McNabb Redskins Jersey Guy Rocks Kolb in PM

BETHLEHEM -- Eagles fan Jim Devlin, the guy Eagles security asked to take off his Donovan McNabb Redskins jersey during the morning session of training camp, appeared for the afternoon practice wearing a red No. 4 Eagles Kevin Kolb practice jersey.
Devlin, of King of Prussia, said he bought the Kolb jersey during lunch break, from the souvenir stand. He said he'd intended to buy a Kolb jersey at some point, and figured this was as good a time as any.
Devlin seemed taken aback by the media stir he'd caused. He spent much of the afternoon practice talking to Eagles spokesman Derek Boyko and security official Dom DiSandro.
In the morning, Devlin said DiSandro told him coach Andy Reid wanted the jersey removed. Boyko later said Reid in fact had not noticed the jersey, that DiSandro was invoking Reid's general feelings, and not acting on a specific request.
Boyko said the Eagles don't have a hard-and-fast policy on such things, but that credentialied guests, as opposed to people who just come and sit in the stands, are supposed to be screened at their entry onto the field at Lehigh, and that the wearing of other teams' jerseys is discouraged.
Devlin was on the sideline on a guest pass, provided by friend Frank Deutchki, of Schwenksville, who accompanied him. Devlin said he was surprised by the whole scene, but emphasized there were no hard feelngs.
"I wasn't trying to make a statement, I was just trying to get a reaction out of the fans," said Devlin, who said he understood the organization's "business decision" to part with McNabb in April, and likes what he has seen from Kolb.
Devlin, who said he bought the jersey about a month ago, said he wore it to the Phils-Mets game Sunday, drawing scattered notices of disapproval from other fans. He said he wasn't expecting to draw reaction from the Eagles
"If you're (running) training camp, something like that, you're probably focused on other things -- I'd probably be worried about these guys (pointing toward the players) than all of these guys (the fans and media)," he said.
It was Devlin's first visit to training camp. He said if he'd known it would be a problem, he would have bought and worn a Stewart Bradley jersey.
After the forced removal, Deutchki carried the jersey in a plastic bag, with Devlin wearing a red T-shirt.
Fans here and there have worn Eagles McNabb jerseys at this camp without incident.

On the field, tight end Brent Celek (illness) did not practice in the morning session, which was not conducted in pads or with hitting. Celek returned for the afternoon. He said he'd eaten cheesecake the night before that had set out too long.
Cornelius Ingram, back at full speed after time off earlier this week, and Clay Harbor took snaps with the first team in Celek's absence.
Running back Mike Bell also took part in the workouts. Defensive tackle Antonio Dixon, who has been out with a concussion, returned for the afternoon practice after missing the morning.
Center Nick Cole and cornerback Macho Harris remain sidelined.
Kicker David Akers returned to the morning practice after missing the last two days.
*Kolb beat an all-out blitz with a flip over the top to an uncovered Shady McCoy.
*Next blitz, Trevor Laws and Trent Cole got into Kolb's face, batting down his pass attempt.
*Kelley Washington blocked a Ken Parrish punt.
*Asante Sanuel jumped a DeSean Jackson route and knocked the ball away.
***
Todd Herremans declined further comment on Tweetgate. Herremans took down a Tweet and apologized after opining that the third season of True Blood unleashed a "barrage of homosexuality."
Jeremy Maclin, not surprisingly, was displeased by the huge deal some media outlets made of whatever his apparently minor on-field argument with DeSean Jackson was about. Maclin decried the tendency of people to invent a narrative, when, in fact, no one overheard what was said.
"It wasn't a big deal," Maclin said. "It wasn't anything."
Maclin sent this Tweet to Jackson yesterday evening: "Reporters lookin to start somethin ... funny how that works ... riding all day."

Andy, I think you have more things to worry about, like an OFFENSIVE LINE!!— duckman15- Andy better hope that Kevin Kolb is the second coming of Johnny Unitas, or he'll be seeing a lot more of those jerseys.— drbob1
- If you are a guest on the sidelines why would you want to insult the organization that invited you there as a guest? If you are on the sideline then I assume you are either with the media or associated with the team in some way. I bet they wouldn't ask people in the stands to do that.
