Sav Rocca Makes the Team

It's now official, or as official as things get in a world where the Eagles post cuts on their website, then take it down, then pretend it didn't happen, then claim it wasn't a real list.

Here's the news for Sav Rocca from PhillyBurbs.com:

"I just got off the phone with Johnson, who confirmed that he got a call from head coach Andy Reid informing him that the Eagles are releasing him and keeping untested rookie Sav Rocca instead.

"'In my mind, they had their minds made up before that (Jets) game,' Johnson said. 'What did that game prove? If it came down to that game, I’d still be here. If it didn’t, they should have cut me last week, while two teams (Cards and Patriots) were still looking for punters.'"

Now I can't wait to see the first time a punt returner breaks the coverage and Sav gets a free shot at him.

I just read something REALLY funny on the Australian Football Association of North America website: www.afana.com/drupal/node/683

Its title (I kid you not) is "Sav Rocca Makes Steelers Squad"...now, don't worry...i did my best to inform them of this error. As a die-hard eagles fan for 32 years...and on my way to move to Australia...i sent this:

" Sav Rocca did not make the Pittsburgh STEELERS squad. He in fact made the Philadelphia Eagles squad. Please correct this error...two totally different teams in two different divisions at polar opposite ends of the fabulous state of Pennsylvania. Sav looks better in green and white (eagles) than he would look in black and gold (steelers). If you reported that someone made the West Coast Eagles squad and really they made it on the Freo Docker's team...wouldn't ya expect Dockers fans to be a wee bit sore about the mistake? Just trying to help you out folks."
