Dont be jealous that you will have to bear through another year of terrible football with the Bills, when we have the whole world in front of us in Philly.


& Just cause you dont know anything about Avant, doesnt mean what I typed isnt true. Out of the first 80 catches Avant made in training camp, he had zero drops. For real, zero drops.

article from 8/16/10:

BETHLEHEM - It would be an exaggeration to say that bystanders gasped.

But they did shake their heads in disbelief. The quick Kevin Kolb slant, thrown during a red-zone drill, hit Jason Avant's hands. Avant grasped the ball and stepped toward the end zone. Then Joselio Hanson stuck a hand in, and suddenly the ball was on the ground.

Was that a drop?

"I didn't drop it. I caught it, and he poked it out. It was a fumble!" Avant said later, smiling, before conceding that "Yeah, it'll count as [a drop]."

Last week, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said Avant had caught "up near 80 balls" while being defended in this camp, without a drop. "I'm not sure I've ever had a man do that," said Mornhinweg, who has coached Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens, among others.

"I don't think about that stuff. Marty came up with that; I wish he would have never said [anything]," Avant said yesterday. "It's one of those things, you're playing football, you're out here, it's going to happen. You've just got to try to limit it, as a pro."

Watch sports videos you won't find anywhere else


Every single Eagles player will tell you Avant has the best hands.
A stupid fluff piece article about a guy catching passes in practice and now he has the best hands in the NFL. Wow Lori, what is next?

I've already got the Redskins against the Eagles with you. I'll also say that the Eagles will not win win more than 4 games more than the Bills this year if you want that wager. You get Eagles wins -4.5

honestly I dont know much about the bills this year, but they seem to be pretty pathetic again..

Done. Should be two easy wins for me, especially since the Eagles will only have to win 7 games for me to win this latest bet.

& yeah, Avant is SICK when it comes to hands. Every single Eagle player including Jackson & Maclin will say Avant has the best hands on the team in a heartbeat.

Is he the best reciever in the NFL? hell no! He's the 3rd best on this team. Does he have the best hands? He very well could.

Can't wait until this all looks like Scav's "Do you even watch football?" quote from last year when I said the Packers would have a better record than the Bears.

Everyone knew Cutler was a big crybaby last year.

But for some reason all the idiots on here seem to think that the Eagles wanted to trade their best QB to the division rival so they could have a new guy that isnt half as good as McNabb.

how many times do I have to repeat that I have no superbowl expectations & just want to see a good productive year where they make the playoffs?

But give me Birds vs Skins heads up in the w/l column... and Eagles +4.5 against the ridiculous Bills & what do you expect me to do?

Its like taking the Borel horse in the Derby. I feel like I'm ripping you off.

You took his -4.5 more wins bet??? I hope not. If you did, you're looking at a wash there. It's tough to beat any team in the league by more than 4 wins.

I had to take that bet. Its Sniper. I need to have this so when it happens I can really have fun with him next time I see him.

We already have a Eagles vs Skins even money on the W/L record.

And its quite possible the Bills will win 5 or less games, since according to Sniper they lost their best player (TO) after a 6 win season last year!
