This is an absolutely brilliant sports radio move by 950 ESPN Philadelphia.  They taped an interview with Brian Dawkins with hosts Mac and Mayes today (Tuesday) and they're not airing it until 10 am ET on Wednesday morning.  They're teasing it all throughout today with snippets from the interview.

Mr. Smith Goes to Houston

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

One of the more underrated moves in this free agency period was the Houston Texans bagging former Cardinals defensive end Antonio Smith, who played at a dominant level as the Cards drove their way to the Super Bowl. Smith was regarded as an above-average defender before, but it is amazing ...

Three reserve quarterbacks have been in the news of late -- and with all the talk about this Albert Haynesworth deal or that Matt Cassel trade, it's depth that makes your championship football teams. Like Cassel and Tom Brady, new Patriots #2 quarterback Kevin O'Connell began his NFL life as an ...
