The Super Bowl is Upon Us…
The 2010 Super Bowl is upon us and looks to be a true match-up of the best two teams in the NFL from this season. With arguably the two best quarterbacks squaring off, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, this game could go down in the record books as one of the best. Fact: This is the second time in NFL history that the #1 and #2 overall rated quarterbacks have squared off in the super bowl. The last two to do it: Mark Rypien and Phil Simms. I usually don't like to bet on the Super Bowl because it's a tough game to call, but this year I might have to get in on the action. Ya know, give me that extra incentive in pulling for someone this year. Keep me on the edge of my seat. This years Super Bowl odds currently stand with Indy being a 5 point favorite, but I'm sure that will change as we near kickoff Sunday evening. Speaking of odds, I usually do my Super Bowl betting over ...
Dave Spadaro Spits on Jerry’s Star, Later Apologizes
Dave Spadaro, the main voice for Eagles management to the media, is front and center of the Philadelphia sports world today as his personal videotape of him spitting loogies onto the Dallas Cowboys star were published on the teams website earlier in the week. The video, shown below, was promptly taken down after everyone, besides Spadaro apparently, realized the indecency and unprofessionialism of the video. While on my drive in this morning the talk on 97.5 The Fanatic was that Spadaro could potentially lose his job over this bonehead move. We all remember that Eagle brass has been known to fire people for much less when they allegedly fired a lower level employee for simply down talking the Eagles after a loss on his Myspace page.
DeSean Jackson Rips McNabb on Radio Show
While driving across the city last night I was fortunate enough to catch the DeSean Jackson Radio show 'LIVE from the Philadelphia airport' for the first time ever. Interesting intro to say the least. DeSean seemed to be in a decent mood after the Eagles sloppy and mind-boggling loss to the lowly Oakland Raiders Sunday evening. However he did have a few comments for his fellow teammates that I'm sure he hasn't told them in person yet. When asked by Brian Seltzer about what happened at the end of the first half when Donovan used a timeout the Eagles didnt have, DeSean had this to say: Donovan needs to be better aware of the clock in that situation and know where we stand as far as timeouts. DeSean went on to explain that play call was for a wildcat formation and everyone was a little bit iffy as to who was supposed to be in and where. Michael Vick ended up going out in motion with DeSean in the slot and before McNabb knew it, the play clock ...

Not everyone is ready to forgive Eagles’ Vick
Nearly 100 of them were out there, yelling, carrying signs. More people protested against Michael Vick on the night when he was one of 32 NFL players receiving an Ed Block Courage Award than at any single event during his season with the Eagles.

Vick met by protesters in Baltimore
Michael Vick is unsure of his future with the Eagles. Wherever the quarterback lands next season, he’s likely to face protests similar to the one he confronted yesterday. On the day the Eagles officially picked up his $1.5 million roster bonus, Vick was here to receive the Ed Block Courage Award. His presence and what some viewed as an undeserved award - in light of his dogfighting crimes - drew... [Read more]
Former Colts safety Marlin Jackson visits Eagles
Finally, a free-agent visit. The Eagles apparently see Marlin Jackson as a free safety, and there seems to be a pretty good chance that Jackson will be signed by the time he is scheduled to meet with reporters today at 11 a.m. at NovaCare. (Though at least one report indicates a pending visit with the Jets.) Yes, he’s the Colts cornerback with the anterior cruciate ligament injuries each of the... [Read more]

McNabb is the king of generating Philly talk
ON JAN. 26 of this year, in an upset of epic proportions, Chase Utley’s photo appeared on the back page of this newspaper the same day a story comparing Donovan McNabb and Brett Favre appeared inside. There are few things more certain in our world than writing about McNabb one day and seeing his image on the back page the next. Death. Taxes. Outrage over Rollie Massimino ditching the Big 5 any...

Bucs acquire WR Reggie Brown from Eagles
As suitors for wide receiver Antonio Bryant began to gather Monday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took their first step toward replacing the dispatched playmaker. In their first move of the free-agency signing period, the Bucs traded a sixth-round draft pick in 2011 to the Philadelphia Eagles for former starting receiver Reggie Brown. Brown, 29, has 177 catches for 2,574 yards and 17 touchdowns in his career,... [Read more]
