Celek vs. Brooking; Andrews in Omaha?
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
A few quick links before calling it a night.
If you missed them earlier, here are my observations from today's Eagles practice. And here is the video report.
We've been chronicling the back and forth between Brent Celek and Cowboys linebacker Keith Brooking all offseason.
Brooking fired the first comments in early April, saying the Eagles were predictable and that the Cowboys' defense knew what was coming on every play.
Celek responded, saying he was "irked" by Brooking's comments and that he couldn't wait to play Dallas again.
The guys at 103.3 FM ESPN in Dallas-Fort Worth played Celek's comments back for Brooking, who responded:
"Oh, he’ll find me, I promise," Brooking said, per Matt Mosley of ESPN.com. "You can print that one. He won’t have to look for me very hard. ...He can jump in the middle of our huddle, if he’s that bad."
Celek will have to wait awhile. The Eagles and Cowboys don't meet until Week 14 in Dallas. The two teams square off again in the regular-season finale at the Linc.
* Shawn Andrews has been drafted by the Omaha Nighthawks, per Pro Football Talk. Per PFT, the five-team league is announcing picks in its 12-round draft via Twitter. Andrews was the first pick in the third round.
* Mike Shanahan told reporters Wednesday that the Redskins have made a formal offer to Brian Westbrook.
"We want him to sign with us," Shanahan said, per The Washington Post. "Like I said, it could be some great competition. I really like Brian, what he's done and how he's handled himself. I'm sure he's weighing some options. It's not too far away from home. Any more I can do?"

Comment removed.- Larry Johnson, Willie Parker, Clinton Portis, Brian Westbrook how many over the heal runnings can one team use. I hear John Riggins is ready to suit it up again.— idrease
- McNabb and Westbrook in DC? Kind of like when Brian Mitchell came to Philly.— dviljoen
Brooking sounds like TheKolbInterceptionMachineShow.— Richard Saunders- Comment removed.
- At least our 2 wins will come against the Dead Skins....— traugdog420
- TheKolbMachine.....wishes he could play football with that fat gut and four eyes he has..........:-p
- Comment removed.
- Mike Vick is one of the best QBs the Eagles have. You know it, Kolb knows it and half the fans know it. Learn how to spell EAGLES! Idiot.
- Behind Kolb's excellent leadership and outstanding talent, the Eagles will easily hit 12-4 this year, while the Redskins tumble to 2-14 with their ancient washed up RBs, zero WRs, and aging QB.— TheKolbTouchdownMachineShow
