Even though I attended that stupid game last season where the Eagles lost to the Minnesota Vikings thanks in part to a 69 yard pick six by defensive tackle Linval Joseph, it always feels like they beat the Vikings in big games. (Just remembered that the Joe Webb game exists while writing this piece but […]
I want to talk about a deep insecurity of mine. As an Eagles fan, no, as a Philadelphia fan, I have always had a deep insecurity around sports. My fandom is somehow dependent on bringing others down, not simply celebrating my own victories. If you’ve made it this far, just no I’m totally fucking with […]
As the Eagles embark on a trip to Minnesota for the first time since winning the Super Bowl there (people forget that), the opponent could not have been more well-timed. Yeah, ideally the perfect time to play a team with a winning record on the road is when your roster is healthy, but there is […]
Phillies front office members John Middleton, Andy MacPhail and Matt Klentak held a press conference this afternoon as sort of a post-mortem of the 2019 season. Lasting almost an hour, the three fielded questions from the media and touched on a variety of ranging topics about the season. Make yourself a very strong drink, and […]
Gabe Kapler has been in managerial purgatory for a little over a week since the Phillies lackluster season ended. It took quite some time, but the Phillies front office has officially come to their decision: Kapler is out. Kapler slides safely into the role of scapegoat as his firing masks the gross incompetence exhibited […]
After Ben Simmons three pointer blew the roof of the Wells Fargo Center last night, the Flyers didn’t allow for any reconstruction. The Philadelphia Flyers beat the New Devils, 4-0, in their home opener in-front of a roaring sold-out crowd Wednesday night. Being outshot and outplayed after the 1st period, the Flyers came out […]

Fans are invited into the room to “blow off steam” by smashing objects with various provided weaponry. Many were bewildered at the announcement, given the previous expansiveness of “rage space.” “The whole thing […]
HOLY SHIT. CLAP YOUR HANDS. EVERYBODY. FOR Ben Simmons. This is the moment we have all been waiting for. The prince who was promised has finally achieved what we all knew he could do. And not just on a grainy videotape from a summer exhibition or on the Sixers Snapchat at the training facility in […]
As we dip into another week where Gabe Kapler awaits in baseball purgatory, more confusion surrounds the Phillies front office. A group that had many of their decisions go awry during the season, now starts the offseason the same way. While it’s Kapler whose job seems to be hanging in the balance, it’s Matt Klentak […]
Halloween, 2007. I’m 12-years-old, wrapping up another successful year pillaging the neighborhood for its chocolate riches. My buddy invites me over to his parents’ second house, an abandoned shell of a home that they’ve been trying to flip for years. He tells me he’s turned it into a haunted house, with the help of a […]
