		<description><![CDATA[melonhead - Did Weaver say they didn&#039;t leave a message?  No.  He admitted as much in his barely coherent response.

He&#039;s just salty.  I get that.  But other than calling him to let him know, what else do you expect them to do?  Take him to Six Flags?  If Weaver didn&#039;t see this coming then he is a box of rocks.  He missed all of last season, knew he wouldn&#039;t be able to play this season, and his injury is one where there&#039;s a very good chance he will never play again.  He should have been expecting this LONG ago.  And if he was delirious about the outcome, his agent should have been smart enough to get him ready for this eventuality.  

And for him to say how much he sacrificed for the Birds....he played ONE season for the Birds, and was rewarded with a $12 million dollar contract.  I&#039;d say they did right by him, regardless of the fact that he didn&#039;t get to earn the full 12 mil - the man still got 7.5 mil out of that contract, and only ever played part of ONE game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Weaver was a great guy.   And that injury was tough to watch.

But I think this is overplayed.  They called, he wasn&#039;t there, and they left a message.  Meanwhile, the media gets hold of the news.  

He&#039;s bummed that he&#039;s being released, and emotions run high in those moments.  

But could the Birds have kept the news from the media until they got hold of him?  Trust me...it&#039;s not the easiest thing in the world to do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Eagles brass isn&#039;t exactly the warm and fuzzy type, but Weaver is manufacturing this story.

First he says that the Eagles never even contacted him, but rather it was Derrick Gun from Comcast Sportsnet.  Then when the Eagles refute his claim, he admits that they left a message for him.  Unless you actually answer your phone, its rather difficult to discuss the situation with you.

I always liked Weaver and I am sorry to see him go, but there are times where the man has diahrrea of the mouth.  Now would be one of those times.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t see the problem here. They called, he didn&#039;t answer, they left a message. It is not like they didn&#039;t attempt to tell him like Weaver implied when he initially made his comments. In these days with twitter and other forms of social media word spreads fast. How is it the fault of the Eagles that media got wind of the situation before Weaver checked his messages? I read Les Bowen tweet last night that the Eagles should have just kept Weaver and the situation would have been avoided altogether. I don&#039;t see why they would do. Why would you keep paying a guy who will never play again if you don&#039;t have to? It is not like he was a fixture in Philadelphia. He played one season and was rewarded with a boat load of  guaranteed money.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leonard Weaver (FB) got into the NFL as an un-drafted free agent out of tiny Div II school Carson-Newman.

He went on to have a great 2009 season, worked his tail off and made his first pro bowl. 
 The following off-season he finally cashed with a three-year contract worth $11 million and $6.5 million guaranteed. 

But in the very first game of the 2010 season, Weaver suffered a very ugly and devastating knee injury that cost him not only that entire season, but possibly his career.


All around great-football-player and great guy.


Karma will work for you . . .

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately Weaver will never play football again. His knee injury was horrific and had nerve damage so severe that he still doesn&#039;t have full range of motion in his foot and is not expected to for another 8 months. He can be salty about being cut but he got a 1 million dollar check out the door so whatever. I am a little disappointed he misinterpreted the facts in his initial whining about being cut. When he stated nobody from the organization told him, that apparently wasn&#039;t true. A message was left, I&#039;m not sure what he expected.]]></description>

Enough with the stupid cliches. This &quot;game&quot; was not a &quot;war&quot;.

		<description><![CDATA[This is what drives me crazy.... If the skins would have done this all hell would break loose.  The same goes with the cowturds with Roy Williams and the draft picks they gave up to get him.  I know Dan Snyder brought alot of this on himself but this just goes to show that ALL team owners are basically the same and really do not care about players if they are to old or cost to much.
