A week after NFL owners wrapped up their annual spring meeting in Indianapolis, a small group of them gathered in a western suburb of Chicago. Patriots owner Robert Kraft was spotted Wednesday afternoon boarding his private jet at DuPage Airport, a little less than 24 hours after arriving, according to sources. Also present during a full-day stakeout was the jet belonging to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, an unmistakable Gulfstream model with a star on each side of the tail. The kicker? Sources said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also arrived in West Chicago via private jet Tuesday, and Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was believed to be present, the sources said. The NFL office was unable to

Goodell meets several influential NFL owners secretly near Chicago
Twice in two meetings with the media since being named defensive coordinator of the Eagles, Juan Castillo has singled out the Chicago Bears’ defense as one he admires, one he’d like his group to emulate. But the Bears typically play a Cover 2 scheme that drops linebackers into coverage and relies heavily on pressure generated from the front four. It’s almost the opposite of the style implemented by the late Jim Johnson and carried on for two years by Sean McDermott, each of whom would blitz anyone from anywhere at any time. But the message Wednesday during an informal meet-and-greet session with the Eagles’ new coaches is that Castillo’s defense is going back to basics. Simple is the buzz

Eagles’ defense goes back to basics
The Philadelphia Eagles want to interview Green Bay Packers safeties coach Darren Perry for their vacant defensive coordinator job shortly after the Super Bowl, an NFL source said Friday. Perry, 42, has a year remaining on his contract. When the Eagles send their letter of request seeking the interview some time after Feb. 6, coach Mike McCarthy could deny it because Perry is under contract through the 2011 season. He did that in January 2010 when the Chicago Bears sought to interview quarterbacks coach Tom Clements. Teams are under no obligation to let coaches interview unless it’s for the job of head coach. Coaches for the two Super Bowl teams cannot interview until after the game. The

Eagles interested in Packers safeties coach Perry
Senior Bowl practices began Monday with the Eagles’ contingent short a few coaches. The Eagles, of course, are still without a defensive coordinator as the job search extended to its 10th day. They lost a candidate for the job Monday night when the Denver Broncos hired New Orleans Saints assistant Dennis Allen to be their defensive coordinator, according to a Foxsports.com report. The Eagles also have a secondary coaching position to fill after Dick Jauron took the defensive coordinator’s job in Cleveland last week. Andy Reid is back from vacation and conducting the hunt for a coordinator himself. The Eagles’ coach, however, won’t be vetting candidates from Alabama, even though most of the

Eagles don’t have a great presence at Senior Bowl
The Eagles, who once won the National Football League championship while playing in a blizzard, last night won a division championship while not playing because of a blizzard. They went from Snow Bowl to No Bowl when the NFL announced that their scheduled Sunday night game against the Minnesota Vikings would be postponed until Tuesday night. With the tundra at Lincoln Financial Field too frozen for football, the eyes of Eagles fans turned to the original Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field, where the Green Bay Packers hosted the New York Giants. When the Packers defeated New York, 45-17, the Eagles officially clinched their first NFC East title since 2006. When they take the field Tuesday

With help from Packers, Eagles clinch division title
The Ice Bowl. The Fog Bowl. The Tuck Rule game. Some of the most memorable games in N.F.L. history have been played in terrible weather. But on Sunday, the league made a different kind of history, postponing the Sunday night game between the Eagles and the Vikings in Philadelphia until Tuesday because of the blizzard in the Northeast. Moving an outdoor N.F.L. game because of snow is exceedingly rare. The league said the last time it had happened was in 1932, when the championship game between the Chicago Bears and the Portsmouth Spartans was moved indoors to Chicago Stadium because of bitter cold and heavy snow. The N.F.L. has moved games before in anticipation of bad weather. Twice since
IT’S THE National Parity Football League, so the Eagles could lose to the depleted Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Perhaps more than any other fans, Birds Backers should know that just about anything could happen in this wacky season. But if the Eagles were to fall, don’t blame it on any lingering aftereffects from their euphoric and historic comeback victory over the New York Giants. It would seem natural for the Eagles to still be crowing a bit after rallying for 28 points in the final 8 minutes Sunday to stun New York. But, yesterday, the Birds got back to practice, and, for the most part, the locker room seemed as it always has following a game – win or lose. “In the NFL, you get 1 or 2

Eagles won’t rest on their laurels
After returning to form and making some big catches in the 34-24 win over Houston Thursday night, Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson said he’s “very happy” with the Eagles and dismissed a report that said he’s causing distractions at team headquarters in protest of his contract. Jackson, the Pro Bowl wideout, caught three passes for 84 yards against the Texans, including a 33-yard reception deep in Texans territory that set up the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, just four days after being admonished by coach Andy Reid in the locker room following Sunday’s loss to Chicago. After the Texans win, Jackson said he had moved on from the Chicago postgame fireworks and looked forward to
