A lot of Philadelphia Eagles fans were upset devastated to see the Eagles allow Brian Dawkins to walk via free agency. Dawkins, who was the "heart and soul" of the team, signed a five-year contract with the Denver Broncos.

One of the devastated die-hard fans, who also happened to be an Eagles employee, showed his frustration with his favorite team (and employer) through his account on Facebook, the social-networking site. Per John Gonzalez of the Philadelphia Inquirer, this is what Dan Leone, who was the Eagles' "west gate chief," wrote:

"Dan is [expletive] devastated about Dawkins signing with Denver. . .Dam Eagles R Retarted!!"

Should Leone, who suffers from transverse myelitis (neurological disorder), have posted these comments about his employer? Even Leone says no.

"I shouldn't have put it up there," Leone said. "I was ticked off, and I let my emotions go, but I didn't offend any one person or target a specific individual. I was just upset that we lost such a great guy. Dawkins was one of my favorite players. I made a mistake."

Per the Philadelphia Inquirer, Leone was contacted by Leonard Bonacci, director of event operations, who said that he and Leone needed to talk about his Facebook post.

According to Leone, a face-to-face meeting never took place. Instead, he was fired two days later over the phone by Rachel Vitagliano, guest services manager.

"I tried putting in my case to Rachel," Leone said. "I told her I worked there for six years. I did whatever they asked. I only missed one Eagles game the entire time I worked there, and that was because I'm a Mummer. I told her it was my dream to work for the Eagles and that I'd never do anything like that again."

"I apologized for it," Leone said. "I apologized 20 million times. I never bad-mouthed the organization before. I made one mistake and they terminate me? And they couldn't even bring me into the office to talk to me? They had to do it over the phone? At least look me in the eye. To get done dirty like this, I can't believe it. I'm devastated."

Leone is "not holding any grudges" and says he would return if the Eagles were to ask. But should the Eagles have fired Leone in the first place? No. While he made a mistake, he should've been given a second chance.

But his story should be a lesson to us all. When you think your comments posted online are "private," think twice.

And I think Texas Tech coach Mike Leach might be on to something when said he would say he "loves Lubbock every single press conference." (Leach had some sticky negotiations regarding his contract extension with Texas Tech last month.)

So, as an employee of a Dutch-based company (day job), I'd like to go on the record and say that "I love Amsterdam."
