If the Eagles sign Mark Chmura, it will be one of the most hypocritical acts in franchise history. Not when they have Pro Bowler Chad Lewis. One Boston College mistake a decade is plenty . . . Greg Schiano is a North Jersey homeboy who has come back to lead Rutgers out of the football wilderness. He told a sports banquet audience Sunday he intends to build a program capable of winning the Big East title and keeping top New Jersey prospects from leaving the state.
New Jersey is among the few states without a major college football program bearing the state name.
Rutgers still sounds like a painful injury to a personal body part to many people. When I'm King of the World . . . Major league baseball teams will be allowed to trade draft picks . . . Bud Selig has proposed a lot of creative changes to the amateur draft. The one that makes the most sense is bagging the outdated and stupid prohibition against trading draft picks.
