Eagles look like a shell of last years Super Bowl team.

(Photo Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons) After a 2-3 start, it’s really now or never for this Eagles team.

Red Sox-Yankees to end my baseball boycott

(Photo Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons) Boycott is probably a little dramatic. The Phillies did their best to sour me on the game of baseball for the rest of the season.

Eagles continue to win in ugly fashion

Eagles continue to win in ugly fashion

(Photo Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons) In the NFL, ugly wins count just the same as thirty point blowouts. It is not college football where a committee sits at the end of the season to see how much you beat Pitt and Kent State by. The Eagles won, they are 2-1 and you can’t take that…MORE
