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

Posted by David Foley on October - 15 - 2009
After five weeks of the 2009 season the Eagles are 3-1 and have already had to face their share of adversity.

Without further ado, here’s a breakdown of the good, the bad, and the ugly so far for the Birds. The Good - Desean Jackson may have had a slow Week 5, but on the whole he has been everything...

Brian Westbrook: Underrated?

Posted by David Foley on October - 14 - 2009
SI.com posted a players’ poll about who the most underrated players in the league are. Surprisingly, Brian Westbrook made the list at #8, getting 2% of the votes. A few things to ponder: first, how the hell is Drew Brees underrated? (He was #2 with 5.8% of the tallies.) The same people who think Brees doesn’t get the recognition he deserves also think the media doesn’t do a good enough job kissing Barack...

Guess what? The Sixers are 4-0 in the preseason.

As Shane Vic would say, “F*ck yeah Phillies!”

Posted by Kieran Kelly on October - 12 - 2009
This Phillies team sure has a way with words don’t they? After Chase Utley uttered the unforgettable “World f*cking Champions!” after last season’s World Series parade, Shane Victorino stepped up to the plate to give us the 2009 version of WFC. In the top of the 9th, with Ryan Howard at bat, Jimmy Rollins at 3rd and Chase Utley at 1st, RyHo hit a fly ball to center that was deep enough for Rollins to...
