Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Michael VickTwitter Mailbag, Game Day Edition. That felt good to write.

McManus vs. Kapadia: Projecting the 53-Man Roster

Philadelphia Eagles running back Bryce BrownA good effort by Sheil in his attempt to project the Eagles’ 53-man roster. Sadly, he is dead wrong.

In case you missed it, we’re squaring off against one another to see who can most accurately predict what the final roster will look like. We’ll do this each week leading up to the trim-downs. We haven’t yet settled on the stakes, but here is the leader in the clubhouse, courtesy of reader distantfires:

Winner and three friends get to pick the spot for a round of single malt whiskey paid for by loser (who’s welcome to attend at his own costs).

Not a whiskey man, but I’ll gladly pour a couple back at Kapadia’s expense. Might even let him take in the good times (but probably not).

Sheil’s picks are here. Now onto the real list:

Andy Reid: ‘I’m a Humble Man Standing Before You’

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy ReidA scene that none of us could have imagined, in the fourth day of a week none of us were prepared for.  Andy Reid stepping out of his black SUV and back onto the practice field, almost exactly 24 hours after the funeral services for his son, Garrett, began.

After a quiet and surreal walkthrough that lasted about a half-hour, Reid made his way over to the media tent and took to the podium.

“I’m a humble man standing before you. A very humble man,” he said. “I’m humble because of the outpouring, not only from the media but from our football team, from the fans, it was unbelievable. I’m not sure you ever think that many people care – not that you go in that direction – but it’s a very humbling feeling. And I know my son would feel the same way.”
