Allen signs, Cooper impresses, offensive line issues

Allen signs, Cooper impresses, offensive line issues

The first three days of training camp are in the books and what have we seen so far? Honestly, not much. First round pick Brandon Graham still has yet to sign a contract, and contrary to his words from a couple of weeks ago, he's a camp no- show. While I am still confident that this isn't ...

The Sixers fork in the road

The Sixers fork in the road

The Sixers may have benefited from a short lived buzz due to the drafting of Evan Turner, the work is not finished.  In all reality, the work may not be finished before the start of the 2010/11 campaign. The Sixers have reached the proverbial  "fork in the road." It's where decisions must be made, like it or not. Mainly, the Sixers ...

Keeping an eye on the Birds going into final preseason game

Posted by Dany Sloan on September - 2 - 2010
Tonight’s final preseason matchup against the Jets will be one for the hardcore fans. The game, which begins at 8 at the Linc, will be devoid of all of the familiar faces. While you won’t be able to get your fix of Celek, Kolb, or DeSean, there will be plenty of important things to keep an eye on that will have an effect on the team as they head into their season opener on September 12 at home against Green Bay. With...

Impact playing for Team USA will have for Iguodala, Sixers

Posted by Mike Santa Barbara on August - 31 - 2010
When the Sixers took Andre Iguodala 9th overall in 2004, they drafted him in hopes he’d become the eventual face of the franchise. Since then the team has gone through it’s ups and downs. Now 6 years later, the future maybe now. Iguodala has earned a spot on the USA Basketball squad for the 2010 Worlds, something that could jump start his career. The opportunity to play with some of the NBA’s best young talent,...

Don’t measure the Eagles by the preseason

Posted by Dany Sloan on August - 29 - 2010
Taking too much stock in preseason football can make a pessimist out of even the most positive fan. This team has taken their lumps in many of the expected areas, and while the playoffs seem like a longshot this year, things are not all bad. The outcome of a season can never be based on the results of the preseason, especially when the starters only see action in six quarters over the course of four games. These games are...

Cornelius Ingram to get MRI on left knee

Posted by Dany Sloan on August - 25 - 2010
It wouldn’t be a preseason without an injury to tight end Cornelius Ingram, and almost like clockwork, he’ll be getting an MRI on his left knee this week. He missed several days of training camp and practice with a swollen calf and issues with this knee, and with an overall disappointing preseason, this almost seemed inevitable. This is the same knee that suffered an ACL tear while he was in college, and as well,...

Familiar woes among Eagles preseason problems

Posted by Dany Sloan on August - 24 - 2010
Lots of people have been talking about how bad the Eagles looked on Friday. After looking back at a few key moments and letting things fester for a few days, I agree…and disagree. The key issues remain some of the team’s classic, perennial issues – converting for a touchdown inside the redzone, penalties, and the offensive line’s inability to effectively protect the quarterback. While the team had...

More positional battles to play out in preason matchup against Bengals

Posted by Dany Sloan on August - 19 - 2010
Strictly looking at the score, last week’s preseason opener against Jacksonville was a win, but digging a little deeper, there are plenty of things the Eagles need to work on. While some of those issues may be new, many of them are long-standing ones that plague the team year-in and year-out. Tomorrow night’s matchup in Cincinnati against the Bengals will be the perfect place to address them. Phiadelphia’s...

Phillies will record 100th straight Citizens Bank Park sellout tonight

Posted by Kieran Kelly on August - 19 - 2010
Over the past few years, it’s gotten progressively harder to obtain Phillies tickets. Now, I’m not saying that they’re impossible to get, but the days of having an entire section to yourself like at the Vet are long gone. Part of this could be attributed to the bandwagoners that have jumped in with the Phillies during their recent string of successes. However, that’s going to happen when your team starts...

Samuel exits practice with hamstring injury

Posted by Dany Sloan on August - 17 - 2010
With training camp winding down, the Birds have been fortunate not to have any of their key players suffer any significant injuries. Today when All-Pro cornerback Asante Samuel left practice with a hamstring injury, there probably wasn’t any fan whose heart didn’t skip a beat. Losing this interception machine for any significant time would place a huge burden on a relatively untested secondary, and no one wants...

49ers sign Brian Westbrook

Posted by Dany Sloan on August - 16 - 2010
Although his time in Philadelphia ended months ago, a part of Brian Westbrook will always be an Eagle. While the always active rumor mill reported that he was going to end up in such places as Denver, St. Louis, and even Washington with his brother Byron and another certain former Philadelphia Eagle. Today Westbrook inked a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers for a base salary of $1.25 million which could double...

Series win against the Mets puts the Phillies in prime position.

Posted by Kieran Kelly on August - 16 - 2010
(With the Phillies on an off day, I figured it’d be a perfect time to jump back into the Phillies blogging. I’ve been a bit busy with work and dealing with a golf ball trying to replace my eyeball. I’m getting back on track. -KK) As of today, the Phillies are tied with the San Francisco Giants for the NL Wild Card and are only 2 games back of the Braves. With the schedule backloaded with games against the...
