* What's up with tackle Lane Johnson suddenly not speaking to the media after yesterday's practice? He sulked and stalked out of the Nova Care Center, curtly telling the waiting reporters that he may not speak to them 'for the rest of my career." And he refused to give an explanation why he has suddenly turned into an ass.
This team, on the doorstep of the playoffs, doesn't need a locker room distraction. Johnson was the same guy who stupidly got suspended for 10 games last season for drug use. So he's not exactly the brightest bulb in the pack. Hopefully he's got a legitimate reason for acting like an immature child. Maybe the Eagles' PR department will speak to him before his pouting turns into a real issue.
* A decision needs to be made soon on the status of corner back Sidney Jones. If he is healthy and ready to play, why not activate him? It would mean cutting another player, but is this secondary so good that the team can hold pat?
Jones is a second round pick who very well could've been the best corner in the draft if he wasn't hurt. If he can play, maybe that's the unexpected shot-in-the-arm this defense needs.
Expect another icy cold day Sunday afternoon at the Linc. The forecast is for a bitterly cold, blustery day. It's the Cowboys, so I expect a jam-packed Linc. Lots of alcohol will be consumed both before, during and after the game ( it is New Year's Eve).

The Sixers play in Portland tonight vs. the Trail Blazers. Will be interesting to see if Joel Embiid plays, after his performance on Christmas Day in New York.

It seems like forever since the Flyers have played a game. They do a back-to-back trip to Florida, starting tonight, playing the Panthers and Lightening. Great time to hit Florida with the arctic blast hitting home. The Orange and Black then come home for a four-game stand, starting on Tuesday January 2 against the Penguins.
