Because cold is nothing bad. NO high humidity IS bad. ;)

And it is weird to see a Norvegian speak like that.

[DaBear89]

yea but Philly outside, freezing, with those fans (no offense but u guys are crazy) or all nice and cozy inside a dome thats in a city that hosts a week long party?

[Sveen]

What do I know anyway? I live in sourthern Norway. It's not as bad as people think (not like Minnesota), but it ain't Florida either ;) The summer is nice though with about 80-95 degrees usually.

The phone was busy for Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel, with the Eagles making the early calls and winning the first visit. Samuel is hoping to get a five-year, $50 million or six-year, $62 million contract.

[Finsfan79]

[Sveen]

Haha. I think he wants to atleast be on a team which will have a winning record ;)

[bsaza2358]

610 WIP, the major Philly radio station, is reporting that the Eagles have signed Samuel. Terms not yet disclosed.

[Sveen]

I hope they are wrong.

[SaintsFanForLife]

Yea i really was thinking we were a lock for him.. I also hope that report is wrong.......If it's right we better sign Florence ASAP

[Sveen]

Oh yes. We have to get a good CB in Free Agency. I was really hoping we could get Samuel, but Florence ain't bad either.

[bsaza2358]

Yeah, the Saints needed to make some moves. Maybe they could take a chance on Pacman. HA!!!

[SaintsFanForLife]

No thanks on Pacman..LMAO

[Sveen]

Please. No Pacman :(

[SaintsMan]

I knew the Saints wouldn't go after a big name fa.

PER PFT

EAGLES CONFIRM SAMUEL VISIT

The Philadelphia Eagles have announced that cornerback Asante Samuel will visit the team on Friday. He will be made available to the media at 4:30 p.m. EST.

Meanwhile, there are rumors that Samuel's deal is done, and that he'll sign it after he passes a physical.

Stay tuned. Until the contract is signed, someone else can step to the plate with more money, and Samuel can choose to take it.

Come on Saints. Make it happen :)

I suspect one of those quoted pieces is true, that Samuel's "visit" to Philly is to pass a physical and then sign a new deal. We'll see.

[Flyboy]

YES!!!!

Keep Samuel out of NO. Whoo!
