Boston College Linebacker Is Indeed Breakable
Boston College linebacker Brian Toal is a tough guy. He's had a rough college career filled with injuries, but the redshirt senior will not be beaten. Some—like the Boston Globe—might even say he's unbreakable, as they helpfully remind us on today's front page. Right next to the story about his brok...
Kendra Wilkinson Will Skype Your Brains Out
First of all, Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson appears to have broken it off with boyfriend Hugh Hefner (you drop to knees, scream "Nooo!"). And that means that she's free to romp around with the Eagles' Hank Baskett with impunity, although the two are rarely together due to their schedules. The so...
Once Again, Philadelphia Fans Do Their Part To Keep Their Reputation for Upstanding Citizenry Intact
And then there's the other Philadelphia sports team. No, it wasn't all mirth and merriment in the 215 sports community this weekend after the Eagles surprisingly dropped a home game to the Redskins. All that talk about the Birds being the class of the NFC East this season has quieted down, now that ...
Did Kendra Wilkinson Dump Hank Baskett?
I don't know how to tell you this so I'm just going to say it: Apparently, Hank Baskett and Kendra Wilkinson are no longer together. (Some are taking the news kind of hard). It's sad, because if these two crazy kids can't make it, what chance do the rest of us have? The horrible details, and the man...
Exclamation Point-Prone Playmate Adamantly Denies Engagement To Eagles Reciever
Yesterday, Philadelphia gossip hounds were investigating a rumor that "Girl Next Door" Kendra Wilkinson was engaged to Philadelphia Eagles' receiver Hank Baskett. Although many theories about the couple's cozy relationship were circulated, Baskett denied any physical relationship and maintained that...
Big Dope Loses All His Cowboys Stuff. Poor, Dumb Sap
You hate to see anyone become the victim of a burglary, but at the same time it's hard to feel any sympathy for Bruce Marziani. Bruce was born and raised in Philadelphia, but is a Dallas Cowboys fan, as you can see. And when he traveled to Irving for the big Monday Night showdown with the Eagles, he...
DeSean Jackson's End Zone Brainfartery Will Be Overlooked — For Now
Yes, last night was disappointing in many ways, but it has not completely killed my faith: I still like my team. If anything, last night's Eagles/Cowboys game proved that Donovan McNabb is fully-recovered and that DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia's own Barack Obama, is still on pace to be the greatest E...
Another Unfortunate High Five-Related Injury
Being a white guy isn't easy, my friends. We can't dance, there's nothing but Coldplay on our iPods, and when we try to high-five during sporting events, there are often tragic results. Witness these Cowboy fans on Monday night, trying to celebrate following a routine pass completion in the second q...
The Birdacity Of Hope Is What Helps Us Make It Through The Night
I am exhausted. Utterly, completely, wiped.I have been away from Philadelphia for what seems like years and living out of a suitcase. I am down one pair of underwear thanks to the damn figs and now on my last pair of reasonably clean clothes. (Ones that will only require two spritzes of Febreeze for...
Surprise, Surprise: Terrell Owens is Once Again Acting Childish
The 2004 season in which Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens teamed up to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to their first Super Bowl since 1980 was one of the greatest seasons my maligned city has seen in decades. Terrell Owns was a huge part of that and was beloved for it … before his real lunacy started ...
Adam Jones Books His Reservation For Bulletin Boards In St. Louis And Philadelphia In One Shot
When the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, it's a game that is always entertaining because of how much Philadelphians despise the Cowboys. It's unhealthy, but it's one of those things that Philadelphians are saddled with the second they're spat out of their mother's wom...
NFL Season Previews: Philadelphia Eagles
The NFL season has officially started, so it's time to finish the impassioned season previews from various writers, bloggers, diehard fans, cooks, TV personalities, and numerous other walks of life whom consider football the only sport worth watching. Clearly, these previews will be running until, o...
The Questionable Madness Of Shawn Andrews
Shawn Andrews has always been a different type of guy. The line on him through most reporters is this: he's got his quirks, but he's a helluva football player and a really decent human being. Often times he's described as child-like (his nickname is the "Big Kid" after all, and he has a room in his ...
Tim Russert Was A Grand Thespian
Acting! What's more fun than seeing Russert saying, "it's all about the Benjamins" while doing a fist bump? If you haven't seen Luke Russert's interview this morning with "Today," we recommend doing so immediately, but only when no one's around, lest your boss make fun of you for weeping. We still t...
Is The Indiana Job Really That Great Of A Gig?
As an Illini fan eager to hammer Indiana at every opportunity, we must admit that we can't find much to mock about the hiring of Tom Crean. The guy's a respected coach, a solid citizen and has a funny name. No arguments there. Except ... why the heck is he leaving Marquette for Indiana?...
Hugh Douglas Wants To Kill Me
Being a sports reporter is, at times, an absolutely horrible job. Sure you get to watch games, travel, and interact with athletes, but there is a horrendous downside. (Which is pretty much everything else.) And this is never more disturbingly clear than when a reporter has their first (or 50th ) awf...

Your Live Report From The Play-In Game
Yes, that play-in game was last night. Mount St. Mary's won, and we're sure you didn't watch it. But the guys at Flyers Fieldhouse were there, like they always are for the annual play-in game in Dayton. Here's their report from the event....
Get Out There And Mount The Beginning Of The NCAA Tournament
The NCAA tournament is starting tonight, and even though most people don't consider it the real start — you can't even pick the game in tourney pools — we do. We admire any game that gives us a coach named "Fang" and allows us the opportunity to pretend a team's logo is an imperative verb....
