Eagles Camp
SI's Peter King logged his training camp notes on Friday. Nice piece, as usual: King has a terrific ear for what the fans want to hear. King isn't a difficult writer, a statement that I say in praise of him: he communicates with the readers simply and effortlessly, with a real conversational tone. He's one of the better writers in sports.
Anyway, King makes some interesting points: L.J. Smith will be better but the Eagles like to spread the ball and won't commit just to him with Lewis still healthy, Sheldon Brown and Lito Shepard are still big question marks, and T.O. is happy ... really, he is. (It was mildly disturbing to hear that T.O. appeared bugged by the fans booing him for dropping a pass in practice. Hey, T.O.: this is a tough town.)
MVP for Donovan? Lots of positive talk...
