Maximus Jean-Gilles, Weekend Extras

Another day at Lehigh, another scrap involving Max Jean-Gilles. In front of a crowd of 19,000 Birds fans, MJG mixed it up with LaJaun Ramsey, just a day after coming to facemasks and earhole slaps with Trent Cole. It's practice, it's nothing; it's just amplified because of all the cameras and the gallery of fans that now surround training camp. Salud to those fans who have made it up there so far. Gotta let those boys know we are unwavering in our expectations.

Some Extras for your Saturday:

• Chris Mottram tackles a football topic we've all faced at one time or another: The too-football-friendly girlfriend. (w/ pic of that stupid white trash ho, F**K DA EAGLES Heather) [Mr. Irrelevant]
• The Ladies... respond. Natch. Hilarious. Best quote: "This is totally wrong and sexist of me, but when I meet a guy who isn’t into at least one major sport I’m kind of like, 'Really? What’s wrong with you?' It’s terrible." [Ladies...]
• The way hockey should be blogged about in July. The Scrappers turn their leering gaze upon the Flyers Ice Girls. [Our Book of Scrap]
• Depressed Fan has a report from Lehigh, with a nice set of photos for your viewing pleasure. [Depressed Fan]
• Five years just for some gambling?! Hopefully Rick Tocchet doesn't share the same fate as his co-defendant. [Inquirer]
• You've probably seen this, but it's worth watching again. Knocked him out of his shoes like Ray Brauer. [youtube/espn]

I find it interesting to compare Dave "I kiss the man's ass" Spadaro's and Garry Cobb's opinions on Reggie Brown.

Spadaro is quoted in his column in saying "Reggie Brown made some of the deadliest moves working against cornerback Sheldon Brown that I have ever seen on Friday morning. Then Brown came back with a terrific catch in the afternoon, and is taking the right steps this summer."

Cobb in his blog on his website stated "If Reggie Brown is supposed to be a number one he's surely not playing like one. Don't get me wrong he's making some plays but the number one is supposed to shine above the rest. Brown doesn't have those extras turbos to separate himself from the competition so he has to work harder for it. This is going to have to be a group where everybody is contributing."

So who are we supposed to believe? I'm gonna go with GCobb who has actually set foot on a football field and is not on the payroll for PhiladelphiaEagles.com.

Either way, I am excited to hear how great Kevin Curtis looks so far. And Dirk Johnson vs. Sav Rocca is quickly becoming my favorite camp battle. Rocca reminds me of former Giants punter Rodney Williams. That guy could kill the ball sometimes for 60+ yards, but then shank his next three kicks. It'll be fun to watch.

I could put some deadly moves on Sheldon Brown. As beefed up as our linebacker core is, the cornerbacks still scare the shit out of me.

On a different note, I don't know why, but everytime i see that guy crumble like a ton of bricks thrown out a 4 story window it gets better and better.
