Philly Embraces Two Fallen Sports Stars
By not in system - AOL News(Dec. 7) -- In sports circles, Philadelphia has long been known for its impassioned, boisterous, and often horrifically behaved fans. Famously, they booed Santa, and they jeer visiting teams and underperforming home players with equal vehemence. As recently as this summer, a 22-year-old man was killed in a local bar brawl during a Phillies game. (I can still remember the news item I saw when I was living in the city, about a decade ago, describing a shooting death. The reason: a heated argument between two men over whether Allen Iverson or Gary Payton was the better basketball player.) And ...
Michael Vick: I'd Sign With Eagles Again
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsPHILADELPHIA -- Michael Vick has all but disappeared, since the season began, into the Eagles' multifaceted offense and Andy Reid's secret future plans for it. But he is still MIchael Vick, convicted dogfighter and NFL lightning rod. So when he said in an interview with NBC's Bob Costas on Sunday that he'd have a hard time returning to the Eagles in his current role next year, he wasn't surprised that it became big news.But on Wednesday, before the Eagles took the field for practice, Vick spoke briefly to reporters in the locker room and wanted to make it very clear that, while he'd obviously ...
Explosive Eagles Could End Up Among League's Elite Offenses
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsPHILADELPHIA -- You don't think of the Eagles along with the Saints or the Colts or the Patriots in terms of the number, the variety and the explosiveness of their offensive playmakers. Teams like that set the standard, and the Eagles don't feel like they fit into that kind of conversation. And that's fine, because they're not there yet.But if you watched the Eagles score on big play after big play Sunday afternoon against the Giants, you got the feel that they might very well be there soon. Andy Reid's Philadelphia offense remains a work in progress, but with the number of different weapons ...
Eagles, Donovan McNabb Dismantle Struggling Giants
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsNext week there will be a game between the two best teams in the NFC East, and it's not going to involve the defending division champion New York Giants. In beating the Giants to a pulp Sunday, 40-17, the Eagles -- and the Dallas Cowboys, who beat Seattle at home -- have sent the G-Men back to third place. New York has now lost three straight games, while the Eagles won their second in a row after an embarrassing loss in Oakland. Leading the way for the Eagles was Donovan McNabb, who barely broke a sweat in destroying the Giants' patchwork secondary. He completed 17-of-23 passes for 240 yards ...
Limbaugh Calls Goodell 'Total Weasel,' Would Like to Have Beer With McNabb
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsNFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was on the Hill Wednesday talking to Congress about "Legal Issues Relating to Football Head Injuries." So, naturally, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) used the forum as an opportunity to grill Goodell about Rush Limbaugh's interest in becoming part owner of the St. Louis Rams. Video after the jump, but here's all you need to know: After King warmly welcomed the commissioner he got right down to business. "...Your position on owners have the right image, and I would direct it to your statement on the 13th of October where you said, 'I think it's divisive comments, or they ...
Jeremy Maclin Helps Make Donovan McNabb's Return Easy
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsDonovan McNabb had been watching and waiting. After sustaining a broken rib in Week 1 against Carolina, McNabb watched Kevin Kolb become the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 300 yards in each of his first two starts. In Week 4, the Eagles had a bye and McNabb had to wait one more week before returning to action. Jeremy Maclin had been watching and waiting. The rookie first-rounder from Missouri didn't even see action with McNabb in Week 1. He caught six passes for 45 yards in the next two weeks, though the Eagles racked up over 700 yards through the air. He had to have been ...
Fantasy Football Cut-N-Go: Coping With The Bye Weeks
By Sean Lalley - AOL NewsCut-N-Go is Fantasy Football FanHouse's weekday roundup of the NFL news with fantasy football impact. The bye weeks are finally upon us, but relax it's no time to panic. You see, had you planned your draft accordingly you would have realized that when you drafted Matt Forte, Drew Brees and Greg Jennings they all had a bye in Week 5. OK, show of hands if you're really that on top of things. Listen, I try to cover those bases, but once the beers flow and the clock starts -- I lose focus. Regardless, we will get through this together. It's October (the best month of the year) with a glorious ...
Kiwanuka, Scott Would Not Play for Limbaugh-Owned NFL Team
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsRush Limbaugh, radio personality, has made a handsome living out of spreading his brand of conservatism. Bart Scott is an NFL linebacker, outspoken about most things, including politics. During the 2006 mid-term elections Scott, then with the Ravens, spoke about his political philosophy with USA Today's Skip Wood. "We get a break by that, but then our family members are overtaxed. You know, tax cuts for the rich. Well, it's a Catch-22. Do you want to save more of your money, when you can afford to pay the taxes, or do you want your families to save more of their money, when sometimes maybe ...
Eagles Release Jeff Garcia, Bring Back Jeremiah Trotter
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsComing off an easy victory in Kansas City, the Eagles have made a pair of roster moves involving big names. Jeff Garcia, who was brought in as quarterback depth after Donovan McNabb fell injured, has now been released. In a corresponding move, the Eagles have brought back linebacker Jeremiah Trotter for a third stint in Philadelphia. The move to release Garcia isn't all that shocking. The Eagles lost McNabb after Week 1. At the time, Michael Vick was still suspended and Kevin Kolb had never started an NFL game. Now, Vick is back and Kolb became the first player in NFL history to throw for over ...
Eagles' QB Situation Stable (For Now) With Kolb as Fill-In Starter
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsAfter watching the painful tape of Sunday's loss to the Saints, Eagles coach Andy Reid decided Kevin Kolb's performance in his first start as an NFL quarterback was even better than he first thought. "I thought he did some good things," Reid said Monday. "Can he learn from the interception on the second series of the second half? Yeah, he'll learn on that. But I thought overall he did a pretty good job, after having an opportunity to evaluate it."Which is good news at a time when the Eagles are desperate for some. If anything positive came out of the penalty-speckled egg Reid's team laid in ...
