| Offseason could be long for Eagles and fans, and other NFL notes
PHILADELPHIA - Three pieces of advice for Eagles fans as they prepare for an offseason not expected to bubble over with Super Bowl-here-we-come news: 1) stay away from the knife drawer; 2) keep the acid-reflux medicine close by; and 3) focus on the Phillies until the rookies report to Lehigh. Between now and then, not much that will happen at One NovaCare Way likely will bring much of a smile to your face, other than possibly the long-overdue pink slips expected to be given to Dhani Jones and Jerome McDougle. The free-agent market is anorexic, but even if it weren't, and even if the Eagles actually were inclined to gobble up veterans, which they're not, they don't have their usual 1,000 acres of salary-cap space. After signing several young players to long-term extensions in 2006, they will head into free agency less than $13 million under the projected $109 million cap.

Utah congressmen hopeful about State of the Union goals
WASHINGTON It was a toned-down State of the Union address Tuesday night, Utah's congressional delegation said, as President Bush laid out plans for health care, reduction of gasoline consumption and the war in Iraq.
Bush's sixth State of the Union and first to a Democratic Congress offered new policies as he asked for support from the new leadership in Congress during the 49-minute speech.
The early part of the speech focused on domestic policies, but Bush continued his call for additional troops in Iraq, asking lawmakers to "give it a chance" as the country moves on with a new strategy in the Middle East.
"We went into this largely united in our assumptions and in our convictions," Bush said of the Iraq war.
