The time has come to cut off the life-support machine. News broke all over the place that the Eagles will release Brian Westbrook next month. The staff at the D-train Daily is looking forward to the video montage of Westbrook highlights that will likely be on Comcast Sports Network tonight. Watching him dart in and through defenses was a such a pleasure.
The Carolina Panthers will allow defensive end Julius Peppers to enter the free-agent market since they won't be able to re-sign him. The Panthers likely would have had some loot to spare if they had not given QB Jake Delhomme a substantial extension last year (5 years, 42.5 million). Even before this past season's 18 interception mess, Delhomme's contract begged the question...FOR WHAT!!! After, even during, the season the extension could have been called, as grannyandthepig.wordpress.com put it, "the worst NFL money ever spent."
The Detroit Lions are willing to trade down from the number two pick in the April's NFL draft. It only makes since. Lions fans traded down when they adopted that team. Last week the Lions announced they would be reducing ticket prices for the second straight year. Perhaps they should copy the slogan for the Sixers' next ticket-sales campaign, "Take these tickets! Please!"
Green Bay Packers GM Ted Thompson has to be smiling about Minnesota's upcoming off-season. Now it's the Vikes' turn to wait until August for Brett Favre to announce his intentions.
Outfielder Johnny Damon has agreed to a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions. According to ESPN's First Take, Damon said of the signing, "It's where I always wanted to be." ESPN must have forgotten to add when Mr. Damon said,"l-o-l." Nothing but proud Philadelphians work on this train, but there is not one reason to chose Detroit over New York.
THIS JUST IN: No one on the University of Oregon football team has been arrested in a week.
well This would be ok for me, but what is the plan i know NOTHING!!!!!
