It's possible. Welker reminds me a little more of Eagles RB Lorenzo Booker than B. Westbrook. Welker and Booker are about the same size, and the Eagles use him in a similar capacity to Welker (except he lines up in the backfield sometimes). Booker is a scat back with shifty east-west moves, but...
I only buy into a few "celebrity" philanthropists. Warren Buffet for one, Bill Gates for another. I'm not necessarily saying that they're inherently good people, but their philanthropic effort, in monetary terms, is (or is going to be) substantial.
Heck, Warren Buffet isn't leaving much of...
Don, the thing with Howard is he's absolutely on fire right now. He's hit his hot streak at the right time, when people start to seriously consider who is the MVP. He was all but silent earlier in the season, but people only think about the here-and-now.
I love how he's helping the Phils of...
I kind of did a WTF? double-take when I saw this on TV. Not only is his statement completely nonsensical and borderline incoherent, but it's also a pretty acute representation of the kind of "athletes" the NBA prefers to employ. It's just unthinkable that this would come out of anyone's mouth...
Yeah, I sat here for like, 5 minutes trying to think of someone. Wright is kind of pushing it, but I had to think of a white player that had a flashy season. Wright is certainly above average, but I see what you mean. Everything else is pretty straightforward though.
Webb is legit for the NL Cy Young too, in my opinion. Everyone is drooling for Sabathia, but if you add his numbers from the AL, he is far from Cy Young-worthy. Of course, everyone conviniently neglects that.
My mostly-white Phillies are back atop the NL East! As much as I hate the media orgy, Ryan Howard has caught fire at the right time.
But the real heroes here are the pitchers. The all-white pitchers. Brett Myers is 7-2 with an ERA under 2 since the All-Star break.
Bob Sanders is going to miss 4-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain. But instead of Matt Giordano stepping in as he has in the past, some guy named Melvin Bullitt is going to start. Huh? Has Matt not proven himself in the past?
Bulls**t.
I know it's football season, but I still have to ask. Who are your NL and AL MVPs and Cy Youngs?
I would say...
NL MVP: David Wright, 3B, Mets
NL CY: Tim Lincecum, Giants
AL MVP: Dustin Pedroia, 2B, Red Sox
AL CY: Cliff Lee, Indians
Jeff Fisher was quoted as saying "As long as we're winning, Kerry Collins will remain the starter."
So hes staying put, albeit on a very, very short leash.Edited by: PhillyBirds
That was just unacceptable. I almost half-wish that they hadn't scored, just so those childish antics would be magnified. But watching the Cowboys lose is just too much fun. MLB Zach Thomas is giving a solid effort, though.
For anyone not watching, Eagles WR DeSean Jackson dropped the...
From a Seahawks blog after their loss on Sunday. Whether or not it reflects his play accurately or not, it sure shows how the fans feel about him.

Disgusting.
ESPN analyst Cris Carter picked Jags WR Matt Jones as his "Gamebreaker" for Week 2! He mentioned Jones' size advantage will play a huge part in the game with the Bills, and even went as far as to say that David Garrard missed him a few times last week. How about it?
EDIT: It would also...
Couple questions: Will Jacob Tamme be starting for Dallas Clark in Indianapolis today?
Antonio Cromartie is listed as questionable for the Chargers. Would Steve Gregory start in his place?
