Stardate 042609. Feeling quite pleased with the Phillies three-game sweep of the Marlins. Truly filleted their bullpen. Opportunistic bats storm to the forefront. Jamie Moyer doesn’t drink cocktails, he sips from the fountain of youth. Cameron Maybin looks like a lost puppy at the plate. Raul Ibanez is the only man on the planet who [...]

Specccccccctacular – Sheldon Brown wants out
As seen on ESPN (and directed to check there by the comments section at IgglesBlog), Sheldon Brown wanted to renegotiate his contract. The Eagles said no. Now, Sheldon wants a trade.
Damnit.
You know, I was still enjoying the buzz from yesterday. I was feeling good about Jason Peters coming to town, and the prospect of the [...]

McNabb pays homage to Dawk and Tra; the Pundit wonders if remarks should be over-analyzed
Donovan McNabb has blogged once more, saying a few final words for some vanquished teammates. From Yardbarker:
I have been a part of the Philadelphia Eagles for 10 years and I have not played a game, attended a practice, sweated in training camp, built a playground or participated in a Carnival, and more importantly dreamed of [...]

The Pattison Pundit sucks! (Crap, now the Pundit has to fire himself). Digging into the Dan Leone situation
From the Editor: We are sad to announce today that the Pattison Pundit has fired himself from his own blog. It recently came out that the Pundit had made some rather disparaging remarks about himself on his own Facebook page, as well as on the title above. Granted, he didn’t do it on company time, [...]

TO gets cut, claims Karma held secretive meetings with Jerry Jones
Michael Smith, apparently the man in the know these days, has reported that the Cowboys are cutting TO. Ah, how the mighty have fallen. Here at The Pattison Pundit, I am reporting that, according to my sources (Editor’s note: Insert hyperactive imagination here), TO is reportedly blaming this roster cut on secretive meetings Karma has [...]

Has the loss of another player ever been this heartbreaking?
Seriously, has there ever been a player that has caused more unrest in Philly than the loss of Dawkins has?
Now, I have to concede this one to the older folks a bit, seeing as my own experiences with sports don’t stretch far beyond the 90’s.

There will be plenty of blame game to go around; for now, a few words in honor of Brian Dawkins
There are many majestic moments in sports. The larger-then-life, lost-in-the-lights home run from the bat of a slugging hero. The slow-motion shot that seems to brush the ceiling before descending through a barely disturbed net as time expires.
But who would ever describe one man, crashing violently into another, as a truly majestic experience to behold?
And [...]

I’m getting a little ferklempt: Eagles lose options, Sixers stay put. Talk amongst yourselves.
Rhode Island – neither a road, nor an island. Discuss.
Yesterday, the NFL took a personnel day. And if you’re an Eagles fan, it was a disappointing one. The Panthers made their move, and it wasn’t pretty for our Birds – by resigning Gross, and franchising Peppers, they took away two very interesting options.
Alas, that was [...]
