At about the six-minute mark, Jeffrey Lurie’s end-of-season news conference began to sound like the Patrick Willis Authentic Jersey best man’s toast at a soap-opera wedding. Lurie, the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, was expected Tuesday to deliver a lukewarm endorsement of Coach Andy Reid, acknowledging that he would return for a 14th season despite an 8-8 finish that fell miles short of expectations. Alex Smith Authentic Jersey Eventually, that is what Lurie did. But Lurie began with a 12-minute preamble, oscillating from anger to optimism and back again.It was N.F.L. Andy Lee Authentic Jersey ownership as performance art, a think-aloud therapy session in which Lurie used Kendall Hunter Authentic Jersey words like “unacceptable” and David Akers Authentic Jersey “dismal,” called this season “without question, the most disappointing season since I owned the team” and labeled the Eagles’ four-game winning streak to end the season “fool’s gold.”Lurie sounded like a man on the verge of dropping Frank Gore Authentic Jersey some bombshell. Was Reid fired? Would the whole front office be sacked? Was the bride really an evil twin with amnesia?Lurie eventually reached the carrot at the end of his stick, sparing Reid for Andre Johnson Authentic Jersey another season. Minutes earlier, on the other side of the continent, the Chargers’ owner, Dean Spanos, announced that both General Manager A. J. Smith and Coach Norv Turner would be back for the 2012 season, despite the Chargers’ 8-8 finish and a Brian Cushing Authentic Jersey perception among fans that the franchise is on the decline. Spanos’s message was more direct than Lurie’s — an interpretive dance could convey a message more directly than Lurie did — but his conclusion was more surprising, as observers were already penciling Smith into jobs elsewhere in the league. Score 2 points, Arian Foster Authentic Jersey and only 2 points, for the status quo.At the end of the N.F.L. regular season.
