Another Eagle Gone, Carbonneau gone

William "Tra" Thomas signed with the Jaquars yesterday. That is another player of the Eagles who was with the team their whole career until now gone. Even though Tra is a veteran the Eagles will most likely not miss him, with all the lineman the Eagles have sitting around after Reid drafts more and more each year. The Eagles even have two first rounders this year. Don't be surprised if one of them goes towards another Tackle. On another note Guy Carbonneau the Canadiens coach was fired yesterday and the GM is taking over once again. I understand why with the Canadiens steadily droping out of playoff contention. Blaming it all on the coach though is pretty bad. Though it worked well for the Penguins firing their headcoach Michel Therrien(ex-Canadien coach also), bringing in a new one brought a new life to the team. Both coaches took their teams to the playoffs last year and Penguins coach even took them to Stanely Cup finals.

Sixers Trying to Make Playoff Push

Since the All-Star Break the Sixers are 3-6. They are still in the seventh playoff spot being only 30-30 and 18 games behind, with the Pistons only .5 games ahead of them in the sixth spot, and Bulls behind them at 20.5 games behind. The Sixers and the Bulls play this Friday, the last game in the spectrum(will have actual coverage after that game). They Sixers have a pretty nice schedule for week ahead playing Thunder tonight, Raptors on Wednesday, Bulls on Friday, and finally Heat on Sunday. The Sixers could even catch the Heat if they get on a run this week. Since Heat in fifth place are only 2 games ahead of Sixers. Let's see what happens this week.

Mannywood

Manny Ramirez and the LA Dodgers finally agree to a two year forty five million dollar contract that that has been on the table for almost four months. Manny can void the second season and become a free agent again after this season. Manny and his super agent Scott Boras take their lumps, and take a hit, not getting the 100 million dollar four year contract that they demanded at the start of free agency.

Dawkins Gone....?

Brian Dawkins who has played in more games as an Eagles then any other Eagle in history, decided to make an odd move on Saturday. Dawkins signed with the Broncos on Saturday shocking all of Philadelphia and the rest of the football world. The Broncos gave him a contract for 5 years at 17 million with a 2 year termination in there also. The Eagles did though make up for a aging offensive line by signing Stacy Andrews, who is Shawn Andrews brother, making it a family offensive line. Eagles also traded away Lito Shepperd to the Jets for draft picks. Joselio Hanson was signed by the Eagles for 5 years. The Eagles also lost another veteran safety with Sean Considine going to Jacksonville.
