Bradford to Vikings

Should be a very interesting season for the EAGLES. They really liked McLeod Bethel-Thompson and had to make room for him. A bold move.

McLeod John Baltazar Bethel-Thompson is the grandson of the 1948 Olympic shot put champion Wilbur 'Moose' Thompson.

The Lovable Admirable Eagles received the Vikings #1-pick in 2017 and #4-pick in 2018 in exchange for a disgruntled starting QB. So Mr. Bethel-Thompson should be expendable next year.

DonDiego expects great things from the Eagles around 2020, . . . or later.

*****EDITED TO ADD*****
The deadline for getting the team down to 53 players is 4:00PM EDT, 3 September, . . . TODAY !

*****EDITED TO ADD*****
ESPN's Adam Caplan reports Mr. Bethel-Thompson will be waived today.

Just 2 weeks ago I bough the biggest selling NFL jersey at the local flea market. Wentz 11. My wife was surprised no one wanted Bradford's jersey. She doesn't understand, she's not an EAGLES fan.

Will the Eagles win 6 games this year?

DonDiego is old school, . . . usually wears a Ron Jaworski #7, Randall Cunningham #12, or Reggie White #92 jersey.
He also has a Mike Mamula #59 jersey his Mother gave him many years ago. Mr. Mamula scored a 49 on the NFL's Wonderlic Test, the highest ever for a defensive player.

CBS Sports has already provided the analysis by sportsline.com :

i. The Minnesota prediction of wins with Shaun Hill at OB was 7.5. Assuming Hill plays the first two weeks followed by Sam Bradford the rest of the season the prediction is 8.6 wins.

ii. Sportsline had predicted 7.5 wins for Philadelphia with Sam Bradford. Assuming Chase Daniels plays 7 games followed by the introduction of Carson Wentz the prediction is 7.0 wins.

Poor old DonDiego supposes no NFC East team is gonna be outstanding this year, so anybody can win the Division. It looks like a no-bet situation on season-wins for all NFC East teams.

I don't think Bradford can stay healthy for 14 games.

M B-T cut. So sad. I thought he had potential.

Parkey cut
Gause cut

Sanchez cut by the Broncos and picked up immediately by the Cowboys. Jeff Fisher announced that Goff will be his No. 3 quarterback. I think I have to agree with him. The guy who was third on the charts brought the Rams back in two games and looked good. If Goff wasn't the first pick in the first round, and if he didn't have the big signing bonus, I think the Rams would have considered cutting him.

When I wear an Eagles jersey, I wear my #60 Chuck Bednarik, who IMHO is the greatest Philadelphia Eagle player ever.
