The Inquirer’s Kevin Tatum reports that the hapless 76ers skipped the team’s usual film session because there was no need to rehash the 102-78 full-on beatdown the team received at the hands of the world champion Boston Celtics. What? So you’re telling me the 76ers don’t need to see just how they were crushed...

During a phone interview with 610 WIP while driving to North Carolina to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, the Phillies’ exceptional (a least during the last third of the season and the playoffs) eighth-inning reliever Ryan Madson, did not sound too enthused to be with the Phillies for the next 3-4 years. When asked about...

Looks like taxpayers from every city in the land will have to foot the bill for the monstrosity the Mets will be calling their new home in 2009 as Citigroup, the stadium’s title sponsor, has asked the federal government for a $326 billion bailout.

The ex-quarterback of your Philadelphia Eagles, Donovan McNabb was pulled after an awful first half against the Baltimore Ravens as watched the Birds get their ass kicked 36-7 – from the sideline. McNabb was 8-for-18 for 59 yards with two interceptions and a fumble in the first half -a 13.2 quarterback rating. Rich Hoffman...

Philly SportsCast #156 – November 20, 2008 I understand that the only thing worse than watching that terrible, pathetic, lackluster game again is hearing anyone talk about it. However, there are points to be made. What are they? We have no idea. Dave and I are a lot of things, but we’re not sadists...

I get very little satisfaction watching or hearing NFL Hall of Famer Ray Didinger talk about football. While I fully understand that the cat has forgotten anything I will ever know about the game and its players, I just don’t get him as an Eagles pundit. Maybe its because he doesn’t yell and scream...

To all of you that miss the forums of old, I humbly present the New Philly SportsCast forums. As you may or may not know, I had to toss the old forums because there was way too many abuses going on and the fun -for me at least – was gone. This forum should...

I am unsure what is worse – The Eagles’ 13-13 tie with the pathetic Cincinnati Bengals or the fact that the team’s starting quarterback – Smiling Donovan McNabb – did not know that the overtime perios ends after 15 minutes – regardless if either team scores. Our ten-year veteran quarterback thought the game would...

Leave it up to the Las Vegas Review Journal to let us all know just how desperate the Eagles are and that they they need to start playing like a playoff team if they have any desire to make the postseason. It’s the middle of November, and Philadelphia (5-4) must start finishing games or...

It is with a very heavy heart that I find out that the venerable blog bashing sports reporters and broadcasters for their glaring obtuseness, Fire Joe Morgan, has folded up shop. I can’t tell you how many laughs dak, Junior, and Ken have given me – but I can tell you this joint will...

Philly SportsCast #155 – November 13, 2008 There are times when you just have to say, “What the fuck.” That is the sentiment Dave and I seem to be taking when it comes to our beloved Eagles and the team’s head coach. Yeah the Birds are in a sad-as-shit state and we are, quite...

I have been thinking about Andy Reid for a while now. Even before this blown game against the Giants, I’ve been wondering when exactly the ax would fall. I now declare that Reid is officially done in this town. I cannot predict when this will happen as Reid is a golden son to Birds’...

After taking that quick lead on a nice touchdown run by DeSean Jackson, the Eagles looked awful during the next quarter or so and allowed 17 unanswered points. The Birds certainly weren’t helped by the referees or even their own coaching, as commenters here were calling for Reid’s job before the game was even...
