In his annual state of the team address at Lehigh, Eagles owner Jeff Lurie was asked about the contract situations of some of his unhappy players. He addressed both Brian Westbrook and Lito Sheppard. In his discussion of Lito's situation he talked about some of the things we'd all expect, like Lito needing to stay healthy... but he mentioned a stat that I have to admit I've never heard of .

I messed up a the running back picks Brian Westbrook and Michael Turner have the same bye week, i also waited too long to get running back 3/4 especially since I foolishly picked up 2 players with suspensions (Steve Smith, Brandon Marshall).

Brian Westbrook is just an amazing running back. His speed, vision, agility, toughness, and determination is better than anybody in the NFL(well maybe LT). He has been very underrated over the years, and last year when given the entire load to carry he proved he is indeed elite. Brian may be in the middle of a contract dispute, [...]

Don’t expect to see much about fantasy sports on this blog, but Sports Illustrated’s NFL fantasy preview last week caught my attention.

Because it’s Friday, I think we should have some fun with movies. NE Patriots Draft came up with movie posters detailing what they think will be interesting story lines during the 2008 season. You have to agree with Matt Leinart in Failure to Launch, and Chad Johnson and Brian Westbrook in Million Dollar Babies. Some other movies that I think NFL personalities could [...]

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Andy Reid didn't just awaken yesterday morning a more benign coach. The air was thicker than pea soup, the temperature was rising as quickly as a Brian Westbrook cutback move, and the Eagles had already endured seven consecutive days of banging one another around, yet Reid hadn't planned to let up on them.
