Eagles’ wide receiver Todd Pinkston will miss the entire 2005 season due to injury. (Read the Phila. Inquirer story.) I don’t think he’ll be missed at all.

For 2004, Pinkston’s stats looked like this:

Number of receptions: 36
Receiving yards: 676
Average yards per catch: 18.8
Longest reception: 80 yards
Number of touchdowns: 1

Yes, you read that correctly. One freakin’ touchdown. That’s one more touchdown than I had, and I didn’t even play! And I assume you all remember Pinkston’s wimping out on catching a pass against the Redskins back in December (here’s a USA Today story to refresh your memory). These lame stats and overall weak performance lead me to believe that Pinkston won’t be missed. Not at all. Have a nice recovery!

Today (August 7) is my 35th birthday. Happy Birthday to me! I think the most interesting fact about this day is that it is considered to be the midpoint of summer (check out WikiPedia for more interesting stuff about August 7). In case you’re wondering what I did for my birthday: I slept in, made pancakes and bacon for brunch for me and my girlfriend, walked aimlessly around the streets of Philly for a little while, and that’s about it. Pretty much an ideal day.
