Demolition

On September 29th, the Eagles signed linebacker Jeremiah Trotter for the third time.

Now 32 years old, has he lost a step? Is this a brilliant move that strengthens an already stellar defense? Will he only be used as a 12th weapon/decoy for an alternate Wildcat offensive "look"? I don't know. The Eagles, famously, don't bother to sign old players who can't perform regardless of whether they've been around forever, are loved by the fans or are Philadelphia legends. So, it's probably an improvement. The real point though, is that I don't care. It's great just to have someone on the team who's a recognizable face. The Eagles change faces so often, they should be called the Philadelphia Joan Rivers'es'es (An actual expansion team coming in 2012 which will vanquish its opponents by repeated references to menopause).
