Carson Wentz

So tonight, a new era could be starting with the selection of Carson Wentz at the #2 overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in this year's NFL Draft.

I've always been afraid to buy the boys any jerseys of Philadelphia players, just because over the past few years, it doesn't seem like any of them are going to stick around. That might change now. We'll see.

RIP - Alan Rickman

I was upset to hear about the passing of one of my favorite actors, Alan Rickman. My boys know him as the ever serious Professor Severus Snape from the Harry Potter movies. Rickman played Snape as the no nonsense, no charisma, no emotion, straight-faced, monotone character that he was written to be by J.K. Rowling. I hate knowing that this is how my boys know Alan Rickman. Alan was filled with so much charisma in all his other roles, and I just want the boys to see that. Of course most of the movies he is in that I really like are rated “R,” so it will be awhile, but I will now certainly make it a point for the boys to see them, so that they can appreciate the actor that I have appreciated for the last 25 years.

On an unrelated note, another news item popped up today. Lets see how this one pans out.

Chip Kelly......FIRED!!!

Well after 3 seasons, 2 steps forward, an about 7 steps backwards, Chip Kelly has been fired as the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles

This was the first Eagle’s coach who the boys knew. He came in just under 3 years ago from the University of Oregon. It was an exciting hire at the time. He went 10-6 in both of his first two seasons, making the playoffs the first season. But things started to unravel as he got rid of players who didn’t buy into his system. However this team imploded half way through this last season, with no signs of improvement. Management had no choice but to give him the boot (even with one game left).
