I have been blessed to cover the Eagles for 28 seasons now. There have been some exciting seasons and some you wish you could forget. I have seen so many eras over that span including Randall Cunningham, Donovan McNabb, Brian Dawkins, Jon Runyan, Tra Thomas, Brian Westbrook, Eric Allen, William Thomas, Troy Vincent, David Akers […]
Stefen Wisniewski walked towards his locker the Tuesday after the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII, easily one of the most exciting championship games in NFL history.

That New England Patriots veteran corps includes All […]
MINNEAPOLIS: It has been talked about, probably too many times, that Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is not as good as League MVP candidate Carson Wentz. That is true if you compare their overall games. Wentz showed he is a franchise quarterback in just about every aspect of the position for the first 13 games of […]
