Opening your mouth makes you look worse, Andy Reid

Why would Spags take an unknown position when Nola offered him a real job with a big boy title? Reid is caring in one way but ultimately it was disrespectful the way he voiced this to the media. Besides that, his logic is poor. Two guys at the same position or close to the same position? Probably not a good idea. It shows the lack of understanding of personalities that got the eagles in trouble in the first place with a team that lacks chemistry. Good luck in 2012, Eagles fans! You’ll need it!

yeah, I bet Spags wanted no part of that "muddy" situation

It did sound kinda condescending.

This isn't about rules, it's about manners. Now there's no rule that says that I cant come over here and fart on your entree. But I don't do it. Why? Because it's not good manners.

brain AVM? anyone know what that is?

Reid said defensive tackle Mike Patterson is "doing very well" following surgery last Friday for a brain AVM.

Its basically a tangle in the blood vessels around the brain.

Patterson was in the news earlier in the season when he had a seizure on the field during training camp. I’m a little shocked he played the season before having something like that taken care of. I’m far from a reliable information source on the subject, but I would think blood flow to your brain would be a top priority.
