Say Hello To Leonard Weaver's Replacement

Get well soon Church Van. Hello Runaway Beer Truck!

Leonard Weaver Does Not Take Kindly To Some Criticisms

Leonard Weaver has always been one of the Eagles more mundane Tweeters. Want to know all about Leonard Weaver's tuna hoagie he ate for lunch? Follow him on Twitter and he will tell you. Want to know about the man who cuts Church Van's hair? He is more than willing to talk about his barber on Twitter. But when someone tweeted at him and criticized his post-season performance, it more than irked the normally mild-mannered Eagles fullback. All phillygm711 tweeted to Leonard Weaver was the following: "no more kissing your butt. You guys were ugly out there yesterday on offense. That performance in unacceptable on Sept. 12!" That sparked this reaction from Church Van. (screen shot from Weaver's Twitter account)

The performance was not exactly a startling one by the Eagles and @phillygm711 does have a right to criticize the performance as such. Nothing he said was over any reasonable boundaries, just what he saw last night. It is true that the Eagles did win the game, but the 1st team offense was at times dreadful to look at. That being said, Leonard Weaver does take criticism like that to heart and hopefully it can somehow motivate him and he can pass the message down to the rest of the 1st team offense (especially the offensive line; as the root of all the Eagles offensive problems lies in the piss poor protection by an offensive line so bad that most high school teams could out perform them), then it is all for the best, right?

On a mostly non-related topic, I think I might have to check myself in a psychological clinic. I have ESP. Those that took my advice to heart are filthy rich now.....provided you changed "game-ending" to "touchdown with 23 seconds left in the game."

2 Little Girls Do What Dez Bryant Can't Do And Stewart Bradley Cares About The Important Things In Life

The top picture is a picture of 2 young girls doing to Eagles long-snapper Jon Dorenbos what Cowboys rookie WR refused to do to Cowboys veteran WR Roy Williams and that is carry his pads.  2 young girls > Dez Bryant. (Hat tip to Bleeding Green Nation)

The bottom picture is LB Stewart Bradley tweeting about today's important headline; Lindsay Lohan's release from prison.  In defense of Bradley, he has a minor hamstring injury and tweeted this between practices; but outside of that, I don't know what to say about the Eagles' stud middle linebacker tweeting about Lindsay Lohan.  I really don't.  I'd expect a tweet like that from Leonard Weaver, who tweets just about every mundane detail in his life (I love knowing when Church Van gets a hair cut from Brent the Barber!).  Not from  Stewart Bradley.

Leonard Weaver Can Sing

This video may be 3 weeks old, but for some reason, Leonard Weaver just drew attention to it now on his Twitter account today. If you want to know more about Leonard Weaver, such as what he is eating for dinner on a partuclar night or when he stops at Wawa to pick up a tuna hoagie, you can follow Leonard Weaver on Twitter, though it should be known as Church Van's Personal Diary Of His Miscellaneous Daily Activities.

Leonard Weaver Given The Largest Contract Ever To A Fullback

I LOVE YOU ANDY REID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leonard Weaver is coming back to the Eagles, baby!!! Oh yeah!

Adam Caplan has the contract details.

Eagles and Leonard Weaver reached 3-year, $11 million deal, $6.5 million guaranteed source said. Beats Greg Jones' deal 2 years ago.

It's the largest contract ever given to a fullback and it is a damn well deserved one and one of the smartest things the Eagles could do this off-season. They know that he was awesome for them last year with his one year deal and they will look for him to continue to be awesome for the next three years.

What Weaver brings is a guy who can run the ball real effectively, especially in short-yardage situations, catch passes, and get nice yards after the catch. The presence of a guy like him was something that the Eagles never had before. Seriously? Even I, a diehard fan who has pretty much watched almost every game of the Andy Reid era, have problems of thinking of our fullback names before Weaver. That's not a testament to my memory, but rather how useless and invisible all other Eagle fullbacks were before Weaver. Granted, Weaver is not a fullback in the traditional sense of the term. I'd consider him a little more of a RB/FB hybrid than a pure FB, but his unorthodoxness is part of what makes him an all-around great football player and quite frankly, the largest contract ever given to a fullback still seems like chunk change in comparison to how much a player and a leader like him is actually worth.
