Eagles Parker arrested for pot.

the hits just keep coming for the already weakened philly D. at this rate, there wont be anyone to play come september.

I'll never understand the appeal of drugs.

Yeah, this should get at least 4-8 games from the Commish. All 3 of our division rivals seem to attract criminals. I'm glad we don't have these kinds of problems.

Im thinking 4 games. What will be interesting is if the driver gets suspended or drug tested, which hell likely fail then suspended.

I'm guessing maybe a 2 game suspension

4 would be sweet!

The icing on the cake would have been..."The driver of the van, Head Coach Andy Reid's son..."

Wouldn't it be a story about a jailbreak if that was the title?

This is HUGE for the Eagles. They had another DE go down to injury. Abimiri i think his name is. Their Defense is starting to look vunerable.


I thought they were more vulnerable as soon as Jim Johnson was ruled out as DC. Losing Dawkins, the starting MLB and whoever else just adds to their problems.

Depends which son you're talking about

I'm guessing maybe a 2 game suspension

I say 4-8. :)

But...there's precedent:

Son or Sons?

I heard on Sirius, that the current speculation is that he will not be suspended, just enter the drug program. Don't know if there is any truth to that.
