trotter cut

[phattymatty]

he'll be back on the skins within hours.

i'm curious as to why anyone thinks we're doing to pick up a veteran LB for leadership.  if that's the case, why wouldn't they just keep trotter?  he kinda defines that type pf player.

although i guess the eagles could actually be letting him go as a favor if he thinks he can still start somewhere else.

i got and made several calls and im not even a moderator on the emb

imo this is really big news...not only because of the on the field implications but because trotter is so well liked and played on the birds for a long time...i mean damn the guy played under ray rhodes

Just got a text message from my sister.   Evidently she's in tears over this.

Hahaha.

Sorry I didn't respond to yours, Russell.  I meant to but never got around to it. 

No problem, Jefy. It was just a picture of my beanbag anyway.

IMs from my brother in law and his father (the Giants fans).

Calls from my dad and best friend to see if I heard the news.

Ran into the neighbor a few minutes ago while running out to my car....and he wanted to talk about it (in the pouring rain).

Big news, indeed.

I don't want them to bring a guy in for leadership purposes, I want another LB who has some kind of experience in case Gaither/Spikes have an injury or just suck. After doing some thought, I wouldn't mind the guy the Skins just released, Marshall. They tried him at MIKE last year even though he's 225lbs, he got owned, but in '05 he played WIL for them and was pretty effective. The guy isn't a stud to be sure, but at least he isn't Matt McCoy/Tank Daniels/whoever else.

Gibbs and Cerrato have said in the past that they made a big mistake letting him go, hell, almost every Eagles/Skins postgame Gibbs says something about it. Being that the Skins are still paying him, it would make sense, and be hilarious.

The Giants fan that sits next to me said he'd love to have him play for the Giants on running downs.

I called Demon who I knew was traveling and he was very upset... shaken even...

[Rome]

Well, that didn't take long.

Christ. They have to be bringing someone in. Dedrick Roper???

This is the ultimate oxymoron, but what a dumb Giants fan. Did you enlighten him to the fact that his play on running downs is what cost him his job?

I think Stewie will actually back up Gocong & Gaither.

Tank Daniels might be the happiest dude in Philly right now, though.  The second would be McCoy.

mccoy gotta go
