The Philly Curse Continues

The Philadelphia Eagles are saddened to announce Jim Johnson has passed away this afternoon at the age of 68 after a courageous battle with cancer.

A veteran of 22 years as an NFL assistant, Johnson is regarded as one of the top defensive masterminds in National Football League history. Over the last decade, he gained a great deal of notoriety as the orchestrator of the renowned Eagles defense. His aggressive style kept Philadelphia at or near the top of the NFL in nearly every major defensive category since joining Andy Reid's staff on January 22, 1999.

From 2000-08, Johnson's units ranked 2nd in the NFL in sacks (390), 3rd down efficiency (34.0%) and red zone touchdown percentage (43.9%), and fourth in fewest points allowed (17.7 per game). During his 10-year tenure in Philadelphia, the Eagles earned seven playoff berths, five trips to the NFC Championship game and one Super Bowl appearance (following the 2004 season).

As the Eagles defensive chief, Johnson's defense has produced 26 Pro Bowl selections: Brian Dawkins (7), Troy Vincent (5), Jeremiah Trotter (4), Hugh Douglas (3), Lito Sheppard (2), Asante Samuel (1), Trent Cole (1), Michael Lewis (1), Corey Simon (1), and Bobby Taylor (1).

Four of his defensive assistants have gone on to successful careers with other NFL franchises: Steve Spagnuolo (head coach of the St. Louis Rams), John Harbaugh (head coach of the Baltimore Ravens), Ron Rivera (defensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers) and Leslie Frazier (defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings).

Prior to his tenure in Philadelphia, Johnson served as the linebackers coach with Seattle in 1998. That year, Johnson helped the Seahawks register 10 touchdowns on defense, including eight interceptions returned for scores, 2nd most in NFL history. He arrived in Seattle after a four-year stint in Indianapolis, the last two as defensive coordinator. While with the Colts, Johnson helped them secure a berth in the AFC Championship game at Pittsburgh in 1995.

Johnson spent eight seasons with the Arizona Cardinals (1986-93). After overseeing the Cards defensive line for four seasons, Johnson excelled as their secondary coach, helping Aeneas Williams become the first rookie cornerback to lead the league in interceptions (6) since 1981.

Johnson began his coaching career as head coach at Missouri Southern (1967-68), before serving four-year tenures at Drake and Indiana. From 1977-83, Johnson served as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Notre Dame, a stint that included a national championship in 1977.

An all-conference quarterback himself at Missouri (where he played in the same backfield with long-time NFL executive Bill Tobin), Johnson went on to spend two seasons with Buffalo as a tight end (1963-64).

A native of Maywood, IL, Johnson (born 5/26/41) earned a bachelor's degree in education and a master's degree in physical education from Missouri.

Johnson is survived by his wife, Vicky, two children, Scott and Michelle, and four grandchildren, Katie, Justin, Brandon, and Jax

R.I.P. Steve McNair, You Will be Sadly Missed

Ex-NFL QB McNair found shot to death in condo

Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was found shot to death Saturday. he was 36.


Steve McNair played 13 NFL seasons.
A woman was also found dead along with McNair in a Nashville condominium in an apparent double homicide.

A public information officer with the Nashville police, Don Aaron, confirmed the death. No further information has been released.

Titans owner Bud Adams also confirmed the quarterback's death in a brief statement released Saturday.

Adams called him "one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans. He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl."

McNair played 11 seasons in the NFL with the Tennessee Titans franchise and then spent two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens.

He was a three-time Pro Bowler and was the Co-AP NFL MVP in 2003.

McNair played in the "Music City Miracle" game in 1999, when his Titans stunned the Buffalo Bills with a kickoff return touchdown in the final seconds in their AFC Wild Card playoff game.

McNair led the Titans to the Super Bowl that season, where they lost to the Rams. With the Titans driving for a potential game-tying score in the fourth quarter, McNair completed a pass to Kevin Dyson in the closing moments but Dyson was stopped at the 1-yard line.

You will be truly missed!!

Baseball Memorabilia

I just picked up some awesome Memorabilia pieces. Check out these pics! I have autographed Phillies Cards, and Postcards, 3 Cooperstown Baseball Bats, A Tommy Greene autographed Display, and some other nice pieces.

I will be adding them to my site this weekend.

Eagles, Phillies, and Weekly Specials

McNabb and the Eagles agreed late Thursday to restructure the final two years of his contract instead of extending his current deal. McNabb will collect $24.5 million over the next two seasons, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. That’s a $5.3 million raise over two years.

Hopefully this new contract will inspire Donovan to pull out all the stops and get us to the Super Bowl again and hopefully the outcome will be better. With these new young wideouts we added to the roster, Donovan will have plenty of targets to go to. Desean Jackson should have another breakout season, Kevin Curtis is back healthy, and we need to get Maclin signed ASAP and get him to camp.

Westbrook's rehab is on schedule and should be ready to go for the regular season barring any set backs. It is still up in the air wherther he will get any playing time in the preseason.

Ryan Howard had a game tying homer last night in the ninth to send the Phils to their third consecutive extra inning game, but is was all for naught. This time they fell short in 13 innings in a 5-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Blanton allowed five hits, two runs and two walks and struck out seven in seven innings. But Red Sox left-hander Jon Lester pitched even better. He dominated the Phillies. And the rest of the Boston bullpen followed suit, too

After Lester allowed two hits, one run and two walks and struck out 11 in seven innings, Boston's bullpen allowed three hits, one run, three walks and struck out nine the rest of the way.

The Phillies set a franchise record with 20 strikeouts, although the nine-inning record remains Oct. 6, 1991, when Mets right-hander David Cone struck out 19.

We are having a weekend special which ends on 6/14/09. Buy two or more cards on my site and get a free magnetic or screwdown holder of your choice. Just email me at sales@jerseycoastcollectibles.com once you have placed your order and let me know which freebie you want.

Memorabilia Added

I got three new pieces today. A "Mean" Joe Greene Autographed Steelers helmet, a 2007 Masters Flag signed by Vijay Singh, and a WWE Championship Belt signed by Bruno Sammartino. These are really nice pieces!!

Check out the pics I added!

I am going to post them on Fleabay for now and see what happens. If I have no action on them they will be added to my site. If you want to make me an offer, just shoot me an email at sales@jerseycoastcollectibles.com.

I also have more toploaders on the way for those of you that requested them. I have a case of 138pt, 197pt, and 240pt. They should be here the middle of the week.

I still am waiting for my Phillies lot and hopefully will get here soon. They are slow to ship at times. A real nice lot of autographed items.

The weather here in jersey sucks. Been raining the last 3 days and hopefully the system will be out of here by tonight. Should be a nice weekend. With the full moon on Sunday, the bass bite should turn on.

Have a great weekend!
