CINCO TO OCHO CINCO

Sometimes the pregame is more entertaining than the actual game and this has a chance to be one of those days.

Quite a scene developed early this morning, according to Eagles commentator Mike Quick and Eagles web site coordinator Dave Spadaro.

Both men witnessed Bengals star receiver Chad Ocho Cinco/Johnson cut into a line of Eagles wide receivers during warmups and run a slant pattern. When Cinco (Donovan McNabb) hit Ocho Cinco (Johnson) in stride, the Bengals' receiver went to his knees and looked up into the sky, then hugged McNabb.

Apparently Ocho Cinco has the same dreams at night as a lot of Eagles fans.

Andy's not going anywhere, Folks. By Philly standards, he's a winner and ownership would be hard pressed to cut him loose. Maybe they can get a real GM in there to make him justify his decisions. What if No. 5 is benched, can we really rely on Kolbe (or whatever his name is)?

Klecko is a gamer. Not his fault he's not a fullback, and the coaching staff keeps shuffling him around.

You were witnessing wishful thinking of having ocho cinco on the same team as cinco.... what a great way for both of them to finish their football careers, l truly believe they both have something left for a few years... if Cincy isnt interested, Reid should be... God Bless the U.S.A.

Klecko played great on the d-line, but just like Reed, he moved him from there to fullback. That's just one of the problems with Reed, he needs a fullback, he puts a lineman back there, need a linebacker, plug in a d-end, need a running back, use a 170 pound end (Jackson), need a punter, get a soccer player, need a snapper, use a tightend, on and on. His foolishness never ends. Lurie, take note...you need a coach (you really do) so get a COACH this time. I feel sorry for the Eagles fans who drove to Cincy for that mess, sorrier for the fans who have paid all that money for Eagle season tickets!

Funny how coaches salary has nothing to do with the salary cap but it is the players and the team who are going to get cut (fired, in sports lingo), traded or benched. Meanwhile, Lurie keeps taking our money, Reid keeps making baffling decisions that small children scoff at and McNabb and Westbrook get to watch their careers roll by. Kevin Kolb. Come on! If you want Kolb let McNabb go to the Bears and I hope he comes back and destroys our defense next year....maybe that will shut up these haters.

The 45-year-old Brookover lives in Delran with his wife Francine and roots for Notre Dame and Michigan State, the two schools attended by his children, Justine and Ryan. When Notre Dame plays Michigan State, he cheers for the school of the child he likes more at that particular moment.

Jeff McLane, right, joined the Eagles beat in April 2009 after two years of covering colleges, namely Penn State football. Before that he covered high school sports for The Inquirer. Before that he worked in the mailroom (not quite). Informed that his father is no longer covering the Lions, McLane's eldest, three-year-old son said, "You mean Simba, Scar and Mufasa, Daddy?" His two-year-old son -- excited about the move to the Eagles -- said, "Go, Deigo, Go!" or something like that. His wife of five-plus years, however, had a different take on the new job. "Another five years is in question," she said. Check out McLane on Twitter and Facebook for instant updates on the Eagles.
