A lot can happen in 14 years. In modern football, in any era of football, to be exact, coaches come and go in those 14 years. Players sign six and seven year deals while a majority of coaches struggle to make it past four or five. And yet, in a period where Detroit and Tampa […]
In Ruben We Trust. Hopefully. Last week ended on a pretty crazy note for Phillies fans. First, Vance Worley and Trevor May were shipped to Minnesota for young center fielder Ben Revere. It gave people plenty to talk about, whether they debated the "steep price" the team paid for a center fielder or argued over […]
Where to Watch: TV: FOX Radio: 94.1 WIP Sirius: 132 Injury Report: Preview: In a rematch of the 2002 NFC Championship game (yea, seriously), the Eagles (3-9) have traveled down to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers. The Eagles have announced that Nick Foles will be the starting QB for the rest of the season. […]
Following in GM Ruben Amaro Jr.’s footsteps, Phillies skipper Charlie Manuel made an appearance on MLB Tonight. And I've never seen a man look more uncomfortable in a suit. As is usually the case, the interview, led by Greg Amsinger, Dan Plesac, and Tom Verducci, was somewhat painful to watch. You can’t help but squirm […]

On the plus side, they didn't overpay for a center fielder […]
On my morning drive to school, my friend and I are usually tuned into Preston and Steve because, well, it’s Preston and Steve. But this morning, I happened to stumble upon Todd Zolecki, Phillies beat writer for MLB.com, being interviewed on 94.1 WIP. I’m glad I detoured my normal routine because I was able to […]
8 games. Half a season. Over 2 full months. All of this has passed since the Philadelphia Eagles last won a professional football game. In that time, we’ve seen Juan Castillo turned into a scapegoat, Nick Foles take away the starting position from an injured Mike Vick, LeSean McCoy concussed on an unnecessary play, Jason […]
On the night of Thanksgiving, the only discussion piece in the NL East was the Marlins giving up for the next 7 to 10 season. No major moves were being made. No trades were being conjured up. No Greinke. No Upton. No Hamilton. Things have changed. On Wednesday night, Atlanta won the bidding war with […]
Where To Watch: TV: ESPN/PHL 17 Radio: 94.1 WIP Sirius: 93 Injury Report (courtesy of NFL.com): Preview: Well, not exactly a showdown. More like a meeting of 1-7 high school teams. In the midst of two mind-numbing seasons, the Eagles (3-7) will match up with the Panthers (2-8) in primetime for their second Monday Night […]
