Shawn Andrews on stealing money; Kendra on Eagles
Daily News staff
Shawn Andrews apparently is monitoring what is being said about him since his release from the Eagles this week.
Andrews, who has changed his Twitter screen name from ShawnAndrews73 to MrRandom73, makes reference to a former teammate with a a radio show who has been critical of him.
"There is an X coworker of mine who is now doing radio taking shots @ me. He better relax before I pull a Ocho Cinco... I'm so not the controversial type..... I wouldn't disrespect one of my own to get a check.. GOD Bless u bro... "
He also is sensitive to the notion that he was "stealing" money from the Eagles while he was injured. He brought the subject up in the form of a question, but his opinion is clear.
"If u have a job, and you get hurt on the job, and because your job know that u can help them succeed they keep u on the payroll til u are healthy or until they decide to go in another direction... Is that stealing???"
Andrews also provided a link to a gospel music video on YouTube from the Williams Brothers. The message: Don't judge other people and get your own house in order before you criticize someone else.

The Eagles’ re-acquisition of wide receiver Hank Baskett also means the return of his wife, Kendra Wilkinson, the Playboy model, former ex of Hef and current star of reality TV and supermarket tabloids.
Kendra, whose reality show on E! recently began its second season featuring the birth of Hank Baskett IV, was interviewed on Fox Sports and had this to say about coming back to Philly. Baskett spent most of last season with Indianapolis after being released by the Birds.
“He is back with the Eagles and we are very excited about it. Indianapolis was a very great organization to be at and he loved Coach Caldwell and the whole association and everything. Going back to the Eagles it just feels like we are going back home. My family is from Philly and everything and we love Andy Reid and we love Jeffrey Lorie and we love, love, love the Eagles and we are excited. We have been in L.A. for only two weeks and we are already looking for a house in Philadelphia and it is a lot of fun and we just love being with the Eagles… Hank played a lot with the Eagles and I am sure they are going to play a lot this year.”

As expected, the Eagles declined to match defensive end Jason Babin’s offer from Tennesee, clearing the way for him to join the Titans. Babin had a clause written into his contract with the Eagles when he signed before last season that gave the Eagles seven days to match any offer.
“I’ve been trying not to think about it too much because the Eagles had the right to match the offer, and I didn’t know what they’d do,” Babin said. “I’m ecstatic right now. I can’t wait to get in there, start working out with the team and go through the offseason with Coach Washburn and the other players and coaches there. The style of defense the Titans play, as far as what the defensive line does and the way they want their guys to play, it suits my abilities. They get wide, they come off the ball, they rush the passer, and they’re aggressive. To me, it’s just a natural fit.”

Quote of the day belongs to Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, when asked by the team’s Web site about the release of Kevin Curtis: “It’s unfortunate. I didn’t really see that coming, but that's how football is. You're renting space and eventually your lease is up. Eventually my lease will be up."
Comment removed.
Of course Andrews would not have to disrespect one of his own to collect a check. He gets paid millions of dollars a year not to play football.— AreaMan- I didn't really see an outright release coming either....you had to figure he'd be worth something...confusing business...thank gawd we have folks like "Big cushy" to provide insight and analysis...— roke
- @ Big Cushy. Maclin is a very smart kid, hence the bit of wit he made about "renting space". I'm sure you don't get that and simply want to insult the intelligence of a 22yr old kid.— Philadelphiafreedom81
- maybe he was being polite big crushy..something you need to learn— crohnkiller
- Big Cushy... "think" You don't throw darts at teamamates and former teammates. Did you expect Maclin to say " of course we got tid of him he's old and slow and I'm better?" Maclin was very politic. Let's reference Big cushy as a brain surgeon...ay? Maclin knew... he just wouldn't commit to saying it. Shows he has a brain!— Prausch
- sorry...thats "got rid..." not tid..damn fat fingers I have!— Prausch
- I like Maclin's analogy, but in Curtis' case it wasn't a lease expiration, it was a foreclosure due to delinquent performance payments. Similar to Reggie Brown, where he got a house based on one good year of earnings in a neighborhood he really wanted to live in (starting WR in NFL) but in the end was too hard to maintain and was subsequently evicted.— kcruel
- I agree with you "Prausch" Maclin gave a very political but effective response. I've never heard teams readjusting their roster used that way in an analogy. As for "Big cushy" he's just another member of Negadelphia Nation. They love to get up 1st thing in the morning spew their hate then go about their business.— Nothing but the truth
- Also noticed that BWest was just renting space in Eagletarian banner and was replaced by Jackson. That's cold, but that's the business.— kcruel
- Sixer stink, the three Eds stink and Big Cushy stinks.. yeah Down with Cushy— zeekspeak
- you forgot to mention the flyers stink too.— Dparente
- Out of all the moves the Shawn Andrews cut is the most disappointing. He was probably the best guard in the game and when he played never had any lapses. Winston Justice was a good story last year but his run blocking ability leaves much to be desired. Also with this move it now leaves the door wide open for the Eagles to select a offensive lineman in the 1st or 2nd round.— Nothing but the truth
- Maybe Small Cushy should try to have the intelligence of a 2nd grader and read between the lines. Congrats on being the first to comment and being the biggest idiot on here.— Phillies1120
- "Is that stealing money?" in your case Big Lazy...yes. Ike Reese isn't ripping Andrews, just speaking the truth. He was lazy, and didn't like football, and acted like the Eagles owed him something. His sexuality wasn't even an issue.— dragoon6
