Lito Sheppard

Jase Patrizio , one of my best friends and an Eagles fanatic, was kind enough to preview the Eagles for me. Health is such a commodity in the NFL today. If your playmakers can’t avoid injury it obviously changes the shape of your team’s season. Last year for the Philadephia Eagles there were injuries to many key players.

So what will happen with Lito now? I was convinced ... Read Full Story
