Was watching Sportscenter and they talked about the Westbrook release, and then said Westbrook was joining them on the show to discuss the situation.

Scott Van Pelt (my favorite anchor) started the interview with the supposed Westbrook on the line, and asked if it felt personal.

The guy started talking about how he loved the city of Philadelphia, and when I heard his voice I knew immediately it wasn't B.W. Sounded like some cornball computer nerd... He talked for a few seconds and ended with something like "I'm looking forward to worshiping at the prostate of Howard Stern."

Or something like that... SVP immediately said something like "that's where we're going huh?"

The fake BW started talking again and was cut off immediately. SVP laughed and there was an awkward silence there for a minute. It was hilarious. Who the f**k screens their calls b/c they need to be fired. I hate that it happened to SVP b/c I think other than Stuart Scott he's the most legit at his job there.

Man, I hope someone DVR'd it and can post it.

That guy is going to be a living legend to his friends... I'm sure ESPN is looking at legal options due to being made into jackasses for letting him on the air lol...

The call itself wasn't funny, but the fact he got through to get on air somehow is ridiculous. If you've ever heard BW talk, you knew it wasn't him as soon as he started talking.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
