Riley Cooper Hasn't "Been Through" Anything
Nick Foles, a quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, gave an interesting quote to Peter King after a seven-touchdown performance today.

Nick Foles Goes Berserk For A Seven-Touchdown Day
Michael Vick was sitting with a hamstring injury he re-aggravated last week, so Nick Foles got his chance as Philadelphia's quarterback of the week. It's safe to say he did an acceptable job, throwing an astounding seven touchdowns (along with 406 yards) in a 49-20 rout of the Raiders....
GOALIE FIGHT!
The Capitals took a 7-0 dump on the Flyers, but some measure of revenge (Momentum? Enforcement? What's this bullshit supposed to be about again?) was gained with a full line brawl in the third period. The highlight was Ray Emery skating the length of the ice to fight Braden Holtby, who wanted none o...
That Time Mike Schmidt, Age 38, Scored From First On A Wild Pitch
A reader named Brad wrote in to ask if we could track down the video for this one.

Allen Iverson Finally Obeys Laws Of Nature, Officially Retires
Allen Iverson made his retirement official today, even though it's hard to know how, exactly, to define such a thing for him. Iverson, now 38, was never a professional basketball player so much as he was, foremost, an object in motion, tending always to stay in motion. If Iverson can be said to reti...
When His Lady Friend's Braces Quashed Oral, Dr. J Impregnated Her
The scamps over at the New York Post's Page Six got ahold of a copy of Julius Erving's autobiography today, and immediately dredged up an unsavory bit of tid.

Drake had to cancel his show Saturday night in Philly, but at the hotel bar, he ran into a group of ladies that included Laura Roberts, who's engaged to Eagles safety Kurt Coleman.

Kicked-Out Cowboys Fan Gets A Very Philly Send-Off From Eagles Fans
Just watch and listen for yourself. Security was clearly removing a Cowboys fan from the Linc's seating area, and no one in this video punched a woman. Can we please now stop with the lazy stereotyping of Philly fans as boorish thugs?...

Nick Foles Is Struggling, And Marcus Vick Is Loving It
It's an unexpected defensive showdown in Philadelphia, as the Cowboys lead the Eagles 3-0 at the half.
