MORE ON SPIKES
People around the league aren't sure Takeo Spikes ever will make it back from the torn Achilles tendon suffered in 2005. One personnel man said it would take a "miraculous recovery" for him to be the player he was. Even at less than he once was, he's probably better than what the Eagles had at linebacker.
What's interesting in this is that Spikes and defensive tackle Mon tae Reagor, the Eagles' other addi tion on defense, are the exact kinds of players they used to avoid at all costs -- over 30 and coming off in juries.
MEN OF TROY
Trenton native and five-time Pro Bowl player Troy Vincent is shopping around for a new team for his 16th NFL season. Look for Seattle, Cleveland and the Giants to be among his choices.
TRADE TALK
Now that the Randy Moss ru mors have died down (for now), the latest Green Bay trade talk has the Packers sending the 16th pick in the draft to San Diego for the 30th pick and running back Michael "The Burner" Turner. Stay tuned.
ALL ALONE
It's now official. I'm the only person in America (not named Theisman) who actually liked Joe Theisman.
