I know the baseball season is starting, and the NBA is wrapping up, but I have to mention some off season NFL action. In what has been one of the craziest off season's in recent memory, the Eagles finally made some noise with the additions of Kevin Curtis, and most recently Takeo Spikes. I absolutely love the Spikes pickup! This guy was an anchor for the Bengals and for the year he was healthy the Bills had one of the best defenses in the league. Once TKO went down, so did Buffalo's defense. This guy is a game changer on defense, and coupling him with Trotter, our stellar D Line, and secondary and this defense could be a top 3 defense in the league talent wise. The knock on him will be that he is older (31) and injury prone, which I can't deny, but if he can stay healthy along with the Freak and Co watch out! Trotter, Jones, and Spikes at the linebacker position will give us 2 legitimate run stoppers, and some big hitting as well. This could be one of those moves that could win 1 or 2 more games for us this year.
With my bracket busted, it's time to focus on baseball, next Monday we finally get to see what these Phillies and Nationals teams can do. I predict one wins 70 games, and one wins 87. Which one do you think is which?

Jones!?!?
Big Red has gotta have Gaither at the LB spot.
Jettison Jones and his hokey antics ASAP!
The Spikes get sounds good on paper, but I'm not sure I care who plays LB. And I'm really sure I don't care if we can stop the run. It would just be nice if whoever lines up on D could remain healthy throughout the season.
You gotta pull for 87 Phillies' wins which would put them in wild card contention yet again. 70 for the Nats... maybe a little high.
