On Eddie...

While ESPN has indicated that Eddie Pope may retire at the end of the season, I'd like to see confirmation. So far the story doesn't seem to be getting wide play, the way, say, Cobi Jones retirement announcement did. If true, I'm sad to see him go, and certainly encourage a United send-off of some sort. Still, I'm not quite sure this story is meant to come out yet. I'll wait for a formal announcement.

Not that your memory needs refreshing, but if it did, here's a link to Dave Lifton's excellent article on all Eddie Pope gave to us.
