What an incredible draft. The Eagles did an amazing job and they didn't even have to go get a veteran receiver. I assumed that Jeremy Maclin would be gone in the top ten, for us to get him at 19 is a thrill. I think he'll be a huge part of this offense for years to come. Getting McCoy in the 2nd round is a huge steal as well. He'll fit well into our two back offense and eventually he should be BWest's successor. We got Ellis Hobbs in a trade with the patriots, and he should compete for playing time depending on what happens with Sheldon Brown, as well as be an excellent kick returner. Cornelius Ingram wouldn't have been there in the 5th round for us at tight end if it wasn't for his injury, he should have an impact playing behind Celek. Mini camp starts this weekend.....GET THE JOB DONE FAT MAN.
Now onto the Yankees....WHAT THE FUCK WERE THOSE MOTHERFUCKING SHITHEADS DOING OUT THERE IN BOSTON. THEY MUST LIKE TO HURT ME, BECAUSE ONLY A TEAM FULL OF BASTARDS THAT LIKE HURTING PEOPLE WOULD GIVE UP A TWO RUN LEAD IN THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH WITH TWO OUTS, AND THEN GIVE UP A SIX RUN LEAD THE NEXT DAY, ONLY TO GO OUT IN THE LAST GAME OF THE SERIES AND NOT TRY AT ALL........Despite this, they've somehow managed to win two out of three in Detroit, and we're only three games out. Thank you Phil Hughes.

The NFL draft vs. Yankees Red Sox.
The torture I'm putting myself through in anticipation of the NFL draft is unbearable. I just want to know what's going to happen, and all these baseless reports that never fail to drive me crazy don't help. I would love for the Eagles to trade for a player like Boldin, Edwards, or Chad Johnson. Even if it means parting with a 1st round pick and a veteran like Omar Gaither or Reggie Brown. A solid 1st rounder could help the team right away, but why not get a guy like Boldin who can impact as much as any receiver in the game instantly. We haven't one a superbowl once in our entire existence, why not just go all in and see what happens. I hate to say it, but it nearly worked when we reached and grabed TO, who helped win us an NFC championship, and fall 3 points short of a super bowl. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, END THE TORTURE AND LET THE DRAFT HAPPEN.
The Yankees and Red Cocks play for the first time this season tomorrow. All I can say is I hate those Red Cock bums as much as I hate anything. I hope we eat them alive and stomp on their pretentious little Boston fans heads, piss on their urinal of a stadium, and shove 5 or 6 of our world series trophies up J.D Drew's ass. If I ever fuck up and have a son and he decides to rebel against me by becoming a red sox fan I will disown him only after telling him I thought I raised him well enough to realize Boston is full of snot nosed dipshits that get off on pretending Babe Ruth fucked them over for life even though the reality of it all is, GOD HATES THE RED SOX AND HE HATES BOSTON, SO GO BACK TO YOUR ART SCHOOLS WITH YOUR FADED OLD RED SOX HATS, EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT THE ACTUAL GAME OF BASEBALL, YOU STUPID FUCKING BUMS!!!!!!

New Yankee Stadium Debut.
Well, the Yankees open up the new stadium by splitting a four game series two wins a piece with the Cleveland Indians. Could have been better, certainly could have been worse. Not that it matters at this point in the season, but the bronx bombers are 7-6 and about two games out of first place. I'd say I'm pretty pleased. Obviously, I'm worried about Ching Ming Wang. He's gotten hit to death, to say the least, in each of the three contests he's pitched in. I suspect he's still not physically one hundred percent. Everyone else in the rotation looks great, especially Burnett, who is becoming one of my favorite players. I'm looking forward to that first Yankee, Red Sox game of the year.
I'm going to make some predictions. The team with the worst overall record this year will be the Washington Nationals. The let down of the year will be either the Tampa Bay Rays or the Philadelphia Phillies. And the surprise team will be the San Deigo Padres.
I'm estatic about the Eagles trading for all pro left tackle Jason Peters. It looks like we should have one of the best lines in football. With everyone on the line being 27 or under, two pro bowlers, the return of the big kid Shawn Andrews, and free agent pick up Stacy Andrews. I'm going to miss Tra Thomas and Big Jon Runyan, but they were both in their mid 30's and it was time. In my opinion, Jon Runyan was the greatest right tackle the franchise ever saw. The only downside of the trade is the improbablity of the birds going out and trading for Boldin. I think he'll either stay with the cards, or head to Baltimore. Edwards could become a Giant(vomit). I think Chad Johnson is a realistic option, and after some thought, I've decided I'd like to have him on the team. In my dream world, we would use our first round pick to take Moreno or Pettigrew, give our 2nd and Reggie Brown to the bengals for Chad Johnson, and then use our thousands of 5th round picks to play around with moving up in later rounds.
In other NFL news, I don't think taking a tackle would be a bad move for the lions, but I also think Stafford might be the real deal.
The NHL and NBA playoff's are exciting as always. My predictions? Boston takes the cup(sorry Detroit and Washington), and the Cavs role to a championship.

Welcome
Hey Everyone, this is Mopster101. Like a lot of people sports and the teams I root for are a big passion and something I look forward to experiencing. I've decided to start a little blog to talk about the ball clubs I go crazy for as well as anything else happening in the sports world I might find interesting.
I'm a die hard Eagles and Yankees fan. I also enjoy the Maryland Terps, Mount St. Mary's basketball team, and Detroit Red Wings hockey. Being from Maryland, I get lots of questions as to why I'm a fan of so many out of state teams. It's all because of my grandfather and the tradition and love he's passed down to us Breichner men. When he was in the Navy, he was stationed in Philadelphia for a few years and became an Eagles fan. He went to games at Franklin field when he could. Therefore my dad became an Eagle fan, while also developing a strange passion for the Detroit Lions(don't ask). My dad gave me a cheap eagles shirt when I was five, and by the time I was 9, I had taken my love for them a step farther, as I became obsessed with everything and they did. By the grace of God, I'm somehow able to watch every game they play. In my parents room, the tv gets a signal from a small PA town, and therefore I get "The Eagles network". They torture me, but I wouldn't be able to live without them.
As for being a yankees fan, something I get endless shit for. It's as simple as my grandfather grew up in a town with no real local baseball team, so he would read the papers and listen to games on the radio when he could, becoming a fan of Lou Gehring as a young boy. My Dad wanted to be Mickey Mantle as a kid, he also loved guys like Whitey Ford, Bill Martin. He lives and dies with the Yankees. I probably had a Yankee hat put on my head the second I was out of the womb. There weren't really any other options as a kid, I was born a yankee fan, never questioned it, never will, and I'm glad to be a part of the "evil empire".
Both these teams are a huge part a life and I look forward to discussing them on here. Don't get the wrong idea though, I'll be talking about other clubs. Just wanted to give some backround on where I'm coming from. I look forward to talking sports with the internet world.
