I would like to dedicate this column to creating a dream for an Eagles fan that is not far-fetched, based in reality, and can be a catalyst for Eagle in success in 2017.
In semi-recent history the league has proven that on average there are five new playoff teams each successive year…so…
For the Director of the Adult Reconstructive Orthopedic Program at Cooper Medical Center, the path becoming a surgeon showed itself through sports.
Most kids, when they talk about what they want to be when they grow up, usually change their mind a few times before he or she find their station in life.
That was not the case with Jack Shilling.
Super Bowl 51 was arguably the great NFL title game every played.
The New England Patriots came back from a 28-3 deficit midway through the third quarter and rally for a 34-28 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons. So many Super Bowl records set and broken. Here they are…
HOUSTON: There will be weaknesses on both the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots that each team will try to exploit.
One area each team considers a strength is their respective offensive lines.
The Patriots starting five have not played for any team other than the Patriots, which would give them an ideal level of continuity.
The Falcons have Alex Mack, who is listed by former NFL lineman Brian Baldinger as the “best center in the game.” Mack, who was drafted in the first round by the Cleveland Browns in 2009, was able to, on March 2, 2016, void his contract with the Browns, making him a free agent.
It was the Spring of 2013. Chip Kelly was the new coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and as a result the Eagles were the talk of the football universe.
At this time 32 teams had their undivided attention on the upcoming draft. What would Chip do? Skilled wideout, 3-4 outside linebacker/ pass rusher, or a dual threat quarterback to operate his warped speed no-huddle option offense?
The options for the fourth overall pick was as varied as the opinions…
Conflicting messages from the academic community, sports community and even government will continue to produce Lane Johnson scenarios and even worse if real change does not happen
The Philadelphia Eagles are in the midst of a five-game losing streak captivated by the low point of their season… losing at Cincinnati by the score of 32-14. It wasn’t as close as the score indicated. At one point they looked up at the scoreboard in Paul Brown Stadium in the 3rd quarter and the score read 29-0. Ouch!
The goal every year is the same for St. Joe’s Prep coach Gabe Infante: Play into December.
It’s what the Hawks have been doing quite often over the last five years, and it’s that standard of sustained success that enables St. Joe’s Prep to top Footballstories 2016 season finale Top 20 list, out-distancing Public League powerhouse Imhotep Charter and Archbishop Wood, Prep’s Catholic League rival, for the top spot.
Allen Barbre will test his hamstring at game time in Baltimore. Matt Tobin is out as is Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Brandon Brooks is dealing with anxiety issues that have kept him out of two of last three games plus Lane Johnson is still out because of his suspension.
So Eagles rookie head coach Doug Pederson will have his hands full Sunday when the Birds face off against the Baltimore Ravens who are fighting for their playoff lives.
The Eagles 2016 season, as far as making the playoffs, has been decided. It’s over.
That happened when the Birds (5-8) dropped a hard-fought decision to the Washington Redskins (7-5-1), 27-22, at Lincoln Financial Field on a cold but clear late fall day in South Philadelphia.
Darren Sproles had 27 yards on five carries. The two-time Pro Bowl special teams player had to leave the game after Deshazor Everett, a second-year safety from Texas A&M, plowed into Sproles as he prepared to field a punt at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
