When Dave Dombrowski spoke to the media in the Phillies dugout before their series against the Braves, he was shockingly transparent.

Could Jalen Hurts Be An Elite Quarterback In 2022?


We’re officially into the dog days of summer. The only sport in action is Major League Baseball and the NFL season is getting closer but not close enough to start thinking X’s and O’s.   Considering the absolute dumpster fire of a week it’s been for Philadelphia sports, with the Phillies once again forgetting how […]

Ranking The Best Possible Philly Sports Documentaries


With the recent news of a multi-part, Derek Jeter “Last Dance style” documentary coming out in two months, it got me thinking: what parts of Philly sports history deserve to be told in a national spotlight?

On March 9, 2022 a moment that will live on in history occurred: The Indianapolis Colts traded quarterback Carson Wentz to the newly named Washington Commanders.

The Rams Kept Their Super Bowl Window Open in a Way the Eagles Should Have


After the longest season in NFL history, the Los Angeles Rams are the last team standing and are the 2021 Super Bowl champions. How this somewhat relates to the Eagles is that there was a time in 2016 and 2017 when both franchises laid the foundation for a long stretch of success. Both drafted a […]

Exorcising Demons: How the Birds Can Upset Brady and the Bucs


For many Philadelphia sports fans, the Eagles loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2002 NFC Championship game ranks #1 in most fan’s hearts as the Eagles game that hurt the most.   The Eagles were supposed to win that game. It was supposed to be the final swan song for the Vet, and […]

Devonta Smith Was The Right Pick


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.
