Wound up giving tickets to the guy who lost his job for expressing frustration about losing a player who'd been a legacy with the team... Eagles look foolish here..

Even though his classiness was swept away the instant he signed with the Broncos, props to Dawkins for this charitable move :clap:

Despite playing for Philthadelphia and his careless helmet launches, I have always appreciated Dawkins as a player and a leader. Playing with that much passion and leading by example.

When Dawkins left, I think I might've stopped liking the Eagles. They were among my favourite teams for a decade and I was heartbroken when they lost the NFC Final. Now, with absolutely no one left out of the great secondary they had (Taylor, Vincent, Dawkins, Moore), and a bunch of other guys gone, it's not the same team.

Those comments below the story are always stupid, but they've reached a new level. When someone said "Now Dawkins won't have a good QB to throw him the ball", I thought it was clever. Then a bunch of people called the guy an idiot because Dawkins plays defence. :lol: :nonono:

Good gesture on his part, sure.
