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. A good coach is one of the hardest things to find in the NFL, and it’s usually a bad idea to get rid of a coach after just one down year. That logic doesn’t really follow in Kelly...
Peter King: "I Am Obviously A Rube"
He’s probably talking about the Chip Kelly firing, but may be talking about Skyline chili. Seems accurate either way....

Jason Peters Pulled Himself Out Of Eagles Loss To Avoid Risk Of Injury
The Philadelphia Eagles needed to beat Washington at home last night to stay in playoff contention.

Obviously, the Eagles wer...
Chip Kelly vs. LeSean McCoy Beef Reaches New Beef Level
Remember how earlier this week Chip Kelly was all like “I’d love to shake LeSean McCoy’s hand,” and then LeSean McCoy was all like, “Chip can’t say shit to me.”? Well this week Kelly called McCoy and he was all like, ‘Hey it’s Chip, from Philly,’ and McCoy was all like *hangs up phone*....
LeSean McCoy Will Not Be Shaking Chip Kelly's Hand. No Sir! He Just Won't!
During a conference call with reporters, Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said he would like to shake Bills running back LeSean McCoy’s hand when their teams face off this weekend.

No One's Responsible For Chip Kelly's Offense But Chip Kelly
In addition to a concussion, Eagles QB Sam Bradford also suffered a separated shoulder in Sunday’s loss to Miami, according to ESPN. It looks like it’ll be Mark Sanchez under center for at least the next game, which, given Bradford’s play, may or may not be a good thing as Philadelphia desperately n...
Nobody Makes Dirk Nowitzki Bleed His Own Blood
Kelly Olynyk was frequently compared to Dirk Nowitzki coming out of college. Mostly because they’re both tall gangly white guys, but also because of some similarities in their games, especially the post moves that they employ....
Kelly Olynyk Attempts To Finish Burrito In Just Four Bites
The NBA season is long and the plane rides are plentiful, leaving plenty of time for shenanigans. On a recent team flight Celtics center Kelly Olynyk was somehow convinced to attempt to take down a monster burrito in just four bites, and of course Amir Johnson documented it (and posted it to Snapcha...
Bruins Forward Chris Kelly Fractures Femur On Non-Contact Play
The above video of Bruins forward Chris Kelly suffering a non-contact injury against the Stars tonight doesn’t look too bad—though you never know with ligament and joint injuries—and after a few minutes of examination he hobbled off the ice. But as it turns out, the injury was indeed very, very bad,...
Brian Kelly Explains Why He Shoved One Of His Assistants

Eagles Fan Is Extremely Excited About His 2-3 Team
The Eagles drubbed Drew Brees’s deteriorating shoulder and the Saints Sunday, and gave Philadelphia’s media a week off from speculating that Chip Kelly’s racist, rabid, or a robot built by another NFL team that was designed to sabotage the organization. Regardless of Kelly’s purpose, at least one fa...
DeMarco Murray Wants The Damn Ball
Whatever the Eagles’ plan, it’s not working. They’re 1-3 now, smack dab in last place in a weak NFC East after a backbreaking 23-20 loss at Washington. And all along, Chip Kelly has shunted the blame to his players: it’s about “executing,” he’s said since the beginning, not his system. RB DeMarco Mu...
Did Chip Kelly Outsmart Himself?
The Eagles are 0-2, and although it’s certainly unfair to write off a team after two games, you wouldn’t blame Eagles fans for looking at Chip Kelly with eyebrows raised as high as they’ll go. Is this—a completely dysfunctional squad that can’t be bothered to beat a Cowboys team down Tony Romo and D...
Chip Kelly Cares About You, Eagles Fans
Chip Kelly’s going to get asked about tempo in practically every interview he accepts. It’s inevitable at this point. During a chat with D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Eagles head coach used new reasons for why Philadelphia’s offense runs as quickly as it does: Chip’s ...
Chip Kelly Thinks The NFL Is Wrong About Terrell Suggs's Hit On Sam Bradford
This morning, the NFL confirmed that Terrell Suggs’s semi-late hit on Sam Bradford was incorrectly called roughing the passer, despite the Eagles’ belief that Suggs was intentionally targeting Bradford’s surgically repaired knee.
