I happen to have a copy of that test right here.

1.) Do you swear to always worship Donovan McNabb, while he gets more money and accolades than he deserves while constantly choking and failing on the biggest stage?

2.) Will you take less money once you hit 30? Because we will try to lock you up on the cheap long term, and once you hit that age we just don't value you any more, even if you are still a good player.

3.) Are cheese steaks delicious?

[tyke1doe]

LOL, SuperPunk. :laugh2:

[5Stars]

What a stupid organization the Eagles are....! :laugh2:

They better start at the Top with that test!

T.O. is soooo in their tiny heads, it is funny as hell!! "Gold Standard" at work...

:star: :rolleyes:

[RW Hitman]

They seem to be releasing this test in parts because here is a few more:

4. Do you promise to stand and cheer with the great crowd of philly when an opponent gets injured?

5. Do you agree to submit a portion of your paycheck towards the purchase of duracell batteries for every philly fan in the stands?

6. Do you agree to study TO's every move, and report back to me?

[big dog cowboy]

Does this test apply to everyone? Starting at the top? I mean the VERY top?

[burmafrd]

They have plenty of charactors; just very few have CHARACTOR.

[lurkercowboy]

I think the TO thing will mess with the Eagles psyches for a looooong time.

[Crown Royal]

I think the TO thing will mess with the Eagles psyches for a looooong time.

I don't. I think that last year was an anomaly, and this year you will see the resurgance of a franchise that has been one of the best run teams in the NFL for 5-6 years now.

[dasander]

You know that its funny that the Eagles are expressing concerns about a player's character when this was the team that drafted Winston Justice in the 2nd round who fell out of the 1st round due to teams expressing concern about his character issues.

:iggles:and we signed the biggest headache in the league and gave a contract extension to a guy that gets shot in the *** every other year. Every team has it's share of idiots.

[SultanOfSix]

What Lurie needs is a character test for Eagle fans.

[lspain1]

I don't. I think that last year was an anomaly, and this year you will see the resurgance of a franchise that has been one of the best run teams in the NFL for 5-6 years now.

I agree. Their defense will improve this year and McNabb will be healthy. That sounds dangerous to me. They should not be discounted.

[CrazyCowboy]

They want study for it and fail.....

ok, so the players need to pass a character test to play in the only stadium that has a court on the premesis.

oh the bitter irony.

[kartr]

Exactly, it wasn't TO's fault that Corey Simon was let go with no decent replacement in hand or the poor play of Jevon Kearse or their recent draft busts or their lack of an every down back. Sounds like Mr. Lurie needs to look in the mirror first before calling out his players.

[5Stars]

I wonder why Phonetic-Talon has not responded in this thread? Could it be because he could not pass such a test? :rolleyes:

Normally, anything Eagles, and he jumps in with both guns blazing! Now, he sees to be out of bullets! :cool:

Typical....

:lmao:

[Phoenix-Talon]

The Eagles are reportedly not interested in acquiring Jerry Porter.

But they are Pursuing Ashley Lelie ...according to http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/15215809.htm

Here's some language ...

... reports that the Birds were involved with Denver in a possible trade for wide receiver Ashley Lelie. An Eagles source confirmed the Birds have talked to Denver about Lelie, but denied that anything was imminent. Eagles sources say there is no chance the Birds will trade for Oakland's Jerry Porter...

Wait ...there's more ...

4) If you make any attempt to talk to the press without our sanction, we'll have the right to take your bonus money and kick you off the team.

5) If you are kicked off the team for subsection 4 above, and write a book, we will have 45 percent royalties on any/all of the disrespectful language regarding our franchise.

6) Match all TD penalty fines levied by the NFL, to this franchise

[Thick 'N Hearty]

Here are a couple I found:

1. Will you promise to go after only those players who the head coach has announced a bounty for their prompt removal from the game via injury?

2. After leaving said organization, do you promise to work as Defensive Coordinator only to punch Offensive Coordinator of new team on the sideline?

[Phoenix-Talon]

What a stupid organization ....! They better start at the Top with that test!

That's sounds like sage Franchise CEO savvy!:rolleyes:

[Phoenix-Talon]

They seem to be releasing this test in parts because here is a few more ...

4. Do you promise to stand and cheer with the great crowd of philly when an opponent gets injured? Retrospective Specific Stipulations: Shouldn't matter if you are caught Up in the fervor of the game and are completely oblivious of an Injured player. Regardless of whether your are in the "nose-bleed" section of the stadium or not ...once that person next to you gets quiet, you must adhere to the silence code.

5. Do you agree to submit a portion of your paycheck towards the purchase of duracell batteries for every philly fan in the stands? Retrospective Specific Stipulations: Purportedly whether the ofrecast is calling for precipitation in the form of snow, or not.

6. Do you agree to study TO's every move, and report back to me? Specific Stipulations: Only during the games.

[Phoenix-Talon]

I'd Like to proctor the test!;)

What's an "ofrecast"? Is that something unique to Philthy? How come more cities don't have any of these "ofrecasts"? Could I get an "ofrecast"? How much would an "ofrecast" cost? Do "ofercasts" come in different colors? Do men and women like "ofrecasts", or are they just for kids? :rolleyes:

Thats not true. The Linc has no such thing.

that's pretty funny, right there.

Sssshhhh (silencing gesture) ...you didn't know, and I don't have my crayons with me to draw you a picture. But I'll do my best to explain this to you ...again anyway (speaking in a Mr. Rogers-like voice)!

Look carefully at the context (the flow of the sentence) and you may be able to determine that the word should have been "forecast." That's sometimes called a typographical error. We make typos (also affectionately called) and don't even remember we have. But I'll start reminding you of your since you're so interested in them. BTW ...in your quote ..."ofrecast"? ...the question mark should be within the closing quote.

You also spell the typo "ofrecast" two different ways (see your own comments above).

[Phoenix-Talon]

Thats not true. The Linc has no such thing.

Welcome to the Zone EagleAye. ;)

[5Stars]

But I'll start reminding you of your since you're so interested in them.

You will start? You do it all the time! How do you spell hypocrite?

That's why I did it to you! [SIC] boy!

:lmao:

Hey, EagleAye...

uhhhh, yes it does.


direct quote from my co-worker who does security at the Linc.

"yes, it's still in existence. Last year, I personally sent people there for underage drinking. There was talk of moving it off-site, but as of last year, it's still there."


believe me, that was the LEAST of the offenses!

yes, co-worker.

what...you think security guys survive off of 10 games a year?

:lmao:

[5Stars]

yes, co-worker.

He never thinks things through when he posts...but, what do you expect? Consider the source...he's an Eagle "fandom"....


:lmao2:

[REDVOLUTION]

A little character
Alot of character
Extra character
No character

none of the above have worked for them so far.... so why put emphasis on it............ although there are a few characters on the team
:D

[ddh33]

I've said it ever since this TO to Dallas thing looked like it would happen, but the major reason why I think TO will work better in Dallas is because of the differences between Jerry Jones and TO's previous owners.

[Phoenix-Talon]

yes, co-worker.

what...you think security guys survive off of 10 games a year?

No disrespect intended sir. You merely misinterpreted my meaning; perhaps I could have Been more upfront. I meant that you relied on "hear se" rather than first hand information about a court system within the confines of the Linc.

Has nothing to do with security guards, salary or anything like that.

I apologize if you still think otherwise.:o:

ummm, no, let me clear it up for you.

"hear se" is an opinion from some unknown ea-girls fan ON A COWBOYS CHAT BOARD that YOU are using as your credible source of information.

"fact" is what i get from my friend who actually works there.
