The Dallas Cowboys whipped the Philadelphia Eagles, 34-14, for their first NFL playoff win since 1996 and cemented the Eagles’ rep as the most underachieving team of the past decade. The Cowboys dominated the wild card game and beat the Eagles for the second time in six days. It was a stunning turnaround; a week [...]

Eagles to fans: drop dead (again)
The Dawkins-to-Denver deal is official, and Eagles Nation takes another punch to the gut. Free agent safety Brian Dawkins, who spent his entire career with the Eagles, has signed with Denver. It’s the same old Eagles story: it’s their way or the highway. They probably offered Dawkins a one-year deal for little over the minimum. [...]
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. As wretched as they looked two weeks [...]
For sale cheap: used QB. Contact Andy Reid at…
The Donovan McNabb era in Philadelphia effectively ended today. After another dismal first-half performance (8 for 18, 59 yards, 2 interceptions, a lost fumble and a 13.2 passer rating), Eagles coach Andy Reid replaced McNabb with Kevin Kolb, their top pick in the 2007 draft. Not that it’s helped. As I write this, Kolb has [...]

McNabb’s Philadelphia Eagles tied the Cincinnati Bengals, 13-13, in the first NFL tie since 2002. It turns out, though, that McNabb, a 10-year vet, and other [...]
NFL tickets for $6.50!
I recently read an item (I think it was at philly.com) about how Eagles fans interested in seeing a road game could do so a little more cheaply. The article suggested going to Cincinnati, as the Bengals’ struggles have led some ticket-holders to put them up for sale at reduced prices. Sure enough, right now [...]
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 [...]
