Twitter has been freaking out about recent images that have surfaced of Washington Redskins Defensive back LaRon Landry.  Now I always knew that Landry was a very muscular guy, but this is just ridiculous. I wonder how he will be able to catch anything that goes above his head? Can't imagine he can touch his hands above his head anymore with such massive arms.  Its a mystery as to what is in that jar he is holding, but if i were to take a wild guess, its not anything us mere mortals would want to ingest.  Landry, the former first round pick in 2007, now entering his 6th year in the NFL, played in only half of the Redskins game this year due to injury and has been quoted as saying he feels he will be 100% this upcoming season.  
But lets face it, all the muscles in the world can't help the Redskins.

The Eagles wrapped up their season with a 34-10 victory over the Washington Redskins. The Eagles finished 8-8, 5-1 in the NFC East and finished in second place in the division. LeSean McCoy did not play due to an ankle injury. More here.

The New York Giants clinched the NFC East division title with a 31-14 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys played absolutely terrible on national television and, once again, the underachieving Cowboys will have their season end with expectation unmet. More here.

Sources are reporting that former Eagles defensive assistant and current Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo will be fired today by the Rams. Sources last week reported that the Eagles would express interest in bring Spagnuolo back to the Eagles as Defensive Coordinator. More here.

The Jets lost 19-17 to the Dolphins yesterday ended up 8-8 with a 3 game losing streak and missing the playoffs. Offensive captain Santonio Holmes reportedly quit on the team and was benched at the end of the game. After the game when asked if he would return to the Jets next season, Holmes walked away from the podium and ending his press conference. More here.

Heisman Trophy Winner Robert Griffin III reportedly will declare himself eligible for the NFL Draft in April. Griffin III already graduated with his bachelor's degree. Griffin III is currently the second rated QB behind Stanford's Andrew Luck. More here.

The last place Eagles take on the first place Washington Redskins this afternoon at FedEx Field in Landover, MD. Yes, you read that correctly. The LAST place Eagles and FIRST place Redskins will clash today. The Eagles enter on a four game losing streak while the Redskins enter the game coming off their bye week. The Eagles sit at 1-4 and the Redskins at 3-1.

After the last week’s sloppy loss to Buffalo, a lot of people have given up on the Eagles this season and are looking towards a high pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. I will say it now that the Eagles season is not over and their playoff hopes are not dead and buried. The Eagles are 2 ½ games back in the evenly spread NFC East. The division is not out of reach for the Eagles and one of the Wild Card spots is up for grabs (I say one of the Wild Card spots because the Packers or Lions will get one of them- they both started 5-0). The Eagles are 12-0 following the bye week under Andy Reid. Who do they have after the bye week this year? The Dallas Cowboys come to town for a Sunday Night Football showdown on NBC on October 30th.

If the Eagles get a win today, they will head to the bye week with a 2-4 record and a 1-1 record in the division. They are a notoriously hot team after bye week and through November and into December. The Eagles are not out of it but, if they lose today, they dug themselves a big hole.

As for today’s game, the Eagles have some injuries they have to deal with. Jason Peters is out but so is his replacement, King Dunlap. The Eagles will shift Todd Herremans from right tackle to left tackle and Winston Justice will make his season debut at right tackle. Yikes. Trent Cole is also out with a calf injury for the second straight week. Tired of Jarrad Page? So are the Eagles. Page is inactive today and Kurt Coleman will get the start at safety, along with 2010 second round pick, Nate Allen.

For the Redskins, running back Tim Hightower, tight end Chris Cooley, and defensive back DeAngelo Hall are all active today but are banged up. The Redskins are without defensive back Phillip Buchanon and fullback Mike Sellers among others.

The Eagles have never played against Rex Grossman whereas the last time Mike Vick was at FedEx Field was that incredible Monday night game in which the Eagles exploded for 28 points in the first quarter. The Eagles went on to win 59-28. We shall see what happens this afternoon.

Kickoff is set for 1:00pm in Landover.
