  • Time to Root for 3-13 Eagles Fans
    11/15/2011

  • Did Phillies Sign Papelbon Out of Spite?
    11/12/2011
    Ryan Madson was all but re-signed by the Philadelphia Phillies. Now suddenly, Jonathan Papelboin is the team's new closer. Why? I think it was due to spite.
  • Did Phillis Sign Papelbon Out of Spite?
    11/12/2011
    Why is Ryan Madson an ex-Phjillie and Jonathan Papelbon is the new closer? Personally, I think it was done out of spite.
  • The Church of Penn State
    11/8/2011
    I have nothing but contempt for the Roman Catholic Church for the way they protected their pedophile priests. Now this alumni might have to admit that Penn State might be just as bad.

  • Sixers Rid Themselves of Worst Owner in Sports
    10/24/2011
    The best thing about the Philadelphia 76ers being sold isn't the new ownership group. No, the best thing about the sale is that Ed Snider can no longer ruin a once proud NBA franchise.
  • Andy Reid's Last Stand?
    10/13/2011
    Andy Reid has been the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles for over 12 years, but it all might come down to this Sunday.

  • Eagles-Giants Postgame "Break"down
    9/25/2011
    Saying that the Michael Vick injury was the reason the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the New York Giants is too simplistic. There were plenty of other reasons why the Eagles lost to an inferior Giants team.
  • Eagles-Giants Preview: Passing the Tests
    9/24/2011
    All of the media coverage has been about Michael Vick, but the Philadelphia Eagles game against the New York Giants will be decided by the other players in this game.

    9/16/2011

  • Eagles-Rams Post Game: Evil Genius
    9/11/2011
    The Eagles got the win over the Rams on Sunday in spite of their obvious flaws. Now the only question is whether or not Eagles head coach Andy Reid is an evil genius.
  • Eagles - Rams Preview: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
    9/10/2011

  • The Phillies Dream Season
    8/11/2011
    The Phillies probably can't match the record of 116 wins in a season, but that doesn't mean they won't finish the season as the best team in baseball.
  • Why It's Easy to Hate Eagles Management
    8/9/2011
    Just because I hate the Philadelphia Eagles owner and management team doesn't make me any less of a fan. As a matter of fact, I think it makes me an even better fan.
  • "Dream Team" or Nightmare?
    8/6/2011
    NFL fans everywhere have been buzzing ever since new Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Vince Young referred to his new team as "The Dream Team". Unfortunately for Eagles fans, this season may turn into more of a nightmare than a dream.

  • What Are the Philadelphia Eagles Thinking?
    7/29/2011
    The surprise signing of cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha certainly was an aggressive move by the Philadelphia Eagles, but it just doesn't seem to make sense.
  • Philadelphia Eagles: Same as it Ever Was
    7/28/2011
    The Philadelphia Eagles are the NFL version of the old Talking Heads song, "Once in a Lifetime". They make bold statements and pat themselves on the back, yet their trophy case is empty. This season promises to be more of the same. "Same as it ever was"

    7/14/2011

  • Bruce Bochy is a Cheater
    7/13/2011
    Bruce Bochy wanted to win the all-Star Game, but he wasn't willing to burn out his Giants pitchers to do it. Luckily he had the Phillies and Braves staff to abuse so he could save his own guys for the regular season.

  • Nike and Michael Vick Just Do It
    7/3/2011
    In one of the most hypocritical moves in the history of advertising, Nike has re-signed Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick to promote their products. I for one will never buy another Nike product as long as I live and neither should you.

    6/22/2011

  • Checking in on the Philadelphia Eagles
    6/5/2011

  • Power Outage in Philly?
    5/18/2011

    5/14/2011

    5/1/2011
    While it is impossible to judge the Eagles' 2011 NFL Draft picks yet, we can certainly judge the organization on their past failures in the draft. The Eagles once again tried to outsmart everyone else and once again they came up empty.

    4/14/2011