- Why doesn't Andy get rid of Vick? That upsets a lot of fans. Once again it shows how classless the Eagles are- they sell a guy a shirt and then don't let them wear it. Next thing you know they'll invite fans to an event, charge them money, and have a drawing to see who gets shot at the end of the event.— jtj10
- Good for Andy. Obviously the guy that wore the shirt got the reaction he was looking for. Dope.— TheMan
- Both TomCrymes and TheMan make a good point. It's one thing in the stands, it's rude if the team invited you to be a guest on the sidelines. But again, I have a feeling they'll have more than their share of those guys at the Linc this year. Unless they stop them at the gate.— drbob1
- friends don't let friends wear McNabb Redskin jerseys. Eagles 2010=SUPER BOWL!!!— notch44
- absolitely ridiculous to make a fan remove a jersey. absolutely ridiculous.— Menace.II.Sobriety
- So, is the Big Redhead going to have all such attendees removed from home games, too????— Marchmadness
- Big RED should have had Butch kick him out of the stadium,go stand on the deadskins sideline you loser (probably was panpizza or 49cent..good move Big RED!...2012-SB!!......wolf.— wolf 4
- This is what you get paid to write Les? You are getting more pathetic by the day!— mmonahan
- If you are a true Eagles fan, you would NEVER wear a Redskins jersey. If you are not an Eagles fan, get off of our field.— mikeyhigs
- If andy was smart about it, he would have run a pass play towards this clown on the side line and let Kolb peg him in the nose with the pass.— barefoot
- Can go either way on this, and Im not a big fan of control freaks, but in this case they did the right thing only because the guy is obviously just looking for a reaction. Both sides may need to do some growing up, but much more so for this loser who was looking to irritate the same people who allowed him access to the sidelines to start with. Its just ignorant.— Sewellmatt
- Stay classy, Eagles!— smel4727
- Yesterday, I went to the Redskins practice wearing my #5 EAGLES jersey. Many fans heckled the Green Jersey, and a few inquired as to what were we (the Eagles) thinking, about the trade. They love MCNABB, and the fan base is excited to see him play.— vapoppop
Comment removed.
i'm no big mcnabb fan, but it was a big selling jersey. i'm sure there are millions out there. for years all i had was a mamula jersey. in case the eagles didn't notice a GIANT recession happening whilst they were busy spending our millions, it costs a lot for new jerseys. and with players coming and going for so long now, it's hard to buy a new jersey every dang year. if they eagles were huge aholios about this, they shoulda given him a kolb jersey then. p.s. i just got a desean jackson jersey. so the birds better keep him for at least the next 6-8 years or i'm gonna show up in my old jersey. i wonder if the eagles will make me take off my bill bergey jersey. this is not some classless act like wearing a lebron MIAMI jersey at a cleveland game to incite a riot. mcnabb was pushed out.— Evilvet- Shouldn't have worn it on the sidelines, or he should have known somebody was going to tell him to take it off. I have an Eagle's Trotter jersey and Westbrook jersey and I'm sure both would have been fine, but at Training camp for the team, even more so than a game, you support the team practicing or don't be there. I didn't want to see McNabb gone, but he is, move on, and support the current players. If you want to wear a Redskin's jersey, go to their camp.— Bleue
- The Eagles are feeling very insecure, if they care about the clothing that fans wear. Let your football performance speak for you.— Reinholds
