After a fair amount of fiddling with the design of the site, including-but-not-limited-to fooling around with the fonts, graphics and ads, I think it’s safe to say that BountyBowl is now officially in beta.

That’s right. Beta. BETA.

This just means that the design part of the setup is pretty complete. I’m sure I’ll fiddle with it a bit more, but I think this is pretty much what the site will look like for the next couple months (as a general rule: expect more ads, not fewer ads).

I think the beta thing goes well with the fact that we are now four (4) days away from the start of training camp. The goal is to have our “official” launch on Friday, to coincide with training camp. We’re currently “on track” for said launch.

Go Birds. More soon.

Cue up the Kenny Loggins and log on to philadelphiaeagles.com for some hot bare-chested Iggles action! Dunavin and the boys are in Arizona for their pre-camp bonding slumber party at Chez McNabb. Looks like the recently released Cheerleader Calendar may have some competition, though we can all be thankful that the video stopped short of a beach volleyball montage.

[Also, can I say things like “Wow, Donovan looked strong and it seemed like he was planting on that right leg just fine”?]

I’m gonna take a shower.

I guess Buddy Ryan would start a new blog about the Eagles.  Either that, or he’d put a bounty on my head and call me a sissy; later he would attempt to punch me in the face on the sideline. 

Welcome to my new Eagles blog.  I have this other blog where I used to write about the Eagles sometimes.  And by “sometimes” I mean “fairly frequently.”  And by “fairly frequently” I mean “most weeks during the season along with a couple posts on semi-interesting offseason topics.” 

Said posts tended to be mind-bendingly boring for the people who visited said blog looking for information about me, a topic which, in all honesty, I’m not terribly interested in sharing on the Electric Internet.  But the Eagles?  The Electric Internet isn’t yet vast enough for my musings on the Eagles.  Through the miracles of RSS, I’m reasonably confident that I consume ~85 percent of the Eagles-related content on the Electric Internet.  I wish that was a joke.  It’s not.  The Eagles are my favorite content brand, and I enjoy the consumption thereof.  I read all the articles in the various Philly papers.  I watch all the videos on the Eagles site.  I even [staring at ground in shame] listen to WIP over the web.

Yeah, it’s that bad.  But hey, everybody’s gotta have a hobby.  The Birds are my hobby.  And now I’m going to spin my hobby into a little Electric Internet Project.  Thus, bountybowl.com. 

My goal is to post something most days, even if it’s just a link to something I’ve read or watched with some commentary.  I don’t have the time or bandwidth for many exhaustive posts, but I’ve got an ingenious plan: I’ll make it up in volume.  One-liners are just fine.  Links to videos are just fine.  Silly pictures are fine too.  I just want to keep it fresh and frequent.

So that’s the plan. 

Oh right, and I almost forgot:

THE EAGLES ARE GOING TO WIN THE SUPERBOWL.
