Saverio the moment (sorry)

In case you are unaware, the Eagles have a former Australian Rules football star on their roster. Sav Rocca played 15 season's down under, where gained a reputation as a "strong full-forward with a huge kick" whatever that means. He's competing with Dirk Johnson to be the eagles punter, and as hilarious as the name Dirk is, you gotta pull for the Aussie.

I'm trying to think of something funny to write, but all I can think of is "throw another shrimp on the barbie." Too bad he's not Austrian.

Sav did instantly endear himself to Iggles fans everywhere with his performance in the first preseason game. Boomed one 65 yards, got cheap shotted on the return and bounced right up with a goofy-insane grin. He's the video -- I especially enjoy the exuberant rantings of Ike Reese. I really hope they put him in the radio booth with Merrill and Mike Quick.

I demand a post about Darren Daulton's appearance on Daily News Live the other day. He actually used the word "astrotravel." Plus, he claimed that he can communicate with animals and that the world will end in 2012. You could title the post something like "Daulton advises Phillies to back load players' contracts." Hilarious.

Check out this video. While it is no Eagles highlight, it does have some similarities with the above comment about nutjob Daulton.
