This Phillies team has been more disappointing than a rainy day at the beach. The 2022 Phillies have been downright embarrassing. Whether it be their dumbfounding defensive miscues, inopportune cold streaks at the plate, or the bullpen serving up their best batch of an Italian grandmother’s meatballs in big situations, this squad has been intolerably […]

If nothing else, every season the Eagles bye week reminds me of one thing about Philadelphia fans and media alike: If they cannot find drama, they will create it. Imagine #Eagles didn’t project Micah Parsons as rusher, otherwise decades-old philosophy would have likely resulted in taking him over DeVonta Smith at 10. Unless they […]
Let’s start this off with a quote from the Philly Sports Bible that is completely real and definitely not made up. “As thy fans of Philadelphia sports garner confidence and expectation in a beloved team, thou must be reminded of what it means to be humble. The only way to do that is with […]
The Philadelphia Eagles hit the road for the first time this preseason and will take on the New York Jets on Friday night (7:30). The two teams competed in joint practices during the week as well.
