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. ...
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....
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.)...
Lions Fan Says He Was Beaten Unconscious By Eagles Fans
Some sports happened this weekend, which means that some sports fans did some awful and violent things.

Chip Kelly Still Doesn't Call "Shitty Plays" On Purpose
Following the Eagles 30-24 win over the Lions on Sunday Chip Kelly was asked if he intentionally called shitty plays to throw off the Lions. His answer was noncommittal. ...
Lions-Eagles Is A Beautiful, Snow-Filled Mess
Snow! At a football game!...
Chip Kelly During A Game Is As Impatient As You Think
Eagles coach Chip Kelly wore a mic in last Sunday's game against Washington, and he was predictably frantic almost all of the time....
Shawn Andrews: Time With Eagles Felt Like "A Living Hell"
Offensive lineman Shawn Andrews spent all but one season of his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles, and according to him, the locker room atmosphere was absolutely horrible. Andrews says that then-quarterback (and current awful Twitter user) Donovan McNabb was disrespectful and constantly deman...
Chip Kelly Does Weird Things With His Tongue
Probably a subtle play signal. Chip Kelly thinks of everything....
Clay Matthews Has A Huge Club On His Right Hand
Clay Matthews is playing today against the Eagles after breaking his thumb in Week 5. Matthews protected his hand by having it wrapped to essentially become a club, which will require some improvisation while tackling. Philadelphia's players should be worried about getting hit with that thing. ...
This Eagles Fan Is One Giant <em>Rocky</em> Tattoo
Nothing says "Yo, I'm from Philly" quite like an Apollo Creed tramp stamp. So, who wants to tell dude he forgot about Paulie?...
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. One of the day's storylines was that Riley Cooper, one of Foles's receivers—you may recall that he made headlines over the summer for calling someone a "nigger"—...
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....
Drake Looks Thrilled To Be In Photo With Fianceé Of Eagles Player

Roberts, who was out for her bachelorette party, is the one in the black up front. Holy shit does Drake look excited....
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. Nick Foles is starting for the injured Michael Vick (and would probably be starting for a healthy Vick too). Though Vick recommended starting Foles in fantasy football this week, he's just 11 of 23...
Former NFL WR Irving Fryar Indicted For Allegedly Stealing $700,000
A state grand jury in New Jersey today indicted former NFL wide receiver Irving Fryar and his mother for conspiring to steal nearly $700,000 in an alleged mortgage fraud scam....
