3 Keys To An Eagles Victory Over The Vikings


After an explosive, yet too-close-for-comfort victory over the Lions in week one, the Eagles play their home opener on Monday night. Last week’s game had a little bit of everything.   Offensively, Jalen Hurts was good, and anyone who tells you otherwise didn’t watch the game. A.J. Brown was special, and has the makings of […]

Week 1 Preview: Philadelphia Eagles @ Detroit Lions


Eagles football is BACK. There is a boatload of hype surrounding the 2022 Birds, and rightfully so. Many have crowned them the champions of the offseason because of all the additions made by Howie Roseman (more on that later). As fans, though, we know that championships aren’t won in the offseason. We all remember the […]

We’re Going To Learn A Lot About Jonathan Gannon In 2022


I grew up in the era of Jim Johnson’s 2000s Eagles defenses playing with an unmatched level of aggression. The late Johnson was known for dialing up the pressure in seemingly every situation, and it almost always worked. Johnson was unapologetic about who he was and the style of defense that he coached. That mindset, […]

Players To Watch In The Eagles Preseason Opener


Eagles football is BACK. With a roster that has gotten much deeper with talent seemingly everywhere, the excitement level for the Birds is sky high. To my surprise, the Eagles WILL play their starters for a series or two on Friday night. That means we will see new additions such as A.J. Brown and James […]

Ben Simmons Continues To Be An Absolute LOSER


Ben Simmons has been pampered his entire life. He’s used to everything coming easy, being unconditionally loved, and never having to answer for himself or be held with any sort of accountability. If you’re a Philadelphia sports fan, you already knew that. Simmons’ refusal to play for the Sixers in the first half of the […]

The Grades Of The Phillies Closest Competition At The Deadline


Tuesday was one of the wildest trade deadlines in the history of Major League Baseball. There was a franchise-altering move, plenty of smart moves, some head-scratching moves, a few under-the-radar depth moves, and whatever the Colorado Rockies are doing.   Asked about the Rockies being the only team to not make a deadline trade, Bill […]

Grading the Phillies Moves At The Trade Deadline


Dave Dombrowski was asleep for about a week, up until approximately 3:30 on Tuesday afternoon. As the rest of the baseball world was reacting to the shockwaves of the Nationals being a poverty organization, rest assured Dombrowski wasn’t missing his daily cat nap.   Then, out of seemingly nowhere, the Phillies made two trades in […]

Realistic Deadline Additions For The Phillies


When Dave Dombrowski spoke to the media in the Phillies dugout before their series against the Braves, he was shockingly transparent. He seems to like where the Phillies are at lineup wise, especially with Jean Segura on the way back and Bryce Harper hopefully returning by the time the Birds wrap up their preseason schedule. […]

The Awesome History Of Phillies In The Home Run Derby


The Home Run Derby is easily my favorite all-star game-related competition in any sport, and nothing really comes close. I snooze heavily on the NBA dunk contest and 3-point contest, especially in recent years. The NFL just recently started doing competitions for their pro bowl week after fans essentially got on their hands and knees […]
