The San Francisco 49ers may have won the game Monday night against the Arizona Cardinals, but they lost something a lot more valuable. Specifically, Frank Gore left the game with a fracture hip. While nothing is official yet, we don’t see how he could avoid landing on injured reserve. “49ers will further evaluate Frank Gore [...]
On Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, the Philadelphia Eagles were unlucky enough to have two of their main players, Stewart Bradley and Kevin Kolb, leave the game with concussions. Concussions are obviously bad news because they are the injuries that could most affect a player’s quality of life down the road. With all the [...]
This is just yet another reason why people on ESPN outside of Adam Schefter can’t be trusted. John Clayton said a couple days ago that we should all expect to see former Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook sign with the St. Louis Rams. Great point, John! That report was so great that Westbrook actually just [...]
Earlier today, word came that former Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook was set to join the St. Louis Rams on Monday. Mike Sando of ESPN.com said that he had gotten word from John Clayton that this would be the case. “Just landed in STL and finished radio with John Clayton, who says the Rams will [...]
The Washington Redskins seem to think that Super Bowls are won by signing a ton of cooked RB’s. We can’t really blame them, since they’ve won Super Bowls with the likes of Timmy Smith and George Rogers. Smith wasn’t cooked, but he was never really even prepped for the frying pan. He wasn’t passed his [...]
Despite 610 WIP’s radio personality Howard Eskin reporting in January that Brian Westbrook might be forced to retire because of his ailing left knee, the former Pro-Bowler passed a physical with the St Louis Rams over the weekend. When healthy, the former Eagles running back is very productive. During his eight-year career with Philadelphia he [...]
The Green Bay Packers have a nice running back in Ryan Grant, but after that? Not much. Former second-round pick Brandon Jackson doesn’t really offer much, so it’s not a complete shock that the Packers would have some interest in former Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook. Well, two sources tell the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that the [...]
It’s well known that Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook had some pretty serious concussion issues last year and that the league is cracking down guys playing with that injury. But what about his other health problems? Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post is hearing that Westbrook is going to struggle to pass a physical [...]
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said recently that he would definitely be interested in soon-to-be former Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook and not-yet-officially-released WR Terrell Owens. We don’t necessarily see a fit for Westbrook, so he could just be talking in an attempt to get someone else to pay more than they otherwise would [...]
Former Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (he technically is still on the team) went on ESPN Radio 97.5 FM in Philly this morning and was asked about the team. Former Eagle Vai Sikahema asked him specifically about who should be starting at QB. “Just from playing with Donovan and I played with Donovan for eight [...]
Seen this yet? Thanks to Kordell for tipping us off. This is great. Anytime someone can make ESPN look stupid we are all in favor of it. It seems that Phildelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook called into SportsCenter the other night. Or did he?
Jeff McClain of the Philadelphia Inquirer tweets that the Philadelphia Eagles have released RB Brian Westbrook. Westbrook was owed $7.25 million this season, and there is just no way the Eagles are going to pay that for a declining RB with concussion, knee and ankle issues. This leaves LeSean McCoy as the main guy in [...]
Washington Redskins DB Byron Westbrook, the younger brother of Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook, was arrested at 2 AM Friday morning on suspicion of DUI. Westbrook was pulled over by the deputy after he observed his car changing lanes several times. When he pulled him over, the officer smelled booze, Westbrook failed several sobriety tests, [...]
In an interview with Dan Rather of HDNet, Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook says that he isn’t looking to hang up his cleats just yet. Westbrook will make $7.25 million next season and many have speculated that he will retire or is at least facing his release from the team. “I’m a hundred percent sure [...]
Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb spoke to NFL.com after the NFC’s Pro Bowl practice on Wednesday. He thinks all the talk of Brian Westbrook retiring is nonsense. “He looks forward to getting back,” McNabb said. “All the talk people are saying on retirement or whatever it may be, it’s all false.” McNabb was then asked [...]
Philadelphia Eagles star running back Brian Westbrook may have to retire because of his troublesome left knee, 610 WIP radio host Howard Eskin reports. If the Eagles decide to bring him back next season he will be due $7.5 million and this is highly unlikely, especially with the emergence of rookie LeSean McCoy. Furthermore, [...]
Two league sources tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Brian Westbrook will be a no go Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. This obviously means that LeSean McCoy will start and the Cowboys will probably get a larger dose of Leonard Weaver. Westbrook was medically cleared to play this week, but clearly Andy Reid doesn’t want [...]
Brian Seltzer is reporting that Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook has been medically cleared to play and will be on the practice field on Wednesday. This news indicates that Westbrook will most likely be good to go this weekend, barring any setbacks, when the Eagles face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in a game [...]
Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook is not expected to suit up today against the New York Giants, as per Adam Shefter’s tweet. Westbrook suffered a concussion this past Monday Night when he took a knee to the head in the Eagles win over the Washington Redskins. If this news is confirmed, rookie LeSean McCoy [...]
