FOR DR. SHILLING, A LIFE OF MEDICINE WAS ALWAYS IN THE CARDS

Al Thompson

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.

BOTH SUPER BOWL TEAMS WILL FIELD GREAT OFFENSIVE LINES: ALSO, A PREDICTION

Al Thompson

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.

FOR LANE JOHNS0N IT IS SIMPLE: STAY ON THE FIELD AND BE THE BEST

Brian Baldinger

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…
