Eagles Make Desparate Attempt To Save Season

111306magician.jpg
Tuesday, the Eagles learned that Mike Bartrum, the team's long-snapper since 2000, was done for the season with a possibly career-ending neck injury he suffered against the Colts Sunday night. (Apparently getting your neck crashed into several times a game for 13 seasons isn't the best thing.)

The Eagles signed a replacement yesterday in Jon Dorenbos, who played parts of two seasons with the Bills and a half-season with the Titans.

Dorenbos' job while he was out of the NFL? A professional magician, of course! Yes, the Eagles -- mired at 5-6 after starting 4-1 -- have turned to a magician to help turn their season around.

Hey, if Dorenbos can pull a rabbit out of a hat or make a deck of cards disappear, I'm sure he can help the Eagles defense learn to tackle again. We can hope, at last.
