"Last month, Dan Leone was fired from his part-time job with the Philadelphia Eagles (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Eagles-fire-employee-for-calling-them-retarted-?urn=nfl,146801) after criticizing the team for letting veteran Brian Dawkins (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/3558/) leave via free agency.

Dawkins signed with the Denver Broncos (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/den/), who happen to be playing in Philly this season. Since each visiting player gets two tickets to away games, the 35-year-old defensive back decided to give his allotment for the contest in Philadephia to Leone. Dawkins told the Philadelphia Daily News: (http://www.philly.com/dailynews/sports/20090403_Eagles_-_Former_Eagle_Dawkins_understands_loyalty_of_fans_ _difficulty_of_change.html)"

Very nice move by Dawkins.
It's a shame that he couldn't stay an Eagle his whole career.

This is why he's one of my favorite players of all time. He'll always be an Eagle to me.

I love this guy, he's got so much class and a lot of players in the league could learn a lot from him on how to act and carry yourself as a person. I know this is early but I really hope this guy gets into the HOF.

I also think it's pretty ****** that the Eagles would fire a guy for having a strong opinion about a move they made.

What is there to bash?

Dawkins is the man. Example 871,981,909 of why he's the man.

Once again, Dawk shows why he is one of the most respected players in the NFL. He truly cares for the fans and is one of the few athletes nowadays that combines a good ego, with good personality, smart decision-making, and just being an all-around nice guy. Just makes me miss him even more...

Dawkins is for sure a class act. I was shocked when Philly let him go.
