Let us now bow our heads and speak in hushed tones over the departure of one of this city’s most lackluster free-agent signings in sports history. Jevon Kearse, whose services as a pass-rushing force have been caked with rust ever since he stepped foot in Philly four years ago, has finally been mercifully relieved of his duties.

All of those suckers who plopped down their hard-earned dollars for a $40 Kearse jersey at Modell’s soon after he was handed $20 million in 2004 should be relieved about the change in wardrobe. For a more pointed, critical door-hit-ass take on the Kearse release, we turn our attention to the always feisty and opinionated Ciara Todd, who still can’t stop smiling since hearing the news:

I used to like Jevon Kearse. Hell, I even had his Titans jersey as a kid. But when I cut it up to make a pillow, I think I hit him with some really bad karma. Dude was the definition of an overhyped bust. While he made more appearances in rap videos than on the field, Kearse epitomized what happens when bad stuff happens to otherwise good people. Were we to know that injuries would derail his career? No. But what we do know is that this release is a year too late. Many people will claim that keeping Kearse on our team hindered the organization in free agency, but in reality, it taught us a lesson: There are only so many chances we can give one player in this city, especially when we know, in our hearts, that we’re wrong. T.O. only had one, we gave Kearse four. Oh well, it is what it is. Now, I turn my attention to bringing bad karma to Takeo Spikes.

In even better news … Javon Walker anybody?