- evilet, it was a skin's jersey, he had to have just bought it, your bad economy argument is useless if he just bought it...— Bleue
- "they sell a guy a shirt and then don't let them wear it. What the hell are you talking about? Read the article at least before posting you nitwit.— BallsDeep
If he was invited guest to an Eagles practice and showed up in any other jersey, he was just being a wise guy and should have been put on the field as a tackling dummy. Why deny him the full experience of watching the action up closely?- So it's the case of the provacateur vs.the control freak; next on the peoples court. I've already changed the channel.— Rick Wise Guy
- It isn't that it was a McNabb Jersey that is the problem, it is that it is a Redskin Jersey that is the problem. I have no problem with this. He disrespected the Eagles Nation.— ChrisM
- Hey Milkey,I'm guessin it was an old Eagles #5 jersey he was wearin otherwise he woulden't have made it on campus let alone the sideline.— Wave1
Good for Andy. The guy's a guest, of the EAGLES, on the sideline. He should NOT be wearing a McChuckles Skins jersey. It's as bad as holding up a "go cowboys" sign.— Richard Saunders- In related news, Mr. Devlin, in an angry fit of rage after being told to remove his McNabb jersey, attempted to fire a water bottle at Coach Reid. However, any concerns over injury to Mr. Reid were alleviated when the water bottle bounced three yards in front of him.— toccheyhockey
- Sigh. Here's an idea, Reid... do what the Phillies do and just WIN a championship for once.— KDH
- tshirt, shmeeshirt, wth. Concentrate on dumping vick!!— bucky95
- An eagles fan would never wear a redskin jersey, you are a loser if you do.... like mcnabb was all that great.... please........— kramer65
- The guy should not be wearing a Redskins jersey on the Eagles sideline. You don't think Shanahan wouldnt do the same thing?— mcat13
- Wave1 - what part of "Donovan McNabb Redskins jersey" (first sentence of article) do you not understand?— shadesofdeath
- This guy has only himself to blame. I went to a practice session up at Lehigh with a sideline pass last week, and when the Eagles sent us our sideline passes, they also sent a page of clear ground rules that everyone watching camp from the sidelines must abide by. Those ground rules clearly said that fans watching from the sidelines were prohibited from wearing clothing deemed inappropriate. Maybe there's some debate as to what constitutes "inappropriate," but this guy should've exercised some discretion in choosing what to wear, because as several commenters have already noted, he was on the sidelines as a guest of the Eagles. The team sets up ground rules for their guests' behavior on the sidelines at training camp, and this guy failed to abide by those rules, so I have no sympathy for him.— dsan03

HOW BOUT THAT FAT GUY ANDY REID TAKE OFF THAT RING HE WEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— daveH- What a joke...who is Andy Reid to tell someone to take off a peice of clothing...I mean, he coudln't tell his kids to put the drugs down. I guess he has to find other ways to assert his authority, or what authority he thinks he has!!!— cynmoe
- They traded McNabb...he didn't leave them. He gave them 10 good years so he still has some fans. Ridiculous to even think twice about a fan's jersey.— JonKap
- "Devlin was surprised but also really angry. He was curious what other fans' reaction would be so he also wore the jersey to Sunday's Phillies-Mets game." All this guy wants is attention. His 15 minutes are up. MOVE ON!— jkmummer
- I AGREE with mikeyhigs....die hard eagles fans who bleed Eagle green would never don a REDSKINS jersey!! This guy is a nitwit...beat it punk. Go down to DC and cheer your boy McSadd....
- Comment removed.
