OT: Eagles cut Pinkston, Detmer

POSTED 11:48 a.m. EDT, August 30, 2006​

SAYONARA, STINKSTON​

Less than 24 hours after ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli posted a puff piece regarding "news" that the Philadelphia Eagles have given receiver Todd Pinkston and his agent Joel Segal permission to seek a trade, the Eagles have made the process far easier for Segal.​

By cutting Pinkston.​

On Wednesday morning, the Eagles released Pinkston and quarterback Koy Detmer. ​

The Eagles also have re-signed quarterback A.J. Feeley, who was traded two years ago to the Dolphins for a second-round draft pick. Feeley was recently released by the Chargers.​

The return of Feeley calls into question, in our view, the status of Jeff Garcia, who was signed in the offseason to be Donovan McNabb's primary backup.​

BUYER BEWARE ON PINKSTON

​

For anyone who might be interested in throwing a seventh-round draft pick (or maybe something slightly more valuable like a block of government cheese) to the Eagles for receiver Todd Pinkston, we highly recommend that you review this clip from YouTube of Stinkston displaying what Joey Sunshine aptly dubs "alligator body."

​

It's a play from an Eagles-Redskins game on ESPN's Sunday night football, and Pinkston while tracking down a long pass turns his shoulder to avoid a hit from safety Ryan Clark.

​

"Unbelievable!" exclaimed Theismann "You've heard of alligator arms, this is alligator body. Todd Pinkston has got a touchdown. . . . He does not wanna get hit. . . . This is a great way to lose your job as a receiver in the National Football League."

​

So as to that classic question posed by ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli as to whether Penner and Mac of WFNZ in Charlotte have "ever gone over the middle against an NFL secondary," the correct answer is "No . . . and neither has Todd Stinkston."​

Detmer is not, and never has been, an NFL QB IMHO.
