SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The carefully cultivated byways winding toward the Arizona Biltmore hotel are lined by an amazing array of colors this time of year, but kelly green is not among them.
From a Philadelphia fan's standpoint, of all the issues scheduled to be addressed at the NFL owners meetings, which convened here Sunday evening, the most significant would have been if the Eagles' proposal to allow teams a second helmet would have gone forward to a vote. And never mind the Raiders' anticipated move to Las Vegas.
The Eagles' helmet proposal would have begun the process of allowing the team to establish kelly-green throwback uniforms, like the Eagles wore in the 2010 season opener.