- Love the idea of firing a ball at him on a pass play... woulda been good for morale. I agree on the other poster who said it equates to holding up a GO COWBOYS sign. If you are there to support your team, support it, not make a statement on your dearly departed QB.— USAFruss
- Just another example of the NFL Gestapo mentality.— Eddieboy
- They should have kicked that idiot out of camp. I hate McNabb loyalists. If you're an Eagles fan don't wear a Skins jersey unless you want to be a fraud.— mgeagles12227
- The guy justed what he got, to get his sad mug in the media ... a pathetic alleged man got his 15 minutes of fame ... Andy would have been wrong no matter what he did.— AsValidAsYours
- It was kind of lame to wear a McNabb Skins jersey, but telling the guy he had to remove it? Was he also ordered to show his papers? Has Andy Reid become Stalin?— phillyinsd
- Rumor has it that Fat Andy will ask McNabb to remove his #5 Redskins jersey when he spots him on Washington's sideline.— mcbeerman
- THIS USED TO BE A FREE COUNTRY. Whether it was bad taste or not isn't the issue. Reid or whoever ordered the shirt removed is just plain petty.— rad205
- THIS USED TO BE A FREE COUNTRY. Whether it was bad taste or not isn't the issue. Reid or whoever ordered the shirt removed is just plain petty.— rad205
- THIS USED TO BE A FREE COUNTRY. Whether it was bad taste or not isn't the issue. Reid or whoever ordered the shirt removed is just plain petty.— rad205
More reason to wish Reid was coaching someplace else... and why this team won't ever win a SB as currently constituted (i.e., those in charge)... ridiculous.— Ump Al- No enemy attire on the sidelines. This guy is total tool! They should have taken the jersey and burned it in front of him. Loser!— jdld610
- must not be a real Eagles fan! no real eagles fan would ever wear a deadskins jersey!!— pieman
- Good. This clown wore this jersey just to get attention and the media fell for it! Way to go!— Fascism Rules
- McNabb probably paid the "fan" to wear the jersey...Devlin, Redskins camp is only 2 hours away...— kaiser28
- Who cares? Why would you wear a 'Skins jersey to a Eagles practice unless you were trying to generate a reaction. For the idiots that constantly stick their noses in the air with references to how "classy" the Eagles and their fans are. This would probably have happened in most of the training camps. Also, if you find the Eagles and their fans so revolting, why do you now fans even come on the Philly sites? Go else where if you're so offended.— PhillyFanSouth
- It is a free country. That's why more powerful people can make lesser people do things.— JohnnyTurnips
Way to go Andy!!! If it was a #5 Eagles jersey, no problem but not a deadskins #5 on our sideline, forgetaboutit.— Flyboy24- I do not believe any directive regarding a fan wearing a McNabb jersey came from Reid or any other Eagle administrator.— chops10
- So, since Devlin and Deutchki are male lovers, is Herremans OK with that? Not that there's anything wrong with that....— Bazalite
- The Eagles have made things real clear with this Devlin incident. All the stuff they say about the games being for the fans is hype. The NFL is all about the money. Well, Reid and fellow millionaires, do you think the tossing of Devlin makes me want to buy more Eagles' jerseys or leans me to boycott Eagles' jerseys for a while?— tacklinjoe
Perhaps he shouldn't have paired it with the gold and burgundy hot pants.- I think the guy wearing the Jersey is a total jerk just looking for trouble. But, I think the Eagles should have taken the high road and ignored the fan. By making him take it off, they just gave the jerk the attention he wanted.— realzeel
- Typical bush league reaction from a bush league coach. Get a life AR and lighten up for gawds sake.— Unstable1
- on the field with a sideline pass, no way you should have the jersey on. if the guy was just sitting in the stands, i have no issue with it— belocki
- While I think the "fan" acted in poor taste, to wear the jersey having been invited to stand on the sideline, Andy would benefit greatly from not being such a thin skinned jerk in these situations. If he'd have laughed it off, he would have come off as the bigger man. Unfortunately, he is incapable of such things. The management of this team is uncategorically unlikeable. Not all of it is justified, but perception IS reality. I wish they would learn that.— ToughLove
- toss any fan who air guitars ... hire more security to b on the lookout ... toss the fat guy for wearing another teams super bowl ring from an eon ago— daveH
- Comment removed.
- this loser(devlin) and his BF(duetchbag) should go to the deadskins camp and prance around with their his and his matching #5 mcfraud jerseys...CYO-why don't you go with them and take the other mcfraud apologists with ya......wolf.— wolf 4
- Would he have been asked to remove the jersey if it was a McNabb Eagles jersey? That's my question. I have 4 Eagles jerseys and they are all of players they team has seen fit to get rid of in the last year or two. I'm not going to keep buying new jerseys just to have the team get rid of the player. The rule is that every member of my family wears Eagles clothes every game, but I don't care whether it is an active player or not, as long as it is Eagles green!— 4rosco
- There's one thing that the stupid "fan" and others miss out on: it's Andy's sideline. You want to be there, you play by his rules. Period. Stands, bleachers, outside the fences...whatever. But he's god of the sideline.— reb
- Sounds petty to me. It's not like McNabb wanted out of town...he got traded!— ajcash
- Andy Reid, you are pathetic. Like the team you work for.— JerseyExit63
- Good for Andy, if someone wore a redskin jersey in 700 level back in the day, it would have been removed for him and promptly set on fire. When did this fan base become such a bunch of pansies. Now we need big Red to fight our battles.— section117
- I bet you that guy has no balls to wear that jersey in the Linc during a regular season game. What a front runner.
ok, like you fellow philly fans wouldn't wear your eagles or flyers jersey to another teams practice if you were there....who cares. he can wear what he wants..if he doesn't mind his jersey soaked in beer and covered with blood, who are we to judge?- I don't get it...Why do grown men want to wear a players jersey anyway? Seen a guy on the OC boardwalk who had to go 250 and change squeezed into a DJax jersey. Time to grow up...— darthgreen
After removing the Jersey, the fan promptly puked on the field, then attempted to throw the jersey into his car, but it came up about 5 feet short.— soybot
theres no way andy actually told him to take the jersey off. guaranteed it was the security guy making it up so the guy would just take off the stupid jersey— MPatt24- In case you didn't notice... take a look at when Les posted the story, and when the first comment was posted. Thats because Les, the great reporter that he is, first posted it without mentioning that it was a redskins mcnabb jersey. Someone probably pointed this out to him (either he didn't actually see the man in the jersey and was too lazy to find out the whole story, or his reporting style is incompetent). Again, Les gets more pathetic every day!— mmonahan
- why wood u ware another teams jerz? micknab isnt here anymore— schmidlack
- Agree with Tom Crymes. Poor form to wear an opponent's jersey when you are a 'special' guest. Guy just wanted attention. This is a non story.— johndenny
- dont wear state penitentiary stripes either, worse than getting kicked out> THE FATTEST GUY IN THE NFL WILL TAKE YOU TO HIS HOME!!! ... but funny story 'man wearing a nfl jersey' HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. he should of had 3 more: TO cowboys/bills/bengals jersey underneath— daveH
- It could have been worse. They could have zapped him with a taser.— The Sod Father
- If u come to my door wearing a cowboys hat ur not getting in. Act like u got some sense when u leave the house and know where ur going.— FMBNG
- Maybe next time he visits this guy could don a KKK outfit. You know, not to make a statement or anything, just to get a reaction.— schnitzelboy
- this was a rerun of a seinfeld episode— RussOCNJ
- i'll never root harder for a former philly player to win a championship. it's extremely unlikely, but it would be sweet. Very arrogant to trade your franchise QB to a division rival. I have a McNabb Redskins jersey. And I'll continue wear it when/where ever I want including the linc when the Redskins come to town. And I dare anyone of you or anyone else to talk smack,throw things or pick a fight, throw punches etc, etc. Guaranteed beat-down from me and my brothers. You're the ones who are punks. McNabb is gone. So what do you care if someone else wears his jersey.It's not like he trashed the team or this city. He's a class act.
- Man, Philly fans are spoiled. Apparently most of you fools forget what life was like before McNabb got to town and turned a consistently bad team into a year in year out title contender, despite the slop that Reid surrounded him with for most of his career.
Andys getting nervous for his job and hes starting to feel the heat, and hes taking it out on the fans, thats brilliant. just like failing to win a championship 11 years in a row, his offensive strategy is so good that any team that uses it has never won a SB in 40+ years of superbowls being played. and 0 times in the history of the league. Do the math. He will NEVER WIN A SB. EVER.- Marchmadness Big Red doesn't have to, us real fans police the stadium for morons wearing the wrong colors!— K_Ball
- A great move! Make him take it off and when he comes to the Linc the fans will remove it for him.— fman727
- He should have been beaten and then the jersey ripped off of him. It's just sooo easy to get your 15 minutes of fame in this country.
- commies— kocide
- Comment removed.
- beaten by who? you the internet ____. philly fans (myself included) are morons. Any real Eagles fans that go to games year in and year out know the truth.I remember the 1st eagles/redskins game i went to in college at the vet. At halftime there were hundreds of redskin fans walking around. Including many eagles/redskins fans joking around with each other. The Eagles lost that game 20-17 in ot. And eagles fans(myself included) walked out depressed and angry passing several skins fans on the way out. Nothing happened. The 700 level had its own laws back in the day. You'd see some crazy things from to time, but nothing in even close to that at the linc. I loved the time #5 was here. Even though he drove me nuts at times with his decision making and accuracy especially in the clutch. We didn't win the big one, but it wasn't all his fault. Reid, Lurie, Banner, that declining special teams unit and that "bend but don't break" defense that could'nt stop the run shares the blame. I'll root for McNabb to do well(except against the eagles) like i did with randall. stop bashing the guy. And i will be wearing my mcnabb jersey to the gameto show my app for what he did as an eagle. i threw the eales one out after he got traded. strandman, go try that with me at the linc. and this board will never hear from you again.
- Let fans come to the Linc with eagle and skins McNabb's name on----only if they also have a BOZO the CLOWN halloween mask on !— jwatson
- This guy is a needler and a jerk, when you are an invited guest you don't try and "get a reaction from fans". Enjoy your 15 min of fame and make sure you wear that jersey to the Linc when the 4skins visit this year - I bet you get a much more noticeable reaction from the fans funny guy.— Twocents
- um-meister - this has nothing to do with McNabb and most of us appreciate his contributions and success. It has to do with someone who self-admittedly wore it to get a rise out of people when granted priviledged access as a "friend" of the team. Don't confuse the issue, McNabb was/is a class act but this article is not about him it is about someone who was given a favor and used that opportunity to cause an unnecessary distraction for people trying to work and train to reach their goals for the season.— Twocents
- WTF? This Eagles regime is so petty. They banned banners in their new stadium which were a classic part of the game. Now their telling people what they can wear? Absolutely ridiculously petty and childish...— Jangocat
- Comment removed.
- I would have insisted that Reid tell me himself. It would have been an opportunity to meet him.— PhillyTru
- Fat boy needs to worry about getting that team in shape and not what the fans are wearing or doing. I wonder if a fan with a Dawkin's Broncos jersey would get the same treatment.— Fat Boy Must Go
- Elaine Bennis— bobcitydoc
- BallsDeep and other ignorant football fans- the NFL and the NFLPA sell jerseys collectively and split the money collectively, with the exception of a commission a team gets if it actually sells the jersey itself. So, the Eagles as part of the NFL collective, sold the jersey to the guy and collect a share of the revenue- but they made him take it off. It must be tough following a sport you don't understand.— jtj10

- If the coaching staff are concerned about what people are wearing on the side lines, the Eagles are in big trouble.... Concentrate between the lines there coach...— zeezuma

- Hey Andy, are you kidding me? He was your "best buddy" for all these years and NOW you have a problem with his jersey? You need help sir, and not just on the offensive line— recGUY
- Thanks a lot Fat Boy. This just gives the media more ammo to bash Philly. No one asked Elephant Andy to remove his magical mormon underwear when he arrived in town....uhhh, on second thought.— Kornholio Kolb
- I guess Andy Reid has a guilty conscience after selling McNabb down the river and blaming the "quarterback" to cover up his coaching shortcomings. It wasn't a quarterback problem it was a COACHING problem Andy!— Grapost
- Big red was right that idiot should have never worn that jersey to training camp . As a grown man your a fan of a team not a single player . Im a Eagle fan if a player leaves SEE YA dont let the door hit ya in the arse— kdubs215
- So the Eagles can hire a killer, but a fan can't wear the jersey of an upstanding player who played in the market for years. Once again, the Eagles prove the point that the organization is completely full of LOSERS ... from Top to Bottom!— savealife
- this is false.. amy fadool reported that andy reid didnt even see the jersey.— lark3319
- If it was at Andy's direction, it looks pretty childish of Andy, actually. For all Andy knows, the guy's just a really big McNabb fan (which seems like something he and Andy would have had in common). I wonder if that would have gone the same way if it were a Clinton Portis jersey instead... Funny thing that Andy's ok with a scum of the earth dog killer wearing an Eagles jersey, but he has a problem with an Eagles fan wearing a McNabb Skins jersey. What an idiot.— kat20
- Just like the Seinfield episode when Elaine got thrown out of Yankee Stadium for wearing an Orioles cap. Life imitates art. Big Andy should do a couple of doobies with his sons and loosen up.— JPTHIBIGBOPPER
- lark3319 - as if Andy would admit it if he did. Andy lies more than he eats.— kat20
- The real reason Andy had him tossed is because the guy refused to go get Andy a cheesesteak.— larry and stan
- BOO anybody that wears a McNabb jersey unless he has a BOZO the CLOWN halloween mask on also. Watch Joe's VS Pro's tonight at l0:00 on Spike TV channel---J. Garcia is one of the pro's (Bet he does better then Cake in the face BANG BANG Vick did a few weeks ago---the leader of the only pro 3 man team to lose to the 3 man Joe's team yet.— jwatson
- He should have worn a Philadelphia Eagles McNabb jersey, rather than a Redskins McNabb jersey. What would the Eagles have done in that case lol?— texas.troubadour
- fear the air guitar— rsjII
- While I think the guy might have used not so good judgement in wearing an opponent's jersey, I don't think that such a big deal should of been made out of it. I am sure that there are other things on that team to worry about. At first the media said it was Reid who wanted the jersey removed and on the news a few minutes ago he denied that it was him. This is typical of the Eagles organization. They all play the blame game.— Nascarfan
- Comment removed.
- If you get to stand on the sidelines maybe you should think about not wearing a rival jersey. Of course you also have to wonder what would happened if it were a Clinton Portis jersey.— Phils_World_Champs
- Aren't you a little too old to be acting like a kid, wanting attention? Seriously, Grow Up! I'm not an Eagles fan but if you're dumb enough to wear a REDSKINS jersey to an EAGLES practice, than you eserve what you get. Pure Idiot!— twpman1
- what a tool; I'm so tired of the Bush II Administration and all of their Police State tactics....now you can't wear the jersey of an EX; why didn't we ban the B Dawk Denver jersey....OH; wait; got it....gotta protect fragile ego Kolb...he's not built like McNabb and cannot be expected to perform looking over his shoulder...this is going to be a GREAT SEASON!!!!— RoastedBird
If you are invited to a kosher dinner by your observant Jewish friends, would you bring a ham? Why not? The same holds for the Eagles SIDELINES as opposed to the stands. Show a little respect to the organization in return for having the priviledge to stand on the sidelines as their guest.— RAS- The sports world would be extremely dull if no one showed up at games or practices wearing other teams' jersies. The last place a reasonable person would ever look for good judgement or life lessons would be to NFL coaches or Goodell. These folks are off the charts out of touch with important human principles.— tacklinjoe
- JTJ10...what the are you talking about? This has NOTHING to do with Vick and the Eagles orginazition did not sell this clown a jersey. Reid much?— tjpup
- Nonsense. Utter and complete nonsense. Demonstrates the ineptitude of Andy Reid.
