Ellis Hobbs to the Eagles...

This has to be the worst ****ing trade ever.

Ok, as much and the high school thing ****ed me off, the ISU connection is good. I enjoy watching Ellis, and now that he is not on the Pats, I am smiling big time

If you truly are an Ellis fan, this is a GREAT trade for you. The Eagles are constantly sending CB's to the Pro Bowl. i.e. Bobby Taylor, Troy Vincent, Sheldon Brown, Lito Shepard, and now his former Patriot teammate Assante Samuel. Jim Johnson has an outstanding defense that really features the secondary, and I think that Hobbs could really excel in it. I hope he can live up to the expectations that have been set for that position in Philly...

I thought it was a good pick for both teams. Ellis is in his last year of his contract and the Patriots weren't going to sign him after the season. They got 2 picks for him which is better than getting nothing right? Ellis gets out of New England where a bunch of people were blaming him for the Super Bowl loss 2 years ago, he gets the chance to maybe put up good numbers playing as the 3rd cb in a very good defense in Philly.

He said "the up and coming Iowa State University" his rookie year. He switched to his high school after Mac was fired.

This now makes sense. I can why he changed from us to saying high school if he saw the program get rid the coach who recruited him and is the reason he is playing in the NFL, and had success and took us to bowl games for a high profile bust of a coach who drove the program into the ground. If I were him I would do the same thing.

Yeah and I think that had mac been fired for deserving reasons he'd have understood but doing it the way that pollard did it most likely ticked him off
