IS TAKING DOC TO SEE THE DOC
Even as it appears more likely that the Eagles will sign linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, team president Joe Banner was not about to reveal the team's intentions.
At a media event this morning at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Banner declined to comment on Trotter's situation. All he would say is, "We've worked him out."
Trotter has now worked out twice for the Eagles, once yesterday, as we documented here on Eagletarian and in today's Daily News.
Banner and Phillies president David Montgomery attended the event to announce a joint partnership involving a fundraising initiative for breast cancer research. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
If signed, Trotter would be the largest linebacker on the roster and would help the Eagles defend the run. The Eagles allowed 120-plus rushing yards just six times in 19 games last season, but four of those six came against division opponents.
More to come ...

Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les
only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no
penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite
what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News
from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much
lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their
two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey.

He has spent most of his nearly 3 decades with the paper covering the
Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a
selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre
and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo started his career in Texas,
working first for the Midland Reporter-Telegram (1976-78), and then for
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas
Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually was
boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose 2 sports coats to
blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley,
a University of Oklahoma grad who still hasn’t gotten over
that Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State 5 years ago, have 2 terrific
daughters -- Allison, 28, who is an attorney in South Jersey, and Amy,
25, who works in administration for a professional baseball team.
