Live From Training Camp...Online Coverage

Am I at Eagles training camp right now live blogging from the sidelines? No.
At I at my computer watching 22-minute long clips of practice highlights? Yes, ma'am.

Some observations taken from the first full-pads practice:

Internet Football Stalking

As nerdy as it is, watching videos on the Philadelphia Eagles website shows you a hell of a lot more than reading words on a page from some dude (i.e. me).

I tell myself that I watch these videos because I run a Philly sports blog and need to be as informed as possible, but that's not the truth. The truth is...I just love this crap. While Dave Spadaro is a goofy cornball who loves the Eagles so much that he probably owns bird porn, the dude is harmless. Plus the mixed guy (Chris McPherson) seems on top of his game and the sarcastic little one's name is BO WULF so he's cool by me.

Also, if you're someone who plays fantasy football it behooves you to know what the shit you're talking about. Should you draft C.J. Spiller or Dez Bryant? Watching bullshit like camp footage or player bios is the only way to find out.  This junk is genius!

Patrick Crayton (COLON)...Underdog! The story of a man who will be paid $2.5 million this year to work LESS, but has to overcome the devastation of being married to a woman named Najiyyah.

Where was I? Oh yeah, below is a clip of the afternoon practice on training camp day 1. Unfortunately, it only features rookies and selected veterans selected dudes named Kevin Kolb and Mike Vick.


My observations:
Kolb's arm looks better than advertised | Vick is inaccurate | Bradley Riley Cooper catches everything | Cornelius Ingram appears to have working legs.

What do you see? (Very loud and auto-playing) video after the jump.

Fun With Dave Spadaro

Fox News :: Republicans
Dave Spadaro :: The Eagles Organization's feathery green dick

And while I sincerely do appreciate the fact that he reports on OTA's and other shit I wouldn't otherwise have access to, he's really just the nerdy mouthpiece for an otherwise cool organization.

The images are pulled from a report on philadelphiaeagles.com about how Hank Baskett looks impressive so far this year. I guess losing the Superbowl for your team has some kind of life-altering inspirational affect...or something.

Behold my boredom and immaturity after the jump.

Spadaro Not Only Swallows, He Can Spit Too

Dave Spadaro annoys the shit out of me. As an employee of the Eagles he gives way too much praise when none is due and way too little criticism when a lot is needed. He comes across as too much of an apologist for me, so much so that I stopped reading the Eagles Web site two years ago.

But dude, this is hilarious:
