For $8,000, Lito Sheppard can blow off the mandatory Eagles minicamp and all of the questions he's certain to get (are you unhappy with your contract, the Eagles? And why in the world would you allow yourself to be humilated like this?) about his tenuous future, or lack thereof.

Or he can ride in on his crotch rocket motorcycle with head held high and tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help him ...

Here's a vote for the latter - and clear air, at last.

The Eagles say he will be here before the 6:30 p.m. meeting.