Congratulations Dude! You're now an official axxhole who feels the need to make a statement and get 15 minutes of fame. And you came to the best place to do it. Our rag mag scribes in Philly are more than willing to oblige.— ej610- Are the Eagles management that insecure? If I were the national sports media, I'd make a big deal about someone having to remove a players jersey. The Eagles management should be embarrassed. Of course, the Philly media guys worship the Eagles management, and are afraid to call them out on it.— RunningTheBases
- Its a shame the IDIOT was not wearing a crackboie jersey, I bet he would have got the reaction he wanted then. Freakin MORON.— Sportsterroy
- Dooooooschbag!!!!! Wow show your family you got your name in the paper...what a richard. Who would go in to somebody house as a guest and spit in the grandmother's tea? He knew what he was doing was unacceptable. You're damn right I'd tell him to take that jersey off or any other NFL teams jersey as a guest of the team. Doooochbaggery is alive and living in the person of Jim Devlin.— Gray Areas
- Cheesecake that has been out to long. WTF— Reggie92
- This was really about this individual wanting attention. He achieved his goal. As to the football today: Celek did not attend morning drills but did attend shortened afternoon drills. Kafka showed a strong arm, Kolb an accurate arm, and Vick improved in the afternoon after a shakey morning showing, but really none of the three impressed. In some ways Kolb was a little dissappointing, clearly not dominating. Buckley continued to stand out, getting a lot of reps and showing good energy, though admittedly those things don't take you off the bubble. April was very animated. The players seemed to not really know where they were going or what they were supposed to do. He seems organized, passionate, and clearly in control. Hopefully it translates to better special teams play, but a lot of special teams still comes down to players executing. Cooper stood out as a receiver, because of both his size and good hands. Max Jean Gilles and Winston Justice were especially kind to fans, going out of their way to sign extra autographs. Go Eagles!— JohnFC
- Jim, here's my statement: you look like a bigger dork than the story portrays, you've humiliated your partner, and your insurance company just dropped your homeowner's policy. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!— 5280philly
Sacking that shirt might be the only sack they get all year.- Andy should have pulled the jersey over the guys head like they do in hockey fights and started wailing him. That would have looked great.— watsonmr
- at least it wasn't a gray patriot's sweatshirt with cut off sleeves. that would have security on a code red.— escapedcamden4monterey
- YAY Eagles! Thanks for growing a pair! That's right, take that darn Deadskins jersey off! McNagg is now the Enenmy! He wanted to go to the Deadskins instead of the Raiders so he gets what we're ready to give him. And anybody wearing his new jersey deserve the treatment they get too! And so what if people wear Dawkins Denver jersey? SO WHAT? Dawkins was more loved by the Eagles fans that Donowhine so he gets a pass. GO EAGLES! Beat the Cowgurls and Deadskins!
- for once i will defend the eagles organization, though a better idea would have been to bring Shane Victorino over from the Iron Pigs to give the guy a shaving cream pie. As usual, there is a Seinfeld episode that applies to this situation. Remember when Elaine was in the box seats at the Yankees game wearing an Orioles hat, refused to take it off and got kicked out of the game? if the guy was merely attending camp, there would have bee no problem, but he was in an area given special access by the Eagles..it would be like being invited to the White House for lunch and you show up wearing a George Bush jersey— jim715
- This fan was looking for his name in the paper...reporters played to this chumps agenda.....— SkipinWV
- He had a sideline pass. He shouldn't be wearing other teams jerseys. It would be one thing if he was in the general stands, but this guy's a dope obviously looking for trouble.— bleedmidnightgreensection236

waaaaaaa, bunch of crybabies.. and barefoot, he was probably to far away for kolb to hit him. he must have been 15 yards or more away...— kfoell- Redskin mans is a jerk.— aintmisinphilly
- I don't care if the guy was looking for a reaction. The reaction he should have gotten was "hey that's funny", not take off the jersey. This is a ridiculous over-reaction. It's childish on the Eagles' part. There is zero justification for their reaction.— Phillies2008WSChamps
- A NY GIANTS POP UP ON THIS WEB SITE. Are you kidding me!!!!!! TREASON!!!!!!— Troy Winston
- The guy is an idiot. Plain and simple.— jackwo
- This guy (Devlin) is a complete a-hole.— PinkGargoyle

- WOW...is Reid nervous or what?!! And then they try to cover it up and say he "had not noticed the jersey....". Nice. First they make a pathetic move and tell him to remove it, and then they lie for Reid so he doesn't have to address this boneheaded move. It's ok, Andy.....we understand completely. You're SCARED.— philly449
- THe reports from Redskin camp is that McNabb is struggling bad right now with his timing.
Can I wear a shirt that says I Support the Dog Skull Smasher? It would only be a show of support.— COskier- Invited guest or not wear what u want no big deal, GO Donovan— grayesong
- I already saw this on the episode of "Seinfeld" when Elaine went to sit in the owner's box at Yankee Stadium wearing an Orioles cap.— ChiefClancyWiggum
- This guy is a world-class peckerhead.— BillyFortune
- Comment removed.
