Where’s Kyle Eckel ?
After weeks and weeks of watching the pathetic running game of the Philadelphia Eagles, I would like to pose one question. Where’s Kyle Eckel ? The former All American Fullback out of the Naval Academy and graduate of Philadelphia’a Episcopal Academy, Eckel has yet to run the ball. Coach Andy Reid continues to use [...]
THE “Bank” Takes The Loud Out Of The Crowd
The World Series is finally over and congratulations to the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies. I attended several post season games and the fans were really into the games.
Yes, it was loud inside Citizen’s Bank Park, but not as loud as when the team played across the driveway at Veteran’s Stadium. That, my friends was loud, real [...]
“THE CATCH”
On May 14, 2006 I wrote this letter to sportsletters@phillynews.com. It is in reference to the catch that former Phillie Aaron Rowand made while crashing into the fence at Citizen’s Bank Park.
Yes indeed, Aaron Rowand did make a great “PLAY” last week against the Mets when he caught the ball and then broke his [...]

PHILLIES FALSE FACT !!!
If I heard it once I heard it a thousand times: why did former Phillies manager Jim Fregosi take Roger Mason out of Game 6 of the 1993 World Series and replace him with Mitch Williams?
That, my friends, is one of the biggest misconceptions in Philadelphia sports history. Yes, Roger Mason was taken out of [...]
Sixers Blew It In Not Recognizing Iverson’s Return
Shame on the Sixers organization — and also the Wachovia Center — for downplaying Allen Iverson’s return to Philly.
The doors didn’t open until 6 p.m., their usual opening time, but for a game of this magnitude and thousands of fans outside the arena 45 minutes earlier, standing in the rain, an exception should have [...]
THE LITTLE MAN RETURNS
Former Sixer star Allen Iverson will return for the first time as an opposing player at the Wachovia Center on Wednesday, March 19. The much anticipated arrival of one of the greatest Sixers of all time should fill the South Philly building for one of the few times during this NBA season. “The Little Man,†as this [...]

Kudo’s To ESPN’S Dana Jacobson For Her Notre Dame Comments
Dana Jacobson the co-host of ESPN’S First Take, was suspended for her comments about Notre Dame at a Roast in Atlantic City for ex ND player Mike Golic.
So what she threw out some expletives towards Touchdown Jesus and coach Charlie Weiss. First of all, TD Jesus is name given to the Statue years ago by the [...]
