Flyers Fans Chant "She Said No" At Patrick Kane

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...

The NFL Is Closely Watching Hurricane Joaquin

Hurricane Joaquin, currently churning off the Bahamas, is expected to dump a ton of rain on the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast at best, and at worst, come ashore as a powerful storm. Some models put it arriving in Virginia, perhaps right in time for Sunday afternoon’s Eagles-Skins game....

Nationals Cannot Stop Beating Selves, Allow Inside-The-Park Grand Slam

The Nationals really have no one to blame but themselves for probably losing their way out of a chance at the playoffs, and this play from tonight’s game against the 57-96 Phillies is a great example. Here’s Aaron Altherr driving home all three baserunners and himself thanks to a misplayed ball by M...

Eagles' Nolan Carroll Tackled An Idiot On The Field

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...

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 ...

The Phillies have effectively fired Ruben Amaro Jr. as GM after seven seasons. His early moves were understandable—the team was still good enough that future-mortgaging moves to keep their window open were defensible—but he’s had more than enough time since then to rebuild and restock, and hasn’t su...

Tim Tebow, former and maybe now future TV analyst, is no longer an NFL quarterback. The Philadelphia Eagles cut him today, per Adam Schefter:...

Darryl Dawkins, the former NBA player and greatest enemy of backboards, has reportedly died today at the age of 58. Eastern Pennsylvania news station WFMZ reported Dawkins’s death, though details are scarce. For now, let’s watch Chocolate Thunder destroying rims, and sharing his beliefs that Stevie ...

Larry Bowa Is Ejected, Drops F-Bombs, Threatens Daniel Murphy With A Beaning

Phillies bench coach Larry Bowa was ejected in the seventh inning of tonight’s 6-5 loss to the Mets, and made sure to get his money’s worth as he threw a couple of F-bombs Daniel Murphy’s way and threatened him with a beaning....

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. Now Chip Kelly says the NFL’s interpretation of the play was incorrect...

Eagles Accuse Terrell Suggs Of Targeting Sam Bradford's Knee [Update]

So many of the Eagles’ grand plans this season are reliant on Sam Bradford being in there at QB, and on the first series of Philadelphia’s preseason win over Baltimore, you could see how it’s supposed to work—and how it could all come apart on one play....
