Deadspin
Remember Freddie Mitchell? The Eagles wide receiver who was just like Terrell Owens except that he, you know, wasn't actually very good (but still loved loved loved to talk, famously saying he to "thank [his] hands" for getting him where he is)? The one who so infuriated Patriots coach Bill Belichick that he called Mitchell "terrible," that he "loved when Freddie was in the game" and insisted reporters quote him on it? Anyway, he was run off the Eagles and found no feelers from any other NFL team.
Well, he might have found his place now: The Philadelphia Soul, the Arena League team owned by Jon Bon Jovi and run by Ron Jaworski, are looking to sign Mitchell, who might find that he has no other options.
Personally, we think that Jaworski leaked this story to the Philadelphia Inquirer simply to humilate Mitchell, who is unlikely to sign, if just because he'd have to play defense. But we love the idea anyway; it's rare that one of the jerks gets his comeuppance, so it would be nice to see. Couldn't happen to a better fellow.

He could have saved the Soul money by Fred-Ex-ing himself to away games.
Wouldn't it be a hoot if good ole 4th and 26 took Jaws up on his offer and then got cut? That humiliation might be enough to drive him back onto the Taradise tour. I have a better chance of getting open in an American Idol waiting room than Freddie does on a football field.
I think Jaws needs to "out" a lot of athletes and their BS... he should leak info a lot more often, anonymously.
Rather than trying to be clever or not-profane, I'll just say this: I can't stand that jackass.
As an Iggles fan and Philly expat living in NYC I know just how brutal this is. You cannot comprehend the gut-punch this is to Freddie. If he comes back to the arena league he better live and hangout in Jersey because he will catch crap everywhere. The sermon in his church will be about what an a-hole Freddie is.
"I'd like to thank my hands, for being able to operate a deep-fryer."
Ummm...Freddie's got bigger problems. He readily admits that Urkel is his best friend and that he hangs out with Mario Lopez... http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/team/teamRosterDetails.j...
