USA Falls Short at World Juniors, But Riemer Shines
When Team USA faced Canada in the World Junior Hockey Championship on New Year's Eve, the Americans were riding high and looking for an upset over essentially the home team of the tournament. USA hung in there for awhile, leading the Canadians early, but they couldn't hold on, and after losing ...

Nice Little Rivalry Brewing Between Flyers and Washington Caps
As part of one of my MBA classes at GWU in the fall of 2007, we had to work with the Capitals to come up with a plan to help encourage students to purchase super cheap tickets to Caps games. In our research, we attended a number of Caps games at the $10 student rate and learned that nobody ...

All Aboard! Eagles Bandwagon Popular, For Now
It's usually nice when everybody wants to talk about our teams.  In the case of the Eagles, it's been bittersweet. The much maligned Andy Reid & Donovan McNabb Show has amazingly guided us back from a mid-season collapse right into the heart of the playoffs, and they deserve ...

Disney On Ice Booted by Thad & the Andres
Is this that turnaround point the Sixers have been shooting for? Maybe that's a tad premature, but they are making a little noise lately and the offense has been clicking much better than it was. After beating the Clips in LA, they dropped a clunker to the Mavs, but then damn near came way back ...

Tempers Flare: Flyers @ Red Hot Caps
Martin of digidigidigi fame drops by to offer up tonight's game thread. "Look at us now, busted up and everyone talking about hard rain.  But we've learned by the dust of 'em all, Barter-town's learned.  Now when men get to fighting, it happens here and it finishes ...

The Phillies Have "Spoken"
And they've said a whole lot of nothing. In a call with reporters , Ruben Jr. and Scott Proefrock blew a lot of wind. There was maybe one answer that added some new information. On their still being a possibility of JC appealing the suspension, "Not that I'm aware of," Proefrock said. "That ...

 Free JC -- The Tee Shirt
Free JC -- The Tee Shirt
You ask for it and we deliver. After hearing the horrible news last night of J.C. Romero's 50 game suspension due to "negligence," we went and created these tee shirts which you can purchase right here to show your support for the winner of games ...
More On Romero's Suspension
Phil Sheridan has a follow up to the initial ESPN report and boy does it just make you angrier. Not at Romero but at the way it appears MLB handled the whole situation.

 J.C. Romero Suspended 50 Games for Using Questionable Banned Substance
J.C. Romero Suspended 50 Games for Using Questionable Banned Substance
Wow. Huge blow to the Phillies first 50 games next season and the career of a possibly innocent man. While Major League Baseball never said J.C. Romero tried to cheat, the 33-year-old reliever who won the third and clinching games of the 2008 World ...
Video: Parker's Game Winner Over Sixers
The Sixers gave the Spurs a run for their money on Saturday night and had the ball in a tie game with under 30 seconds to go. Unfortunately, they turned the ball over and gave the Spurs the chance to create some magic. I can't say I watch all of the Sixers games, but from what I've seen, they ...

Pat Burrell Signs with Tampa
It's official , Pat Burrell has signed with the Tampa Bay Rays pending a physical. I did my farewell of sorts to The Bat back when the Phils signed Ibanez, so feel free to get out your Kleenex and stroll down memory lane. I'm worried a bit about Pat in terms of the lack of night life in Tampa ...

Report: Rays Close to Deal With Burrell
We knew it'd come, but it was going to hurt when he heard the news either way. The Rays, filling their need for a power hitter, are close to signing free-agent Pat Burrell to a two-year, $16 million contract, according to major-league sources.  ...

Some Redemption for Reid and a Few Birds
If we're going to point the finger around here, we must also shower the deserving with praise when it's their time.  Andy Reid's gameplan against the Vikings will likely linger in the shadows left by the many stellar performances that made the Eagles win possible, but it wouldn't be ...

Awesome Photo: Poor Tarvaris
Photo of the aftermath of the killer hit Chris Clemons put on Tarvaris Jackson ( video of it here ) from the Eagles official photo gallery from the game. It's almost as good as the Romo head in hands shot.

 Eagles Beat Vikings to Earn Trip to New York
Eagles Beat Vikings to Earn Trip to New York
From an ugly 16-14 ball game to a wild card win in the blink of a Brian Westbrook screen. Credit to the Vikings defense who kept 36 and the rest of the Eagles offense in check for most of the game, but one beautifully executed screen pass -- how bout those downfield blocks! -- and on to New York!
Eagles Playoff Gameday 2009: The Game We Thought Would Never Happen
I keep hearing people talk about the Giants next week, and all I can think is that we might be looking past this game.  The Vikings are a team you could say flew under the radar this year, despite notching ten wins.  They didn't earn their playoff berth until week 17, and the most ...
