Tickets are on sale now to watch the cheerleaders tryouts for the Philadelphia Eagles. The team has pared down from 130 to 60 finalists who will compete for 38 spots on April 19th.

Tickets are $13 each and we hope proceeds will be used to produce even more Eagles cheerleaders products like the lingerie calendar. We know Jeffrey Lurie won’t be using it for free agents.

In case you didn’t realize, the sole purpose of this blog entry is to post the picture to your left.

[PhiladelphiaEagles.com]: Field Pared To 60 As Cheerleader Finals Near

In case you haven’t seen or read Donovan McNabb’s interview with Michael Smith on ESPN, let me break it down for you.

• Donovan claims the deterioration of his relationship with TO started as early as week 12 of the 2004 season.
• TO never challenged McNabb during Owen’s altercation with Hugh Douglas in the locker room.
• This season “everybody turned into superstars…Some guys don’t work hard.”
• Donovan doth protest too much: “I think the team was divided,” McNabb said. “As far as him taking the team from me, no, I don’t think so. I never felt that way. … I didn’t feel like I lost the team. I did feel like, ‘I am the leader of the team,’ and I am the leader of the team. But when you see guys talk in little cliques and guys not all being together, and you hear guys talk about somebody else, that bothers you a little bit.”
• He still holds a grudge, even if he says he doesn’t: “That nobody really came to my defense, that showed me a lot. That nobody came out to say he’s wrong in the media when somebody asks you a question, it was like, ‘That’s his situation, that’s been them, his contract, I think Donovan has handled it well…’ Come out and say, ‘It should not have happened. That was wrong. This is Donovan’s team.’ Again, I’ll always remember what happened.”

The most draw-dropping quote however is when Donovan compared TO saying that the Eagles would be undefeated with Favre at the helm as “black on black crime”.

It was definitely a slap in the face to me. Because as deep as people won’t go into it, it was [a] black-on-black crime. I mean, you have a guy that has been criticized just about all his career and now the last criticism is that I’m selling out because I don’t run anymore.

Now, TO’s comment about Favre was idiotic but certainly not racially motivated. TO was merely responding to a comment made by Michael Irvin, he did not bring up Brett Favre as an example. For a self proclaimed leader, McNabb certainly is very thin skinned. McNabb keeps talking about how he kept his mouth shut during the whole TO fiasco. Perhaps he should have kept it shut a little longer.

This story makes absolutely no sense until you realize it’s just Jaws trying to get some attention for his AFL team. “Jaworski last night said he is trying to reach out to former Eagles wide receiver Freddie Mitchell to gauge any potential interest Mitchell might have in joining the Soul.” That’s like me saying that I’m trying to reach out to Elisa Cuthbert to gauge any potential interest in dating me. And by reaching out, I mean scribbling a note in my Thundercats diary.

The Philadelphia Soul would have to cut some players to fit Mitchell under the salary cap. In no possible world, no matter how twisted, should anyone be cut to allow Freddie Mitchell to join a team. This also makes no sense because everyone in Philly hates Freddie Mitchell.

Remember when the Eagles first drafted Freddie out of UCLA and all getting-to-know-you stories talked about his famous Hollywood friends like Liz Hurley? Well, these days, he’s hanging out with Kathy Griffin.

Don’t worry folks, Terrel Owens has been found. He wants you to know that he’s been running routes, catching passes, and scoring… all in his head. Much like his persecution complex. In the longest 3 months in the history of TO, he’s matured. What a wonderful marriage of Boost Mobile commercial and personal PR.

The best part of the site is the “blog” which allows people to tell Boost ‘where they at’. Who says there’s dumbing down of America?

Mirroring what happened in Seattle last year, Andy Reid has “relinquished” his duties as the GM of the Philadelphia Eagles. Eagles fans are hoping for just as much of a turnaround next year as the Seahawks displayed this season.

Fox Sports is reporting that the Eagles offered Heckert a new title and deal immediately after the Vikings asked their permission to interview him. Much like having a girlfriend, you only want her if someone else shows an interest.
