No different than any other "main" sport...free agency...I've always liked both Jarrett & "Mikey"...it's going to be hard next season with a brand new operation...but Toyota is not going to cut any corners...I doubt they can make the chase next year...

Nobody comes to Philly because some players had some great seasons here...Rocky is a known icon to so many people that could care less about Philly sports...I'm glad Rocky is coming out of storage...& wish it could return to the top of the Art Museum steps...

I don't have any rooting interest in the Texans...from my fantasy perspective...the Texans not taking Bush helps me on my team with V. Morency ((last years RB pick in 2nd round I think) if he can get those touches that D. Davis doesn't get)...I feel that M. Williams is a smart & solid pick (assuming both players are able to play to their max. potential)...not only is the team saving some cap space & don't have to worry about a "holdout"...Williams will probably be involved in 50-60 plays a game with that many chances to make in impact...Bush will definatly have some real good games...touches rush & rec plus scoring...but there will be a defense or two that stops Houston's offense cold...

Farve to return...T Owens quiet (for now)...R Williams suspended...again...Anymore more of these annual soap operas to finish this off-season...???

We can't trade them (Webber's contract & lack of fair value in return for AI...30+/ppg)...so its looks like we are stuck with them...what this does seem to bear out is the "rumor" of lack of respect the players have shown toward Coach Cheeks all season...

I don't expect anything different in Dallas than what we got here in Philly...one good season out of owens if he thinks he's getting the ball enough...he will start after the last game of the season which won't be the Superbowl...

He's happy in the beginning and he plays like "the" best WR in the NFL... pauleye I agree we got a good yr out of him...but downhill after that... I suggest to any team that signs him...make it a 1 yr deal & take the cap hit...get your 1 good yr...any more than that & you will have a problem...it wouldn't surprise me if he does end up in Dallas or any nfc east team just to play the Eagles twice next season...

Chaney definatly had his "bad temper moments"...but over his Temple career... I believe there was more positive for the program than negative...but his day has definatly passed...(Joe Pa...take note)...

it must be a new mayor...as it seems no objections in past when held...

I'm glad the Flyers made a few "minor" moves...warm bodies today for future draft picks & a minor leaguer that didn't show much when he played with the big team this season...

There's plenty of blame all around in this situation...but let's dump some of the blame on these kids parents or legal guardians too...are they looking out for the kids...or the "bling-bling" from a pro contract the chances are the kid will never get...

Now I know why I never made the pros...I'm just too smart...I always thought it was because I was undersized & not enough talent...

No matter the sport...or how lousy the game...Curt Gowdy always made it interesting...thanx for the memories...

I'm not a Yankee fan...& I've cursed Steinbrenner more than once for what he's done to the game...but I give George his "props" this time for doing a real good deed...I wonder if he'll send his private jet to transport the kid & his family & let them sit with him in the owners box also...

I agree chemwiz...QB-OL has got to upgrade... K Jones is a good kid... I've known about him since he was in high school...there has to be some talent there at WR...

I tend to believe this problem is not only with former NFL players...but also former NBA & MLB players also...in the "old days" players had to work a "real job" in the offseason...

How about: Reserving a section for players families...mjkredliner I agree completely...it's not like these venues only host 1 game a year...It's the NBA's responsibility to make sure that players don't have to keep an eye on their families in the stands...so that the players can concentrate 100% on the game while entertaining the 99.5% fans that are sober...there to enjoy a basketball contest...

Tradin' paint over control of DEI
I was surprised Dale Sr didn't leave Jr a major piece of DEI in his will...I hope he gets it now...in my opinion...Jr is the biggest & most important asset of DEI...
