Friday Links

- good job by the birds passing the looming darwin walker holdout to the bills. not only do we get to avoid having to read stories about how he's demaning a new contract, we're getting to read stories about how a once (and hopefully future) stud LB is fired up to make an impact.

- not sure why i am always so intrigued by the oddballs and misfits (e.g. nate ilaoa), but i'm genuinely interested to see how saverio rocca is going to do in the nfl. no matter what happens, at least i finally can put to rest my question about why the eagles never unearth one of these great aussie rules punters.

- interesting breakdown by iggles blog of QB performance by age bracket and how don stacks up against recent HOF QBs

scrapplelog will be continue to be intermittent through may at least. i'll be out of the country for the next two weeks.
