Eagles Eye spans the globe for dog day news...

Written by Thomas Jackson on .

Thanks to all the fine correspondents who filled in this past week with some great original material. Not only do I appreciate the good work you put in, but I feel like I got to know you even better as a person and a friend.

We still have some reports from around the globe coming in. And I think Blas has something planned for us on Sunday. Stay tuned...

JB99 sent in this little report on one of his Texas neighbors... seems melon farmer Dale Flukinger has found a way to perk up lagging sales by bringing in some .50-gauge marketing strategy---and putting it up on YouTube:

melonsalesmarketing

Yeah!!!  I'll go buy my melons from Dale!  (you can see the video on YouTube.com---that arrow link up there doesn't really work...)

Speaking of marketing, the Eagles just signed Anthony "Tiger" Jones (5-11, 190, WR out of Louisville) who is a 30-year old receiver currently on the Philadelphia Soul roster. Jones has been hanging on to his pro football dream since the days he played for coach Bobby Petrino at Louisville. Here's a case where it's just good cross-marketing by both the Soul and the Eagles to give Tiger Jones a shot at the NFL.  The Arena Football League gets a jolt of good publicity out of this. Suddenly Tiger Jones becomes a lot of Eagles fans' favorite long shot to make the final roster. Maybe it becomes a Chad Hall vs. Tiger Jones competition? Whatever the case, someone in Andy's office thought Jones is worth a look-see. But it mainly bodes well for the marketing of both the Soul and the Eagles to share their customer lists from time to time. I sense a new spirit of cooperation between the two football franchises. There may be some kind of affiliation brewing. Keep an Eye on that...

Tiger Jones catches a break...no matter how the tryout with the Eagles turns out, Jones gets a chance to pad his football resume...which at age 30 is important to a future coaching and teaching career if he wants...

You know Phil Nunn as "Kent Phil 67", our terrific Eagles fan from Kent, England who chimes in on a regular basis here. Phil and his family recently dug up some old photos and proceeded to digitize them.  Among them were two shots of Phil sporting a vintage '70's style Eagles cap while he strolled around the countryside and the stadiums of his English world.
Bear with me for a short break, and I'll attempt to load those photos of Phil in this space.

There!  GET IN!  Thanks, Phil... On a hot Philly weekend, your photos make me very happy for some reason. I don't know why ...

For Spiffy--Mathis had very good year in 2012. Might prove to be best signing in the long run.

 

Not fair to ask me to diss the Giants. After all how much can be wrong on a team who won the SB? I can say they're lucky, but that wouldn't play in Weehawkin(sp)--and sounds too much like sour grapes. Let's just say Coughlin sucks!

Yo Loopy,

You are over indulging in Kool Aide. All QBs have issues with dropped passes, not just your homer sweetheart--- Vick. To use such nonsense as a prop for Vick is to be outside the realm of reality. This is a serious fault of Eagle fans on this site--especially. They look for any bazaar reason to manipulate  their player's abilities even at the risk of inanity--or make excuses--or over rate them. It amounts to  group fantasy instead of reasoning-- so to speak!

 

Example: after a loss, the silly remarks such as:  "if he didn't drop that pass"---" if the official didn't rob us"-- "we got a bad spot"--all blatant homer stupidity.

 

Yup! All fans of all teams are stupid that way, but the Eagle fans in general, and the posters here specifically , bring that sort of  BS to the neurotic  level.

 

Sheesh, Loopy, hire a group therapist, already.

 

So let it be written.

 

Remember: a prophet is not recognized in his home town.

Nothing for Sale - I have Nothing for Sale.......

 

Thankfully - Training Camp is a short time off - 3 Weeks? I've seen some debates on here last that long.

 

Mr KentPhil .. this may be Old News but it sounds like the Patriots owner wants an NFL Team on your side of the pond.

Cool.

Is NFL football really that popular over there?

Trying to 'educate' myself a little about the Phils (so I can go up there and fix em)>>

 

Who the H*ll is giving out those multi-tens of million $ contracts to guys like that Papilbon (Spelling)?

 

They say he's done OK this year but it seems like the Phils have given an awful lot to a pitiful few ????

 

Makes me think of that old Softball team "King and His Court", only 3 0r 4 guys on the team............................
