<< My wife and I are having serious discussions about selling the farm in the future; I am hoping to hold out another 5 years because I love these kids my wife and I are working with...sharing a lifetimes worth of knowledge is very satisfying to me; we have a great bunch of kids working around here. I find as I age I absolutely enjoy watching the youngsters enjoy riding....enough of that.>.> you and your wife are two-thumbs up good people:) Like that Vick has taken a strong stand to support Cooper, who, more than Vick, a man deserves a 2nd chance. We have no evidence this a deep seated racism with Cooper, he couldn't have been a teamate that long with the black players not suspecting. i say how can we end racism if we don't do a wake up those prehudice that doesn't run deep--we aren't talking KKK with Cooper. Hell i had to ENDURE a father that used the "N" word all the time(just like his father did)--but he contradicted his use of that word in his every action in life. He was a color-line blockbuster when fhe sold his home in littly white one acre homes in Devon to a black family--and took a lot of flack for it. But my mother, bless her, i will NEVER forget that in 1950(i was 9) while we were visiting relatives in Charleston South Carolina(This was segregrated 1950 South Carolina--it was the Old South, to the maximum)) and she saying to me when will people realize "Black Is Beautiful" She said that to me in 1950!!! It lit up my mind!. Well one of the low risk with potential huge reward deals Kelly made this winter will get tested as Benn is now in Cooper's place while Cooper is gone. Kelly said Cooper will not be released, period. But it is Lesean McCoy Cooper need convince--it really really hurt McCoy, for as he said "i LOST A FRIEND today, you never know" Great to hear from you Mike. Later,Max

Today's readers poll on Eagles--question "What are is the greatest weakness on the Eagles--i joined the 84.5% that voted "The Secondary'. And given the once class A-1 Kenny Phillips( Another career finished from failure to recover from severe knee injury, after 2 years of trying--Eagles had hoped he would start--but found he is finished and released him) Curtis Martin has broken hand and they released Whitley today--he also broke his hand.Brandon Hughes (broken foot?) Mike they are down to Boykin/ Williams/ Allen/ Fletcher/Chung/Wolf and a prayer--they perform and stay healthy or it will be disaster back there/again--(Wolf was cause for 69 yard run by Todman--took a disastrous angle--but totally green) Now the biggest problem get both Polk and Brown to learn to HOLD the damned ball--Brown's killer fumble was all his fault-you don't run with ball in one hand and out from body!!! unless your hand is is metallic claw the is squeezing the ball(VBG:) Plus Kelly has got to get Vick to dump a pass out of bounds after a certain count--he took 2 sacks because he held and held the ball too damn long. Matter of learning to hold the ball correctly with Bryce Brown is critical, as otherwise he has IMMENSE talent. We can't be patent that he came to the team as virtually a HS player in experience(Was the #1 rank HS back in the country). i trust Kelly to just get on his back until he gets it right. One need rip out the wiring in a players head, that created and embedded bad habit. i bet Kelly feels good about Foles being in the wings, if Vick goes down.(They better NOT trade Foles---but i fear they might get desperate, and trade him for a vet A-1 DB) The poll What is the Eagles’ biggest weakness? The coaching 21 (2.4%) The linebackers 73 (8.3%) The offensive line 13 (1.5%) The quarterbacks 28 (3.2%) The secondary 740 (84.6%) Total votes = 875 Read more at philly.com p.s. trade of Felix Jones might be a nice sleeper trade. Pittsburgh was DESPERATE for an RB and traded an undrafted rookie LB that was "tearing up the field" during preseason''Eagles, points for scouting other teams pre-season action.What's his name "Arian Robinson"--makes team/ least as practice squad. Eagles will be following releases of DBs and a make a waivers claim post haste if someone they like shows up. Later, Max
