TO said the Eagles organization was classless, and got in a fist fight with a former Eagles player/ current Eagles front office guy.

I'm with him about showboating. I think the most pathetic example of showboating is when a defensive player makes a big hit on the ball carrier on the wrong side of the first down marker. Nothing sadder in the world than celebrating letting the other team move the chains.

Nobody comes straight out of high school to the NFL, there's a minimum years rule which was challenged in court by Clarette but the NFL found a way to rewrite the rule and avoid the court rulings.

I'm just glad that it happened to the Iggles. They have the worse and more classless fans in the US. They deserved a cancer like T.O. The only person more immature and destructive than TO was his agent Rosenhaus. Talk about a match made in heaven. It would be like getting publicist for Chuck Schumer - its gasoline on the fire. One egomaniacal man-child and a white Johnny Cochran agent leads to a team in last place after going to the Super Bowl last year and millions in lost wages. Brilliant!!!

Its hard for me to root for the Redskins under any circumstances but its sweet to see them knock out Philly this year. If they could both be in last place, that would be ideal but I'm willing to settle for an Eagles self-induced implosion.

I understand and know about no one coming out of H.S. straight to the pros. My point is by the time the player reaches the NFL, it is kind of late to teach him about respecting the game when that was not taught in H.S.
