Shirtless Eagles Fan Gives Deeply Uncomfortable Pregame Speech

Report: Former Phillies GM Ruben Amaro To Be Red Sox First-Base Coach
We have ourselves a reverse Jim Tomsula situation: man leaves prominent position for a job he’s wildly overqualified for. Ruben Amaro was the Phillies GM up until last month, when the team declined to renew his contract. Now, according to a report from ESPN, Amaro will be taking over a position as t...

Trash-Talking Giants Fan Unprepared For Eagles Fan's Hands
A Giants fan at Philadelphia’s 69th St. Terminal was just speaking truth, according to himself, and an Eagles fan presumably didn’t like whatever truth that was. So, he laid out the Giants fan. A bunch of people cheered....

Steve Weatherford was cut by the Giants before the season, but his loyalties ahead of tonight’s New York/Philly matchup are quite clear. He’s spent the last day pissing off Eagles fans online....
Joel Embiid Drinking Shirley Temples By The Pitcher Is Today's Great NBA Gossip
The Cauldron has a new report on the state of the Philadelphia 76ers, which features all sorts of “league sources” relaying instances of internal strife. The best part of the story concerns Joel Embiid’s alleged obsession with Shirley Temples....
Flyers Fans Chant "She Said No" At Patrick Kane
Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane was accused of rape in August, and the investigation is still ongoing. In the meantime, Flyers fans at Wednesday night’s game made sure Kane remembered what happened in his offseason....
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...
So, 3-On-3 Overtime Is Pretty Fun, Huh?
Along with coach’s challenges, the most noticeable new wrinkle in the NHL this season is the debut of 3-on-3 overtimes meant to decrease the number of games that go to a shootout. We saw its regular-season debut in last night’s 3-2 Lightning win over the Flyers, and it looked a lot like it did in it...
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...

Some drunk asshole ran onto the field during yesterday’s Eagles loss to Dallas. Philly CB Nolan Carroll took him down. The video from NBC DFW photojournalist Noah Bullard:...
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...
Byron Maxwell Had A Very Bad Night
The Eagles threw a decent amount of money at Byron Maxwell this offseason, signing the former Seahawks cornerback to a $63 million contract with $22 million guaranteed. The team was banking on the 6-foot-1 Maxwell to use his physical play in coverage and turn into Philadelphia’s top corner. He’d pro...
How Would You Describe This Eagles Play Call?
