A true class move. And every Eagles fan’s favorite. It has been kind of rough to see Brian Dawkins in Broncos Blue and Orange, and while the Eagles had to push them farther away from a playoff birth, but it was good to see him back in Philly if only for an afternoon.
Wizards Guard Gilbert Arenas brings his gun to work
Posted on January 1, 2010 ·
Gilbert Arenas does the stupid: The league allows players to possess guns, but under the collective bargaining agreement, they cannot have weapons at NBA facilities. Arenas hasn’t been charged with a crime, but he could face a league fine or suspension following the investigation. After CBSSports.com broke the news of the investigation on Christmas eve, [...]
NHL Winter Classic: Flyers at Bruins
Posted on January 1, 2010 ·
More of these. Outdoor ice hockey is tailor made for HDTV. It didn’t snow on the game at Boston’s Fenway Park this year, but when it does snow, it is stunning. They should make this a double header in two different cities on New Year’s Day, much like the NBA jump starts interest in their season [...]

Hats off to the Penn State University! With two-time champion Boston College dropping out of the rankings this year, Penn State’s Nittany Lions moved up from sharing the number two spot in last year’s ranking to take over the top spot.

College Bowls not the big payday universities may expect
Posted on December 21, 2009 ·
Virginia Tech is one of the premier football programs in the Atlantic Coast Conference. They have a loyal fan base and play in a BCS conference, they usually have double digit wins and have been bowl eligible as long as BCS system has existed. So a berth in the Orange Bowl in Miami should provide [...]
Didinger: Bad tackling is a league wide problem
Posted on December 21, 2009 ·
This article on the poor quality of tackling that has become the norm around the NFL by Pro Football Hall of Fame sportswriter Ray Didinger is dead on: I study tape with NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger, and he is constantly groaning as he watches one missed tackle after another. “Poor fundamentals,” he says. “No [...]
Sunday was a day to watch football
Posted on December 21, 2009 ·
The overtimes, records broken, the lead changes, the big plays the game winning catches, the power rushing touchdowns, big hits, the playoff births clinched, the wild card races log-jammed, the streaks extended. My favorite non Eagles player is Josh Cribbs. He is having the best kick returner season in history, but he is also a [...]

Defense was a mess. Offense was high powered. The last Eagles drive was a thing of beauty.
Phanatics: Eagles at Giants

Eagles fan confession: I detest the Giants more than I detest the Cowboys. Eagles need a win tonight.
A Real Commercial that you won’t believe is real

I was at a dinner/housewarming party last night, after the DJ hero round robin stopped, the PS3 turned off, this commercial happened to be on TV: and why not another?
SNL lampoons Tiger Woods coverage in News Media
Posted on December 13, 2009 ·
Tiger Woods coverage vs. Edwards/Sanford/Ensign coverage. Which is more important? One is a golfer, the other were public officials. Which one should get more news coverage?
Pittsburgh Mayor to city’s College Students: Dude, you got 5 millie I can have?
Posted on December 12, 2009 ·
I get why the mayor of Pittsburgh wants to do this, but I don’t get why he or the City Council believes this is a good idea. Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl has given local colleges and universities an ultimatum: Offer a plan to provide $5 million a year in support to the city, or the [...]
