| Ex-Eagles OG Shawn Andrews Expected His Release, Apologizes | | |
Ex-Eagles offensive guard Shawn Andrews was remarkably upbeat to the point where it almost seemed like he was serving as the spokesman for a franchise that cut ties with him Wednesday morning. "To be honest, I wasn't," Andrews said when asked if he was surprised. "I said actually earlier when I was Twitting. Sometimes when you expect things, it doesn't hurt as much. It was just a matter of when. I knew it was going to happen, or had a feeling. I'm a realist. I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later because they went to their lengths with me, and I appreciate it." Andrews has clearly gone through the exercise of putting himself in the shoes of the people making decisions within the Eagles' organization. He apologized to his teammates, the city and his fans for being a distraction. "I think that my whole situation with depression, it brought a lot of hoopla on the positive side and the negative side, and that in itself is just a distraction to the whole organization," Andrews said. "And that's why from a standpoint of me being real with myself first and foremost, as a business, it doesn't look good. And they have to do what they have to do. And I really, really apologize from the bottom of my heart that I had to put the whole city, the fans, my teammates, everybody through what I put them though. And I do apologize until I'm 10 toes to the sky. So everybody's gonna judge me and say what they want, but hey, I love life. Go Eagles."
