The Philadelphia Eagles have long been my favorite team. I think they’re too shrewd when it comes to signing free agents. The one time they stepped up it was for Terrell Owens. That’s like a guy waiting 55 years before finally deciding to get married and then his bride is Houston.

“Here’s a hilarious fudging of payroll by the Philadelphia Eagles accounting team. Apparently the Eagles paid running back Brian Westbrook his $3 million dollar signing bonus twice, and nobody in accounting noticed.”

The Eagles have filed a grievance to recover the money.
