Look at this hightailin’ geezer! CORRECTION: While Orville is, in fact, a hightailin’ geezer, and certainly the man in green is also a hightailin’ geezer—perhaps the hightailin’-est geezer in the history of geezers—it turns out Orville is in white, in lane 2.

Vacation Bill Belichick Is Fully Operational

After a Super Bowl loss to Nick Foles, Patriots head coach and History Channel buff Bill Belichick has escaped to an island to unwind with his girlfriend Linda Holliday.

The Eagles Beat The Patriots With A Heaping Dose Of Their Own Medicine

The Philly Special will rightly be the play that forever defines the Eagles’ victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl 52.

In Spain's La Liga, Celebrating A Goal Is Apparently Worse Than Racism And Sexism

Sunday’s La Liga match between Barcelona and Espanyol was an eventful affair.

The Eagles outpunched the Patriots in Super Bowl 52, with Nick Foles somehow keeping pace with Tom Brady even with Brady performing at the top of his game.
