So let me set the stage. Jerry Jones spends $1 billion dollars of his own money to build one of the most beautiful stadiums in America. They’ve solved a bunch a problems with the old stadium, including how to close the roof during inclement weather. Jones spared no expense to prove the point that everything’s [...]

Dhani Jones tackling the globe again
Cincinnati Bengal (and former Philadelphia Eagle) Dhani Jones will film a second season of the Travel Channel series Dhani Tackles The Globe, in which he visits other countries and participates in sports popular in those lands. (When is the exotic “hockey in Canada” episode, I wonder?) Renaissance man that he is, Jones made the announcement [...]
Sports Tweet(s) of the Week: Boldin’s blabby ex-agent
Some people don’t quite get Twitter. Okay, I don’t really get it myself, even though I dabble in it. But I digress. The idea behind it is to give your friends, family, and anyone else who cares to follow you brief updates (on your life, your interests, or whatever you want to promote). The emphasis [...]
Sports Tweet of the Week: T.O. blames Romo
With so many athletes and other sports figures jumping onto the Twitter bandwagon (and odd little stories popping up as a result), I think it’s time for a new feature: Sports Tweet of the Week. I hate using the term “tweet” for the maximum-140-character messages, but I guess I’ll have to go with the flow…and [...]
Cutler Traded… To Who? For HOW MUCH??
When Jay Cutler found out the Broncos were surreptiously trying to send him to Detroit in a trade to get 2009’s version of Scott Mitchell, I’m sure he didn’t think he was going to end up calling Soldier Field home. But that is, shockingly, what has happened. Jay has whined his way out of Denver [...]
The Curious Case of Matt Cassel
Over the weekend, the New England Patriots traded both LB Mike Vrabel and QB Matt Cassel to the Kansas City Chiefs for the Chiefs’ second round draft pick in this year’s draft, the 34th overall pick. This instantly sent shockwaves through the NFL community as Cassel was being shopped heavily as bait for the Carolina [...]
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. After [...]
NFL’s Dhani Jones tackles other sports
Dhani Jones is often referred to in the media as a Renaissance man, in part because of his love of bow ties, which he turned into a business venture. The biggest impression he made on the field as an Eagles linebacker from 2004-2006 was with his “air guitar” celebration every time he made a play. [...]
Eagles LB interning at Elle
Let’s hope his career doesn’t follow Sean Avery’s path: Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Stewart Bradley has begun an internship at Elle magazine, the Philadelphia Daily News reported Monday. The item says Bradley wanted to learn more about the fashion industry and is one of a handful of NFL players who have interned at fashion magazines. The [...]
SB XLIII: sloppy but fun
Before the Super Bowl got under way I came up with what I thought might be the typical perspective on the game coming from an Eagles fan:
Arizona wins: “I can’t believe the Steelers lost! What a bunch of chokers!”
Pittsburgh wins a close one: “Dammit, the Eagles could’ve beaten Pittsburgh — if only they had beaten [...]
T.O. jumps the shark
A sign of the apocalypse? More proof that “reality” television continues its relentless assault and won’t stop until every single brain in America is completely turned to mush? Or just a sign that his on-field career is fading and that eventually there will be no more quarterbacks to throw under the bus?
Those thoughts came to [...]
Who to hate more?
Every story deserves a good villain. Alien had an 8-foot tall monster with acid for blood… The Dark Knight had a psychotic guy with a Glasgow Smile and who dressed like a clown… Titanic had Kate Winslet who wouldn’t move on that fucking door to let Leo DiCaprio on so he wouldn’t freeze to death. [...]
NFL: 2010 Pro Bowl moves to Miami
The NFL has announced that the 2010 Pro Bowl will be played at Miami’s Dolphin Stadium on January 31, 2010 — a week before the Super Bowl is held there. It’s been played in Honolulu since 1980 and has always been held after the Super Bowl. The league says that the Pro Bowl will likely [...]
Tom Brady is off the market
Sad news for those of you in love/lust with injured New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady — unless you’re supermodel Gisele Bundchen, that is. TMZ reports that Brady proposed on Christmas Eve, and Gisele accepted. According to TMZ’s sources, he proposed in front of her parents as they were flying to Boston from Teterboro Airport [...]
NFL helping Cowboys into playoffs?
Here’s the latest sports conspiracy theory, courtesy of Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Cowlishaw: the real reason the NFL moved Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game to 4:15 ET is to help the Cowboys into the playoffs.
For the Eagles to still have a chance at the postseason, they need Tampa Bay to lose, and also need [...]
