Joe Hickman Jr. 08:20 am | Tweet Well, the dust has settled some since Sam Hinkie pulled more moves out of his data base that sent ripples through the NBA community. I will give Hinkie and the Sixers this much, he has made them the most popular/worst teams EVER talked about. People can’t resist chiming in. Either blasting Hinkie…

GarryCobb 12:30 pm | Tweet The Eagles are releasing veteran guard Todd Herremans today according to multiple reports.  It’s not much of a surprise since he’s getting up there in the years and he missed eight games last year with a torn bicep muscle.  When he did play in 2014 season, he didn’t play particularly…

GarryCobb 04:47 pm | Tweet I spent the weekend with the 35 linebackers, who are likely to be selected in this year’s NFL Draft.  My job along with another former NFL linebacker, Ed Reynolds, was to talk to the group of young linebackers about being a professional.  We interacted with them and talked to them…

Denny Basens 12:03 am | Tweet Between now and the draft, we’re going to see about a million different reports that state how badly Eagles’ head coach Chip Kelly wants to reunite with Marcus Mariota, and would be willing to do whatever it takes to go up and get him. Making a move to get higher up…

GarryCobb 07:09 am | Tweet I’m in Indianapolis for the NFL Combine and I got a close look at the wide receivers in this year’s draft and there are some good ones.   There’s great size and speed amongst this group and it’s probably the most talented position again this year like it was a…

Jeff Kolsky 06:27 am | Tweet Why not pencil in Brandon Boykin as a starting cornerback for the 2015 season? The answer is because he is the “nickel” only guy, he can’t “size up” with the bigger receivers in the league due to his height. Chip Kelly has said on multiple occasions that he won’t even tinker with…

Denny Basens 10:11 pm | Tweet It seemed as though the NBA trade deadline was going to pass by without much going down. The 76ers made a move earlier in the day to acquire a first-round pick in exchange for taking JaVale McGee off of the Denver Nuggets’ hands, at around 2:45 with the deadline only 15…

Denny Basens 02:50 pm | Tweet The Eagles have parted ways with veteran tight end James Casey, the club announced on Thursday afternoon. Casey, a talented offensive weapon, was underutilized during his two years with the Eagles. He struggled to find playing time with both Brent Celek and Zach Ertz ahead of him on the depth chart,…

Denny Basens 12:42 pm | Tweet The NBA’s trade deadline is quickly approaching, and Sixers’ general manager Sam Hinkie has already been active as he continues his never-ending quest to acquire future assets. The Sixers are reportedly close to a deal with the Denver Nuggets that will send center JaVale McGee and a 2016 first-round pick to…

Jeff Kolsky 06:27 am | Tweet It would be wise for the Eagles to apply the franchise tag on Jeremy Maclin for the 2015 season. Guarantee he is part of the offense, but allow “options” moving forward. Maclin played last season with a “prove it” mentality, and the franchise tag would essentially put him in the same predicament. Show…
