Lurie is also the man who has promised Coach Andy Reid a job as long as he’s owner–if you listen to Reid’s agent Bob Lamonte–and he is also the dude who, in response to Lamonte’s comments, denied what Lamonte said and promised Reid’s head on a platter if the Eagles don’t have a good season. Lurie is a man of many hats and what constitutes a good season will be decided by him and him only.

Michael Vick Doesn’t Think He’s Injury Prone – Also Will Andy Reid Put His Foot Down?

Diminutive QB and Philadelphia Eagle Michael Vick doesn’t think he’s injury prone and isn’t particularly worried about the possibilities of future injuries. He referred to previous injuries as “flukes.”

From Philly.com:

“I don’t think I’m injury-prone at all,” Vick said. “I just had a couple of fluke injuries that happened. But it’s not something I’m worried about.”

The Eagles Are Arrogant and Don’t Care If It Pisses You Off

This may look like a huddle but really it’s a players only strategy meeting to think of new ways to tell people to suck it.

While the thirsty media and bitter fans of other teams are abuzz over Michael Vick’s relatively tame statement that the Eagles have “a CHANCE to build a dynasty” I’d like to point out something for the record that should have been clear before:

This Philadelphia Eagles team is cocky as all get out. They believe in themselves, they believe in their coaches, and they believe in each other.
