[BoysRule2]

You gotta be kidding me! Owens gets fined for basically acting cute, but Reid gets a pass for CONDONING such an act like this??!

"The thing he was doing was, he was trying hard to get to that spot and get there fast. He tried to make something happen," Reid said. "He ended up being late by a tick and you can't do that . . . at least he was trying to get there and hustle and be part of that play."

It really looked to me like he was more than just late. Plus the fact that his teammate even held JJ's head back just before he got there.

Did anybody really expect anything else from the Eagles on that play. It's typical of them. It was no accident they selected Buddy Ryan as some kind of captain/ambassador (whatever) for Cowboys game. I stil believe Ryan put out a bounty on Aikman back in 89.

I had a feeling he was gonna do the Eagle against them if he scored, it just seemed right lol.

I didn't know hits after the play was blown dead were classes as trying to make a play...that Eagles philosiphy is a strange one.

That's just not true. When you watch the game he wasn't late. He even came to a stop in his movement. But when he realized he had a chance for a sheap shot he took it.

But on th eother hand to me it's ok that Andy Reid tries to defend his players in public.

I'm still waiting for the height of the fine especially with TO getting fined for 10k.

What do you expect? He probably didnt even see the play..he was eating a big mac on the sidelines..

What he was really saying was... Yeah he was wrong... but no one else wanted to play.... Donovan sure didnt.

I think they fined him a game check, like 20G's or something to that effect.
