What Do The Eagles Do Now?
On its face, the Eagles’ decision to dump head coach Chip Kelly after two good seasons and a bad one makes little sense.

God Damn It, Kings
Two nights ago, all that stood between the Sacramento Kings and a virtual spot in the playoffs was a home game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
