Howard Eskin, Philly sports pontificator emeritus, continued his somewhat creepy fascination – which almost feels like it borders on sexism – with ESPN’s Dianna Marie Russini.

Russini, Straight Outta DC – who found herself in the, um, headlines last month – tweeted, somewhat innocuously, that the Redskins would benefit from bad weather on Sunday.

The order of events was wrong. But the Eagles signed Tim Tebow, and then traded Matt Barkley… and then cut Tim Tebow.
