BUNKLEY BUST NEWS TO EAGLES
Profootballtalk.com has caught wind of strong rumors in Philly that unsigned Eagles first-round draft pick Brodrick Bunkley has been arrested for having a loaded handgun on the dashboard of his car.
The arrest, which per the rumors was made by the Delaware River Port Authority on one of the bridges connecting Pennsylvania to New Jersey, happened at least a week ago. An effort was made to get the charges dropped quietly, but prosecutors (we're told) have refused to do so.
Meanwhile, early word out of the Eagles organization is that they haven't heard of any arrest. In response, our source for the rumor says that official news of the charges won't break until Friday.
Bunkley was the fourteenth overall pick in the 2006 draft. He currently is unsigned even though the team opened camp earlier this week. The major sticking point reportedly has been the length of the deal -- the team wants six years, and Bunkley's agent, Gary Wichard, will agree only to a five-year term.

Wow...I wonder how this is going to affect the Eagles team "chemistry"?
Phonetic-Talon...any ideas on how this will affect the Eagles? Or, should the rest of the NFC just "better watch out"?

That is no suprise...I'm not talking about the arrest but that the Eagles organization knew nothing about it.
The Eagles don't know, don't care or don't wanna know about bad news.
Trying to hide your problems by sweeping it under the rug or by keeping it in house did not work last year and it won't work this year either.
Andy! Andy! Damage control mode!

Did they compare the gun to the bullets fired at Davis?
On second thought, if the Eagles were going to put a hit out on any Cowboy I would think Davis would be near the bottom of the list.

He's arrested up close to the Philly area, the contract negotiations arent going well and the Eagles organization didnt know about it? Sure.....
They knew about it and now that all the camps have started and the kid still isnt in camp with them they probably saw it as time to get tough with him and leaked the info. Harder for the kid to hold out for a "fair" deal when public opinion will be the kid is lucky to get anything at all, same kinda thing will happen to Santonio Holmes when he signs.

True, they usually go after wimpy little foreign kickers. In fact they have been known to put a bounty out on them.

You guys act like YOU don't carry loaded guns in your car.

ive said it several times, i wouldve never drafted any player in the 1st round with a name like BUNKley
If I lived in Philadelphia I'd have a loaded gun in my vehicle too. Philly is a rough place.
Philly has its share of violence, but let me tell you, when people get shot and get in trouble 9 times out of 10 its because they are engaging in risky behavior or they have been hanging with someone dangerous.
People just dont walk down the street and decide, hey i think i'll shoot that stranger just because. I have worked in 2 of the roughest parts of the city for a while now, i have had people walk by me and tell me "watch yourself out here" and say things like "your out of your element, you sure your not lost". If you keep your mouth shut and mind your own business, you'll be ok.
But when you hang out with someone whose always arguing and slandering and fighting a group of homeys from some area, you might get shot, guilty by association - someone might decide to make an example out of you. or if you get involved in some drug dealings or try to get over on someone your putting yourself at risk.
The problem is everyone wants to prove how "bad arse" they are. Your in a questionable area and someone gives you some crap, don't turn around and start up with them, just walk away. But young guys cant do that, 15 yr old kid was shot right across the street from a house i'm rehabbing, why ? He got in a fight and beat some guy up, later the guy and his frineds are rolling down the street, the kid is hanging on the corner - walks out and says c'mon i'll kick your butt again and approaches, they pull out a pistol and shoot him in the head, and just keep walking. But why is that 15 year old kid out there trying to be the tough guy of the neighborhood, why is he looking for trouble. Sure, they say he was a good kid and loved by everyone on his block, But he was known for being a fighter and thats what got him in trouble.

I spent two years in Philly, in West Philly at the time (1988-1990). I never owned a gun when I was there or got even a whiff near any kind of fight. I enjoyed it a great deal. Great restaurants, great transportation, good people, history everywhere you looked and turned, and a better downtown than almost any Southern city I've seen (Savannah and New Orleans perhaps being the only exceptions).
Philadelphia is a big patchwork quilt, though. One block is great, the next block over isn't worth walking through.

As cities go, I hate to say, Philly kicks the tar out of Dallas.
I'd trade Dallas's weather for Philly's in an instant, though. I can handle dry heat and Southern heat better than the 100.5% humidity of Philadelphia summers and the slush of Philadelphia winters.
I've never lived in Dallas proper. I did live in Fort Worth for a while. I was a teen, working in a grain elevator on a graveyard shift, and going home, getting cleaned up, and driving into Dallas to spend my money. There was a gaming shop on the Northwest end of town I favored. They sold GDW games, and I liked those a lot.
For shopping, Dallas is fine.

If I had to choose a favorite spot, it would be Reading Terminal. The Amish, the used books, the food.
But if you were like me, who had folks spread across Texas, but especially in places like Granbury and Cleburne, leaving Philadelphia to head out to Lancaster County, to see the Amish and those homes..they do look a lot like the old places in Granbury and Cleburne.
For what it's worth, "Witness" is one of my favorite movies, in part because of the thoroughly authentic views of 30th Street Station. "John Book" didn't hurt either ;).
