Chip Kelly’s first draft, will he trade up, down or stay put?

Written by John Stanley on April 25, 2013
The Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Green Bay Packers this Sunday in an NFC Wild Card Game.

Written by Wayne Cella on April 2, 2013

The Philadelphia Flyers find themselves back in the mix for an Eastern Conference playoff spot after earning points in their last three games. Amazing the difference a week can make.

Bryzgalov a likely candidate for Flyers buyout

Written by Wayne Cella on January 10, 2013
Despite a bumpy first year, Flyers' goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov has 8 years remaining on his contract and is still due a boatload of money.

Today, I can officially lift my self-imposed no NHL embargo because the NHL and the NHLPA finally came to their senses (with the help of federal mediator Scot Beckenbaugh). It sure feels good, and now the speculation can begin. Probably the most intriguing part of this new Collective Bargaining Agreement, aside from [...]

Coach Collins should quit at end of season.

Written by John Stanley on February 27, 2013
Philadelphia 76ers' Coach Doug Collins has taken the team from laughing stock to within a game of the 6th seed in the NBA in less than a year.

Finally an honest statements about the Sixers from Coach Collins. “It’s time to take some personal responsibility” and “a day’s work for a day’s pay” two quotes that say it all about the Sixers 2012-13 season. Losers of six straight, Collins benched 4 starters for a lack of effort. The result, a beating by [...]
