Links for Friday

A year ago at this time we were still talking about this. Our quarterback, forever brilliant, didn't realize that games can end in ties.

It still sounds just as ridiculous a year later, doesn't it?


At least the Eagles play Captain Interception on Sunday. That has to be good news. I think.

Now to the links:

• David Murphy at the Daily News took at look at the Phillies offseason needs this week. Third base, relief pitching and the bench. All good reads as free agency begins.
  
• SI.com's Andrew Perloff (who is normally an idiot) talked about the failure of the Wildcat to take off this year. I agree for the most part. Unless you run it like Miami, you probably shouldn't run it at all.
• Matt Mosley of ESPN.com wrote an interesting article on Winston Justice and his career revival. I wouldn't totally call it a "revival" yet, but he has been the most consistent lineman for the Eagles this year outside of Jamaal Jackson.
• Charles Robinson predicts who will make a playoff push over the next seven weeks. He's got the Eagles as the NFC's fifth seed, heading to Dallas for a first round playoff matchup. Sucks for Dallas, the Eagles have never lost their first playoff game (7-0) under Andy Reid.
• The Sixers won Wednesday night and Elton Brand actually looked good. Here are the highlights, in case you have to see it to believe it.
• Give this quiz a try, then read the list. It's almost unbelievable how bad the Eagles wideouts have been over the last 10 years. Remember this?
• I can't believe I found this video. It's a terrible player who does nothing but talk about himself, interviewing an incredible player who never talks about himself, seven years ago. But hey, they were buddies at UCLA.
• Hilarious motivational posters, she had a good night and this guy.
• Here are some hot girls, a college sexpot and Salma Hayek's boobs. And college.

Enjoy your weekend.
