Imho, there's no way Dino was coming back from Philly with a "PASS"
on his physical.  since the deal was announced, Philly has been getting
slammed for making such a lopsided business deal.  Also, it was apparent
afterwards that Dino didn't want to go to Philly.  Dino's health might
suck right now but L. Brown was surely looking to back out of this.
He's already up to his eyeballs with draft prospects who don't want
to be in Philly (Van Horn, Billups).
