Reid to shake things up, will shave mustache


Philadelphia Eagles' head coach Andy Reid is feeling the pressure from fans and the media after his team dropped to 5-4 on the season following last Sunday's loss to the New York Giants.

The team's inability to run the ball and stop the run are becoming more evident each week. Playing in football's toughest division that likes to run the ball doesn't bode well for Eagles playoff chances. Changes have to be made.

"I'm shaving the mustache. Time's yours," announced Reid from the NovaCare complex in South Philadelphia.

Many feel this is a desperate attempt to take the focus off his struggling team and place the attention directly on his mustache. The ploy may work for a few weeks, but experts feel the attention will eventually return to team performance.

"He's trying to make us focus on the mustache and not on the team. I mean ... I wonder how long he's had his mustache. What lengths has he trimmed it to in the past," said one local writer.
