Eagles lineman Jason Peters ruptured his Achilles tendon in March during a workout. Even though Philly signed a replacement in Demetress Bell, Peters held out hope he could return late in the season. That's not going to happen, after Peters tore the tendon a second time. How it happened? Therein lies dramedy. Peters was putting about on a Roll-A-Bout knee walker, similar to the one at right.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the night Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a 169-147 win over the New York Knicks in Hershey, Pa. Gary Pomerantz's 2006 book, Wilt, 1962: The Night of 100 Points and the Dawn of a New Era, remains the most authoritative account of what happened, but this week the Philadelphia Daily News published an oral history in which writer Mark Kram talked to a number of those who were there, including then-Eagles quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, who had joined some of his teammates in a pre-game scrimmage against members of the Baltimore Colts.

Leonard Weaver was coming off a Pro Bowl season and had just signed a three-year deal with Philadelphia, one of the richest contracts handed out to a fullback. It was his very first carry of the 2010 NFL season, and the play called for Weaver to go right. He went left instead, and his planted leg collided with a helmet, and his momentum carried him over, and his NFL career was over in less than a second. 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.

"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 »
