Eagles to fans: drop dead (again)
Eagles: There they go again?
If you were as surprised as I was by the Philadelphia Eagles’ run to the NFC East title in 2006, winning their last 5 games with Jeff Garcia at quarterback in place of the injured Donovan McNabb, brace yourselves: an even more shocking sequel may be in store.

Sure enough, right now on [...]
Some Philly tidbits
I’m pressed for time (headed to a softball tournament in Washington, DC this weekend) so here is a quick summary of some things I was planning to write about…
Drought update: The Phillies’ 3-2 win over the LA Dodgers gives them a 1-0 lead in the National League Championship Series. This is the 18th time since [...]
