PHILADELPHIA -- Brian Westbrook could break open a game from almost anywhere on the field. Lined up in the slot, he could run a slant, beat a linebacker and take off with no one able to catch No. 36. His defining moment with the Philadelphia Eagles came on an 84-yard punt return that stunned the New York Giants in 2003.
NEW ORLEANS - Rookie Reggie Bush already may be more famous than the Eagles' Brian Westbrook. Westbrook doesn't have a Heisman Trophy to his name, nor nearly as much face time on the national TV ads.
PHILADELPHIA -- Brian Westbrook walked gingerly through the Eagles' locker room early this week, his swollen left knee and sprained right ankle slowing him to a senior citizen pace. By Sunday afternoon, the Giants are certain Westbrook will be back to his spry, sprinting self. As is the case whenever the Giants and Eagles meet, which they will do Sunday for the right to advance to the NFC Championship Game, the Eagles' running back seems to hold the key to both team's fortunes.

December is the time of year NFL and fantasy teams can least afford a major injury. But while the San Francisco 49ers were unlikely to make the playoffs even with Frank Gore, fantasy owners everywhere are cursing their luck and scrambling to pick up Brian Westbrook.
DEXTER, Maine -- Nearly one year ago, on the morning of June 13, Steven Lake used a Remington model 11-87 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun with a five-round capacity to kill his estranged wife, Amy, and his two children, 13-year-old Coty and 12-year-old Monica, before turning the gun on himself. Lake pulled the trigger, but a group of former Maine police officers is still pressing its contention that local law enforcement holds some responsibility in the killings because it failed to secure his firearms following a domestic violence incident the year before. The group, led by Westbrook native Brian Gagan, who now lives in Arizona and has worked as a patrol officer in Westbrook and Scarborough, continues to push for reforms.

MARLTON, N.J. - Donovan McNabb has one foot planted in the nation's capital and the other firmly in the City of Brotherly Love. He is a Redskin now, but part of him will always be an Eagle. On a hot June day, McNabb conducted a clinic for children on a community field in the New Jersey suburbs of Philadelphia. Brian Westbrook was there along with other longtime former Eagles teammates. Also on the field was Washington running back Clinton Portis and other Redskins who made the trip in support of their new teammate.
The Eagles' Brian Westbrook was one of the NFL's most dangerous dual threats, as a runner and receiver, for several years. Westbrook, 31, is now with the San Francisco 49ers in a much reduced role, but his teammate Frank Gore is putting up Westbrook- like numbers with 691 yards rushing and 348 yards receiving this season.
