And The Winner For Most Nonsensical Quote Of The Year Goes To......Ian Kinsler!

Baseball players have had a strange habit of trash talking the Philadelphia Eagles this week. I have purposefully ignored the Mark Buehrle's hateful and ignorant comments for the obvious reasons, but Ian Kinsler's latest jab at the Eagles is just completely nonsensical. It's one thing to not like Vick, I get that (though I do not agree with it), but forgive me for not seeing the parallel between Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson of the Eagles and Michael Young of the Texas Rangers. Yes, Ian Kinsler actually tried to make this connection when speaking about Michael Young's current situation.

"This isn't DeSean Jackson or Michael Vick or Manny Ramirez," Kinsler said. "Michael Young is a professional. It would be completely out of his personality not to be here."
I hate to break it to you Ian, but DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick never held out of the Eagles' training camp or skipped practice because of their contract situation. Never. Not once this year. DeSean Jackson wants a new deal, but when it came time for Jackson to show up at training camp, he did just that and said nary a peep about his contract all year.

But bashing Eagles is currently trendy for baseball players right now. My prediction: Tomorrow Prince Fielder will say Shawn Andrews' weight was the reason the Eagles offensive line performed poorly down the stretch this season.
