The Flyers start their Eastern Conference Finals series with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday. No word yet if Philly area Papa John's will hand out Sidney Crosby #87 "crybaby" t-shirts. The Phils won their weekend series with the San Francisco Giants on a fielding error and Ryan Howard's chugging frog splash into home. Philadelphia starts a four game set tonight with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who hold the best record in the majors. Lito Sheppard......

In last year’s NFL Draft, the Eagles traded out of the first round and selected QB of the future Kevin Kolb with the 36th overall pick, leaving many fans underwhelmed. What would they do in 2008? Trade out of the first round to take a DT, leaving many fans underwhelmed. Hey, at least they’re consistent. Evaluating the NFL draft past, say, the 20th pick is like trying to handicap a middle school frog race. And......

It's in a Philly sports fan's nature to bitch and moan about the often nonsensical moves made by the people in charge of our sports teams. Of course, we're not always rational beings ourselves. Hell, we're getting excited about the Sixers, who are—let's face it—a mediocre basketball team. So how can we possibly expect the people who run our teams to be rational? But we've just about had it with the Eagles' front office. It's......

There are several questions that will rattle around in our heads for a while, tormenting us while seeing highlights of the remainder of the playoffs, particularly while at whatever dispirited Super Bowl party we attend, telling ourselves it's about being with friends instead of "the game." The 2.5 million dollar commercials will be funny at times, there’ll be lots of beer, some disgusting nacho dip that defies ocular sense by tasting good, and maybe it’ll......

Game Time: Saturday, January 13th at 8pm The Saints will have Hollis Thomas back after a 4 game suspension. WR Joe Horn is questionable for game day. Horn burnt the Eagles for 6 catches, 110yds, and 2 TDs (14,48yds) in their 27-24 Week 6 win. The groin injury that kept him out the last four games restricted his time on the practice field this past week. Even if he plays you can’t expect him......

The Eagles have come a long way. After being left for dead in late November - they lost McNabb in a 31-13 loss to the Titans, which was followed by a 45-21 loss to the Colts - they reeled off five straight wins with a quarterback that all the NFL considered a washout after showing some ability in San Francisco. The super undead Eagles - coach Reid himself, as well as several players, was......

They did it. The Eagles came, they played hard and well on defense and offense, and then, most importantly, they finished the game, winning a huge, hard-fought victory over division rivals the Dallas Cowboys. Perhaps even more satisfying, they completely defeated ex-teammate Terrell Owens, making him a non-factor in the game. The Eagles might not have been the only ones involved in removing him from the game; there might also have been some bad......
