So, yesterday, about 30 minutes after Rosenthal puts up a post saying the Eagles are not re-signing any of their UFA's, Florio puts up a post announcing the signing of Noel Devine.

Included in the post was a snippet saying it was a strange decision, as he'd be joining a crowded backfield with the likes of McCoy and Jerome Harrison.

So, to have a little fun, I went to the comments section and quoted what Florio just said, and linked to Rosenthal's post, and wrote "PFT on PFT crime!"

Because Florio has fun pointing out ESPN on ESPN crime whenever there are conflicting reports from ESPN reporters.

20 minutes later, I go back to check the responses. My comment was deleted, and the article was re-written, like this:

UPDATE: A prior version of this article indicated that Jerome Harrison also is on the Eagles’ depth chart at running back. That was an error. It was silly for me to rely on the Eagles’ official online roster as being, you know, accurate.

I'm bringing this up today because he still hasn't gotten over it, and still is blaming the Eagle's website depth chart for his lack of reading his own site....

Eagles website offers Rodgers-Cromartie jerseys

Dozens of you have alerted us to something on the Eagles’ website that could be interpreted as indicating that a deal that would send quarterback Kevin Kolb to the Cardinals for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is done.

The Eagles are selling Rodgers-Cromartie jerseys on their website.

It’s not a front-page thing. Instead, the name appears under the “Select a Player” option when purchasing an authentic jersey.

We’re skeptical on this one, for a couple of reasons.

First, we’ve seen this kind of thing before. The folks who run the web operations usually don’t know what’s going on. Our guess is that someone assumed, based on the rampant media reports, that Rodgers-Cromartie will be joining the team.

Second, it’s not as if the Eagles’ website generally conveys the impression that the right hand has an inkling as to what the left hand is doing. The official roster, for example, still includes the team’s 2011 unrestricted free agents, even though the Eagles have said that none of them will be back. Hell, even safety Quintin Mikell, who has agreed to terms with the Rams, still appears on the roster page.

So while the deal may still happen, the ability to purchase a Rodgers-Cromartie jersey probably doesn’t represent some advance plan by the front office to be ready for the crush (eye roll) of orders that would be placed for the item.

UPDATE: And, of course, the Eagles already have removed the Rodgers-Cromartie jersey option. Mikell remains on the official roster.

Hey Florio....

What a dick!

First off, so what if the Eagels want to sign Noel Devine to a contract?

The rosters can be 90 players. So sign a good college player. Jesus, it is hardly worth commenting on something like that.

I'm just disappointed he felt the need to delete my comment and then blame the whole thing on the Eagle's website.

I figured he'd take the ribbing in stride and post an update saying "Whoops! Should have read what Rosenthal posted"

Well at least he's not accusing QBs of punching cancer patients this time

This one?

SECOND UPDATE: The guy who runs CrossingBroad.com claims to have discovered it, and apparently wants credit. So here it is. All we know is that we got over 50 e-mails about it, and we’re in no position in the middle of the free-agency frenzy to figure out who spotted it first. Or to care.
