That was the worst because you knew the gang was all leaving.  We knew that Reggie, Eric Allen, Clyde Simmons, Byron Evans, Keith Byars, Keith Jackson were all leaving and there was nothing that could be done to keep them.

Yup. BE got hurt in a season he was dominant before he could leave but yeah.

Unless you meant Seth Joyner, him leaving hurt too but after buddy was fired and reggie left it was inevitable.

I'm not defending him but I'm trying to see how the comments below are racist?  Are they appropriate?  Probably not.  Racist, no.  The term racist has been watered down so much.  What Riley Cooper said was racist.  What Nick Cannon said was racist.  

In 2018, ahead of an event for Black History Month -- commonly marked at US embassies around the world -- Johnson appeared agitated and asked if the audience would be "a whole bunch of Black people," according to one source.

Three sources said Johnson questioned why the Black community would want a separate month to celebrate Black history and argued that Black fathers didn't remain with their families and that was the "real challenge." One source said an official who heard the remarks was "stunned" and that the incident was documented and made known to both the OIG inspectors and a supervisor.

Yup what a dark day in eagles history. Its not like when Dawkins left at the end of his career, White was still in his Prime and still the best DE in the league. It was just FUBAR that they let Reggie  get away.😞

Reggie was the lead plaintiff in a suit against the League about the free agency rules.  Once he won, he was never going to stay.

This is an opportunity for us to get into regular season form as well.

Please be objective and fact-based as much as possible and leave the political spin to the talking heads on cable news.

It's been a long, difficult few months.  Let's make this a safe and enjoyable space.

Go Birds!

Lol you got to create the blog again

If he is agitated about speaking in front of "a whole bunch of black people" what do you think the agitation stems from other than prejudice against their race? That type of prejudice is racism.  Is it as bad as violence or dropping the n-word? Well it's not as bad as being violent.  Arguably it's worse because it's the kind of passive aggressive type of prejudice that serves to exclude people of color without it being quite so overtly racist.

Also the Packers offered a lot more money than the Eagles.

Does this type of face covering count?

No, but your normal face covering would be OK.

He’s a good follow for OL stuff. 

Pretty amazing that Richie Incognito, despite all the controversy through his career, is still playing and at a very high level.
