Message boards and comment threads are filled with opinion, most of it brash, abrasive, and more ...
Does Andy Reid Really Have the Final Say in Philadelphia Eagles Decisions?
Posted: 18th March 2010 by Haran Knight in NFL
Have you ever seen so many players handed their walking papers this time of year before? At this moment, I’m wondering which two guys will the Eagles rid themselves of Friday.
I have no problem with them parting ways with Brian Westbrook, Chris Clemons, Kevin Curtis, and Darren Howard. What I do question is the timing of some of the releases.
The trades are understandable because you get something in return and ...

It took less than two minutes for Matt Cooke to face the wrath of retaliation and revenge.
It took Bruins fans not much longer to switch from booing Cooke, to booing their own team.
