Kobe in an Eagles uniform?
options
 
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was pulling for the Eagles last week, but after the loss, he had some thoughts about how the Birds could improve their red-zone production.

Basically, get him on the field.

"I'd be a wide receiver," Bryant said. "I'd be a bad [expletive] too. No more red-zone issues. Over the top, I'm [Randy] Mossing it."

Does he have the breakaway speed?

"What? All that man. I'm physical as hell," Bryant said.

You've surely seen the LeBron James commercial by now where he announces he's signing with the Cleveland Browns. I've added the video below.

Back to football a little later. The national media has had quite a bit to say about the Eagles after their loss. I'll deliver some of the links this afternoon.

    Would that make him the Eagles 2nd best receiver on the depth chart?

    Bring him in!!!! That would be one heck of a story. Hopefully Kobe wins a championship this year and then decides he's proven everything he needs to prove on a basketball court, and wants to become a WR for the Eagles.
