Philadelphia (Bethlehem, Pa.), Aug. 5 - I saw Eagles right guard Shawn Andrews pulling this morning, and I was amazed at the kid. How can a guard be this fast? He pulls with the speed of a linebacker. And the ridiculous thing is he weighs 330 pounds. I was critical of the Eagles for dealing their second-round pick to move up to grab Andrews last April, but -- and I'm sure this will be the first time -- I may be wrong. >>visit the web page>>...

The craziness of the previous two months -- the NFL draft, mini-camps, nasal surgery -- seemed long ago.

By David Murphy

As usual, the pre-draft speculation surrounding the Eagles' first-round pick centered primarily on skill position players. From Oregon State running back Steven Jackson to Virginia Tech running back Kevin Jones to Louisiana State wide receiver Michael Clayton, the popular picks among media and fans were the usual suspects: running backs, receivers, linebackers and cornerbacks.
So when NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue strode to his Madison Square Garden podium and for the second straight year announced that the Eagles had traded their first and second round picks to move up into the middle of the first round, an excited cheer arose from Philadelphia fans that had made the trip to New York. >>read more>>...

TO ALL MY FAMILY, FRIENDS & FANS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AND ALL OVER THE STATE OF ARKANSAS:
