Note the news that flashed across my email inbox this morning:
Eagles: Eagles release Takeo Spikes
The Philadelphia Eagles have announced that they have released veteran linebacker Takeo Spikes, according to philadelphiaeagles.com. A 10-year NFL veteran, Spikes spent the 2007 season with the Eagles and finished second on the team with 139 tackles and also had one sack in 14 games. Spikes missed the final two games of the season with a torn rotator cuff.
The report didn't speculate on the starting linebacker corps, but one likely scenario has Stewart Bradley moving into the middle, meaning Omar Gaither would slide into the weak side role vacated by Spikes.
Please, Mister Jones, pick this guy up. He's a hitter. And, even though it's insane, go ahead and sign Pacman Jones. Write a clause in his contract that forces him to attend TD Jakes' church in Dallas. Have guest evangelists visit the workout rooms all Spring, Summer and Fall. Get him straightened out and let him intercept lots of NFC East opposing quarterbacks. And, one more thing: don't you dare trade Marion Barber.
Thank you. Let's win the Super Bowl next year.
