Here's A Dude Playing With His Dick And Butt In The Streets Of Philly
So, what's going on here? ...
For One Great Ballplayer, Philadelphia Was A Perpetual Traffic Jam
Originally published in January 1970 in Jock magazine. The author, Bill Conlin, died on Thursday. He was 79. Conlin was a legend in his native city who wrote elegantly and hilariously about Philadelphia sports in the days before he allowed himself to become a grouchy old fud. He spent the last decad...
Brayden Schenn Takes A Skate To The Stomach, Returns To The Game
Ow. Brayden Schenn was accidentally jabbed in the stomach by Dainius Zubrus's skate after a hit during tonight's Flyers-Devils game. At least Zubrus knows he doesn't need to have them sharpened for now....
Two Of The NFL's Strangest Streaks Say The Chargers Will Be Champs
Let's be quite clear about this up front: We don't believe there's anything to this, any more than there was to the (now broken) streak of Redskins home games predicting the Presidential election. It's, statistical noise. But as far as random quirks go, these are pretty fucking weird....
Dumb Column About Michael Vick: "Who Will Think Of The Children?"
There is a stupid thing in the New York Times today, which if read aloud in the proper cadence would sound quite a bit like a warmup oration for a tar-and-feathering. It's about Michael Vick, of course, and it argues that no team in the NFL should sign Michael Vick, for the sake of the children....
Eagles Fan Spits On Saints Fan Moments After Losing
Saints fan Nick Scelfo was at the Linc to watch his team win on a field goal as time expired. He recorded the moments after the Eagles lost, celebrating while being surrounded by Philly fans. Most of them ignored him, but one fan near him said, "I'm gonna spit in your face," a second before followin...
Paul Bissonnette's Face Is All Messed Up
[This is just one of those perfect hockey fight moments. Jay Rosehill is mangling Paul Bissonnette's face at this point, but the fight was even. Photo by Ross D. Franklin/AP]...
Shady McCoy Making Dudes Look Silly Out There
LeSean McCoy just shook David Hawthorne right out of his shoes. Good lord. ...
The Saints Are Eating Popeyes Again
The Saints always seem to get a little salty when naysayers bring up the performance disparity when they play on the road. Drew Brees bristled earlier this year after a loss to Seattle when it was suggested the team was basically a guaranteed loss on the road. He had stats ready to show how it was ...
"It Was My Sperm": Eagles-Fan Dad Wants Credit For Son's Hot Tub Tailgate
There's a lot to love about this video. First of all, it's not about making cheesesteaks. Second of all: fuck yeah, Philadelphia. This is the way to tailgate: four dudes in an outdoor hot tub drinking Wild Turkey in chilly-ass Philadelphia. ...
With Orton Or Romo, The Cowboys Are Still The Cowboys
The Cowboys' season ended in a way that all Cowboys' seasons now seem destined to end: With an 8-8 record, a trip to the playoffs handed over to a division rival, and a backbreaking interception. Tony Romo may not have been there to preside over this year's clusterfuck, but he wasn't needed—the Cowb...
This Eagles Fan Is Really, Really, <em>Really</em> Excited They Won The NFC East
Tonight the Eagles seized the NFC East title and a trip to the playoffs thanks to a win in Dallas. Fans back in Philadelphia were pretty excited, especially this guy known only as "Mr. G."...
How The Eagles' "Predator" Defense Saved Philadelphia's Season
First Chip Kelly was going to outrun the NFL. Then, after a 1-3 start, Chip Kelly was overwhelmed by the NFL. Now, with the Eagles a win away from being in the playoffs in Kelly's first season as coach, Kelly is a genius again. Funny how that works. ...
Claude Giroux's Hundredth Career Goal Was One To Remember
Claude Giroux's game-winning goal was a behind-the-back flick that had such a slim chance of going in. But it did, and it was outstanding. The goal was also No. 100 for Giroux, an excellent way to reach that milestone....
The Problem With Riley Cooper's Redemption
There are two legitimately fascinating stories hiding in ESPN's "Hot Read" on the redemption of Riley Cooper, and neither of them are told. One is buried and glossed over, the other ignored altogether, in favor of a trite and vaguely insulting tale of overcoming self-inflicted adversity....
Flyers' Brayden Schenn Injured By Vicious Hit From Tom Wilson
Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals took Flyers forward Brayden Schenn out of the game with a brutal hit that sent Schenn flying into the boards, injuring him....
Why The NFL Flexed Bears-Eagles Over Patriots-Ravens
At first glance, it was a surprise. The NFL wants America to see McCown-Foles over Brady-Flacco? But the league has a good reason for flexing Bears-Eagles to Sunday Night Football for Week 16: the freedom to choose the perfect Week 17 game. (Also, the fact that Bears-Eagles is going to be awesome.)...
