GarryCobb 03:55 pm | Tweet I felt I needed to comment on the dustup involving Eagles quarterback Michael Vick which occurred last week.  He was on Mike Missanelli’s 97.5 The FAN radio show, when he was confronted with the criticism that he holds onto the football too long and takes too long to read the…

GarryCobb 08:36 am | Tweet I don’t remember exactly what music was playing when I walked into practice, but the music seemed to start kind of mellow then it built a tempo as the practice went on yesterday.  It was a different selection to what we heard last week, more old school stuff.   “You…

Denny Basens 09:54 pm | Tweet The Philadelphia Phillies lost the first game of their series with Miami, falling 5-1 to the Marlins. Their record drops to 21-23.

GarryCobb 07:30 pm | Tweet Eagles quarterback Nick Foles worked out with the first team offense today at practice and Michael Vick worked out with the second team.

Denny Basens 11:45 am | Tweet Eagles quarterback Michael Vick spoke to 97.5, and discussed his issues with ball security. “The other day, I broke out in the pocket, and the first thing Chip told me was to tuck the football,” Vick said.  “So I showed him how I was running with it, and he looked at…

Jeff Kolsky 09:17 pm | Tweet What do our eyes see now?  Have they become victim to a mirage of images from the past; a 2010 collection of highlight reel throws and elusive runs.  That season did end in an underthrown ball in the end-zone to exit the playoffs; but the Eagles saw enough to cut…

Denny Basens 08:41 pm | Tweet The Philadelphia Phillies won the finale of their series with the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday afternoon 3-2. Their record improves to 21-23. Down by two runs in the eighth inning, it seemed as though the Phillies were on their way to their second straight shutout. However, the team rallied for three…

Josh Janet 06:32 pm | Tweet Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds, Matt Read and Luke Schenn were four of the marquis players from the Philadelphia Flyers that participated in the 2013 IIHF World Championship. As members of Team Canada, none of them returned home with any hardware. It was defenseman Erik Gustafsson and Team Sweden who won the gold…

Jeff Kolsky 10:10 pm | Tweet The retirement of a player’s jersey number should symbolize that not only were they elite at the position; but whose presence was an embodiment of the city he played for.  This individual should be reflected upon as a player who modified and advanced how the game was played.  Their contributions…

Denny Basens 10:06 pm | Tweet The Philadelphia Phillies won the first game of their series against Cincinnati, taking down the Reds 5-3. Their record improves to 20-22.
