Thomas Jones? Yes Please!

Have you ever known that you need someone? The Birds need another back, that's unanimous. Who, oh who, could spell Shady McCoy, be a veteran in the locker room, and get yards with power?

May we here at the D-train Daily present Thomas Jones. Mr. Jones has a solid resume. He is coming off his 5th straight season of 1100 yards or more. He has averaged over four yards per carry in all but one of those seasons (3.6 in 2007). That was also the same season that Jones had the lowest total of yards (1119) in his streak. Last season Jones rushed for a career-high 1402 yards on a career-high 331 yards. So even if last season represented Jones' zenith, the drop off should more than suit the Eagles' purpose.

Keep in mind that Jones is 31, however he does not have too many miles on him. He was a part time back his first four seasons. Also combating a decline for Jones is the fact that he is in shape. No, actually this guy is jacked! Have you seen him? WWE owner Vince McMahon looks at him and says, "Damn!"

Tomorrow Jones is off to Kansas City for to visit the Chiefs and that fine. It's a business and he will explore his options. But would it hurt Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid to make a call to Jones while he's on his way there?

"Hey Thomas this is Big Red. Yeah. You're goin' to Kansas City. That's a James Brown song. Of course I have soul. Isn't Kansas City rebuilding? Not much to do outside of downtown. Nice town though. We're good here in Philly. We get bored, we take a day trip to New York, D.C. What are you doing after you're done there you should stop by. Of course we like you. Did I mention we're a contender? Ok. Good. One favor, would you stop my Arthur Bryant's and grab me 2 racks of ribs and a beef brisket. I'll pay you back when you get here."

The video of Baylor freshman Brittney Griner punching Jordan Barncastle (fun name) during a game this past Thursday was on the monitor on the cafe. Tangled together Barncastle flings Griner a few feet, and Griner pops her one.

As comedian Kevin Hart once said, "Whatever happened to the shove?!"

"Shouldn't be long 'til we have our first bench-clearing brawl at a women's game," said our Conductor.

Oh if only.
