          The Eagles have signed wide receiver Alshon Jeffery to a four-year contract extension through the 2021 season, the team announced Saturday. The deal is worth $52 million, with $27 million in guarantees and $1 million per year in incentives,

                        no, because it's not a choke job...football is the ultimate team sport...everybody is bashing Cody Parker but what about the Bears CB who got burned and gave up that game winning 4th down TD pass to Golden Tate on the Eagles final drive?...what about the penalties, turnovers, mistakes, missed assignments, bad tackling, miscues, etc. and other nuances that happen during the game which stalls drives and forces the team to punt instead of scoring potential points?...see my point?...but people always remember what they saw last and of'course its always easy to blame the kicker when all else fails.

                            If he goes home tonight, has trouble sleeping, and is sulking about it the next day, then I feel bad for him.

                            If he hits the club tonight, makes it rain, forgetting all about the game and letting down his teammates, then no, I don't feel bad.

                                    Average Federal workers costs $130,000/ year to employ

                                    If you make less than that then you should question why we employ 22,000,000 Federal workers and pay them 2xs what private sector earns on average if we deem portions of the Federal government non neccessary.

                                    Doesn't make sense...

                                        Wrong

                                        Which states have the highest average federal salary and which states have the lowest? Here is a complete list.

                                              Last year played with separated shoulder which needed off season surgery

                                              reported played today with broken ribs.

                                              Think philly is fine

                                                Need to put it in perspective , it's entertainment even with gambling on it .
                                                Feeling bad / sorry is seeing a 2-3 year old with terminal cancer , some disease they had absolutely no input in yet deal with it daily knowing the outcome isn't going to be a good one .
                                                I've never felt bad / sorry for an athlete , but I do every young person I see who's life is already determined yet fight like hell everyday to make it just one more day longer .

                                                        Not the salary, but the benefits and retirement in addition

                                                          I feel bad for the guys who can't forget it or let it go. When it defines what was an otherwise good/great career, I feel bad. Other than that, whatever.
