Oh, like football Eagles. I read the post and was like "is Julian Vandervelde a random hired gun guitar player type who goes on tour with them now that they're all old and shit or something?"

In the The Big Lebowski of life, I am forever Donny, out of his element.

That is an excellent tweet.

Heh, Tanner Hawkinson is a believable replacement guitarist name too.

If Vandervelde were to come to AskMetafilter for advice on his relationship with the Eagles he would get nothing but a string of DTMFA advice and admonishments that he was letting his partner treat him like a doormat for always going back no matter how many times he's been dumped.

For context, NFL practice squad players make a league minimum of $6,600 per week. I'd be willing to hang out for that. If you can stay on the practice squad for the full season it's a cool $112,000. And then you'd have 9 months off to do as you please.

Not bad work if you can get it.

I don't care a whit about the NFL or football in general, but I just gotta say, this guy has a great face!

This can't go without mentioning that Sam Bradford gave a rallying speech in the team showers before the last Eagles game. It was, by all accounts, zestful.

Flagged for lack of water-spraying soap. Damn, that was Irish Spring too, #soapwhittling...

He has a real problem on his hands here.

Also, this marks the sixth time Vandervelde has been signed or cut by the Eagles in the last two months, not counting practice squad sign/cuts.
