IS TAKING DOC TO SEE THE DOC
The Eagles continue to be mentioned in online speculation about free-agent guard (and accomplished oboe player!) Chester Pitts, whose agent is trying to scare up interest in a 31-year-old client coming off microfracture surgery.
A team source termed the signing of Pitts "unlikely."
Must be the age; usually the Birds' brass loves guys coming off potential career-threatening surgery! (OK, that isn't strictly true, but it's the sort of thing that sounds like it might be true, and plays to the front office haters.. Eagletarian is going for the Fox News approach, angling for more hits.)
Oh, and Chris Johnson's revision in Tennessee never had anything to do with DeSean Jackson's contract situation, and continues not to have anything to do with DeSean Jackson's situation. (Different position, different draft round, different length of contract, different objectives in a new deal.)
The guy who translates DJax Tweets apparently is off today, but if I understood @deseanjackson10 correctly, he is
looking forward to reporting to Lehigh next week. Here is the original text, for those of you who speak Cali: "All my ppl in Philly I'm good out here.. Let's worry bout bigger and better things 2010... Ohh let's do it... I'm on my KILLER season..."
Les
Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News
since 2002.
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.

Paul
Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982.
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.
