Drew-to-Boys Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm ...Sheridan's reference to us getting Tom Modrak a job arises from two dynamics. First, because we've mentioned the former Philly exec for several vacant G.M. jobs on several occasions in the four years since he was abruptly poop-canned by the Eagles, some folks believe we're in Modrak's back pocket. However, the fact that we routinely criticize Modrak's current boss and good friend, Bills G.M. Tom Donahoe, doesn't quite mesh with Sheridan's hypothesis, since criticizing Donahoe and the job he's done in Buffalo is a thin stone's throw from casting blame on Modrak. Second, the folks in Philly whose butts are the wax to Sheridan's nose-shaped wick still have a Woodrow for Modrak, and they all like to remind anyone who'll listen that Modrak really didn't have much to do with the construction of the NFC champs, that he didn't want to draft McNabb, that he didn't want to hire Andy Reid, that he didn't invent the cheesesteak, that the crack in the Liberty Bell wasn't his idea, etc. If anything, Sheridan's disparaging reference to Modrak confirms that the journalist and the team still have an all-too-cozy relationship, justifying our observation that Sheridan should be wearing a skirt and holding pom-poms in the press box.
