New Look LB For Eagles
By Spencer Graves
n It's the sixth different set of linebackers the Eagles will start in their 10th game of the season.
For the second consecutive week, the Eagles will go with a different look at
linebacker because of a knee injury to weakside starter Akeem Jordan. Coach Andy Reid
ruled out Jordan for Sunday night's game at Chicago.
Will Witherspoon will again start at weakside LB, and second-year man Joe Mays will
start in the middle. Chris Gocong, who started in the middle in last week's loss to San
Diego, will move back to his customary spot on the strong side. Rookie Moise Fokou, who
started the past two games on the strong side, appears to be the odd man out.
Johnson Goes For Record In Miami
By Spencer Graves
n The NASCAR season will come to an end following this weekend's race at Homestead.
Jimmie Johnson will go for his fourth straight Cup title from the pole.
Johnson turned a lap of 173.919 mph to win the pole at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He
qualified first Friday hours after it was announced he signed a contract extension to
drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2015 season.
Scott Speed was second. Marcos Ambrose was third. Mark Martin and Tony Stewart round
out the top five.
Johnson goes into Sunday's finale with a 108-point lead over Martin and needs only to
finish 25th or better to win the title.

Memphis Blues Come to Philly

The Philadelphia 76ers can boost their record to 6-6 with a win at home tonight
against the Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis is 3-8.
Philadelphia is coming off a two-point win over Charlotte on Wednesday, and most of
the Sixers' wins this season have come against opponents with losing records.
The Sixers have listed reserve Rodney Carney as probable for tonight's game. He has a
sore wrist, but scored 10 points on Wednesday night.
Game time is 7 at the Wachovia Center.
