06:23 AM ET 07.27 | Joe Banner, the team president, the guy who is mainly responsible for directing the front office in assembling the roster the head coach wants, had a long, exhausting off-season. Two player trades, nearly two dozen contracts to negotiate and execute, some hard decisions on having to move past players, particularly Brian Dawkins, who had meant a lot to the franchise. "I feel this year we have the best roster in the league," Banner said. "That's assuming everyone is healthy and standing at the end. You can only make a statement like that on the first day of training camp. After that, anything can happen."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAH Jesus Christ I live near Philly and please listen to me Joe is nothing but a MONEY GUY he LUVS money & know nothing about football. He goes on the local 610 ( suk up stattion ) and all he talks about is the cap, how much cash they have money this money that blah blah. So I called in when he was on a few months back & asked him one simple question "Joe all I hear you talk about is numbers but I have one question for you & the only number all the Eagles fan want to hear, how many superbowl trophies do the Eagles have?" He replied back to me: "We're working on that" I snapped back before I was cut off "You've been working on that for 10 yrs" there was no reply. After my call another caller made my same point but he was cut off as well. Banner is a joke..

Can't they do something about this picture? Like put cheerleaders in the background, and then remove the guy in the foreground? Maybe Photoshop in some boogers? Or lots of zits?

Yeah, I'll agree on the bad hair, but this is a pretty tough picture to make fun of, don't you think?

Last year it was the Cowboys...good luck with that.

"We have the best roster AND the ugliest team president!"

July 27, 2009  07:37 AM ET

Wow... doesn't Joe have a spokesman he could put out there instead?

July 27, 2009  07:38 AM ET

OMG MY EYES MY EYES!

He looks like the Nazi's did when their faces are melted from looking at the Arc of the Covenant.

Hopefully Indiana Jones comes and puts him out of his misery.

He looks like he's spent the last 40 years thinking about money.
