Nick Fierro, of the Express-Times, reports according to a report on their Web site, PhiladelphiaEagles.com, the Eagles (http://www.kffl.com/team/29/nfl) will play the Oakland Raiders (http://www.kffl.com/team/28/nfl) in the Hall of Fame preseason game in Canton, Ohio, Aug. 6. The game comes a day after an enshrinement ceremony for former NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl) DE Reggie White (http://www.kffl.com/player/5887/nfl) and the other five inductees at the same site. To give themselves the same amount of time to prepare this season, they would need to begin full-squad workouts July 25. The Eagles (http://www.kffl.com/team/29/nfl) also are rumored to be headed to China next summer for a preseason game against the Denver Broncos (http://www.kffl.com/team/15/nfl).

I glad we arn't going to China!!!! A extra preseason game...the flight....starting earlier....no thanks. That Japan trip a few seasons ago was not that good.

The Eagles and those freedom hating Chinese commie bastards deserve each other.

Their mascot is an eagle and their thinking of going to a country filled with bird flu, the pun-filled headlines practically write themselves.

On this same topic, Does anyone know when the regular season schedule will be released? Isn't it usually a week before the draft or something like that?
