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....

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.

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....
