Charles Mainor, an assemblyman and Giants fan out of Jersey City, N.J., was the victim of an insensitive friend's Facebook posting over the weekend. Take note, pols: Blaming your friends, it seems, just might be the new hacking claim. More »

You know the old saying about how nothing good happens after 2 a.m.? Do things turn good again when the sun comes up? We hope so for DeSean Jackson's sake, because the Eagles receiver started showing up in Twitter photos at a Miami strip club early this morning. More »

The Seahawks might have stomped the Eagles last night, but the city of Philadelphia has scored a victory of its own against Seattle's NFL franchise. Raheem Brock, a Philly native and a Temple graduate, was recently sentenced to six months probation in Philly Municipal Court on one count of theft. More »

To the surprise of just about everyone last night, Vince Young—whose play up until this point in the game could generously be described as erratic—led an 18-play, 80-yard death march of a touchdown drive that would eventually decide the game. Here's the drive, condensed into a much more palatable 90 seconds. More »

It was a close call to be sure, so it was strange that the play was not reviewed. Not to worry, though. Noted winner Vince Young hooked up with noted former Giant Steve Smith and the Eagles got their touchdown. The two teams bored us to tears for 28 minutes, but brought the heat at the end of the half.

Trashing Andy Reid is a time-honored tradition among fans in Philly, and that's even when the Eagles are successful. That level of angst is nearly incalculable this season, what with the Dream Team staring at a 3-6 record that already includes four losses at home. I can't imagine what the reaction is like right now to what former Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb told a Philly radio station yesterday. More »

In the first half of what's been collectively branded a do-or-die game for the 1-4 Philadelphia side, the Eagles look like the Eagles were expected to look this season and the Redskins look like the Redskins were expected to look, too. However, Brent Celek — while a serviceable tight end — was never supposed to look like an acrobatic receiver, but he just did on a drive that resulted in a field goal that gave the Eagles a 17-0 lead. They're up 20-3 now. More »

Sal Paolantonio reported one of those stories this morning that forced Philly's football media to ask the kind of question Eagles coach Andy Reid might actually have to answer. According to Sal Pal, the Eagles had tried to bring in former Browns coach (and current ESPN analyst) Eric Mangini to jog along and hold first-year defensive coordinator Juan Castillo's bicycle seat, but that Mangini said no thanks.

Sometimes it happens all at once. After 12 years and almost as many votes of confidence, one day a coach can wake up and everything he's accomplished means nothing, all his team's promise is tacitly promised to his successor. More »

"Babin, the NFL's sack leader, said he was fined $15,000 for a hit on 49ers quarterback Alex Smith during the Eagles' 24-23 loss Sunday. Babin is playing in the first year of a five-year, $28.325 million contract. 'It's ridiculous,' he said. 'They just arbitrarily go around fining guys for whatever they want. I'd love to look at the hits from 10 years ago that guys are being fined for now. They were probably getting bonuses back then, not getting fined.'" [CSNPhilly] More »

Howard Eskin has been one of Philadelphia's biggest sports radio personalities for more than 20 years. His reign as the city's self-professed "king" of the genre came to an end last month, however, when WIP switched to an FM format and his radio duties were cut back to a couple of hours on Saturday mornings, though he still does a lot of work as a television reporter. Eskin made his bones by never being shy about expressing an opinion, but his credibility took a hit with many listeners in recent years because he often refrained from being as critical of the Eagles (and head coach Andy Reid in particular) as he was with just about everyone else in the city.

The Philadelphia Eagles had a third-and-goal from the 1/3-yard line against San Francisco in the first half of their game today. Ronnie Brown tried to rush up the middle to extend the Eagles's seven-point lead. Ronnie Brown got stopped cold. So Ronnie Brown tried to throw a pass to no one in particular. The 49ers recovered. The replay upheld the fumble call. Good times. More »

On Kelvin Hayden's third quarter interception of Vick, it was pretty clear that the ball hit the ground. Except not clear enough: as Andy Reid desperately waited for word to come down from above about using his challenge flag, and the Falcons hurried to get to the line to get a snap off, NBC showed a series of replays. The view was obstructed, so Reid never threw the flag. Only afterward did NBC dig up the angle that showed conclusively that the pass should have been incomplete. More »

Everything you need to know about the NFL and its courtier press can be summed up in a single sentence: Michael Vick's much-heralded "$100 million deal" is not a $100 million deal, and the widely reported "$40 million guaranteed" is in fact neither $40 million nor completely guaranteed. More »

Yesterday, in its infinite wisdom, ESPN gave us White Michael Vick. We're still not sure entirely why, although it "got people talking" in the way that most silly ESPN things do.
