This photo shows exactly why football is our new national past time. (This photo is also reason #10,692 why I love Sports Illustrated, but that's another story for another day.) Baseball and basketball only occupy our time until football gets started. Bone jarring hits like Sheldon's on Reggie Bush are right up there with the best moments in all of sports.
Plus, look at this comment from Sheldon:
Plus, look at this comment from Sheldon:
"He was lucky. His elbow was pinned against his body, protecting his rib cage, or else I probably would have broken his rib. What did it feel like? That collision, I didn't feel nothing, because he was pretty much defenseless. It was like running through a cardboard box. Seriously. Cardboard box."
Did you ever hear a baseball player or basketball player make comments like this?
Before you start adding comments, I realize the Birds lost this game. I could care less. This photo is the essence of football. Christ, the more I look at this photo, I might go to the Eagles' carnival and try to get Sheldon to sign the cover and then frame the magazine.
If you don't understand why I'm so excited by this photo and hits like this, then you are probably a panzy that played non contact sports in high school and never laid out any one like Sheldon did.
By the way, in case you missed it, Eagles' training camp is less than three days away!!!!

Lotta talk about JT losing his starters position.....
'Backer tracking
The biggest overhaul the Birds attempted in the offseason was the linebacking corps, where Takeo Spikes is the new weakside starter, Chris Gocong leads the competition to replace Dhani Jones on the strong side, and Jeremiah Trotter apparently will at least share the middle with up-and-coming Omar Gaither. Rookie Stewart Bradley, ex-practice squadder Tank Daniels and former starter Matt McCoy also figure in the training-camp mix. Unless someone gets hurt, one of the non-starters probably won't make the team. How does this group, assembled on the fly, fit together? Will opponents be able to throw underneath on the Eagles at will again this season?
Awesome post. Great pic/cover, though not as good as the pic of Jessica a while back. FYI, Eagles signed Kolb - 4 year deal.
all are signed and accounted for. Another good job by the front office....
I would love to rail on about how football is just a girlie version of a manly sport like rugby, but that gay French rugby photo you sent knocked the wind out of me. F-ing french.
Go All Blacks, and most importantly, ALL HAIL THE NEW YORK GIANTS!!
Yes, I had to forward along that picture...it was just WRONG and knew you guys would get a laugh out of it.
Anyhow....what are your thoughts on Big Blue this year?...I pretty much have my mind made up on them. It will be released in Pre Season Preview
