When is the NFL going to finally just admit that a diuretic in no way improves the performance of a player, and that even the idea of a diuretic being used to mask steroids is a rare occurrence at best? Well, the short answer is never. The NFL, while a juggernaut that could easily use its size to shape public opinion, constantly seems to be bowing to the court ...
Philadelphia Eagles: Crisis at the Cornerback Position
Posted: 11th November 2009 by Bob Cunningham in NFL
Hobbs is done after being put on I.R. on Wednesday. First, I received a text message telling me that Ellis Hobbs would be out for the season because he required surgery on his severely-injured neck; which was a bit of a shock because I'm not sure that most believed it to be that serious. Then, not a half hour later, I received another text ...
After eight weeks of the season, the Eagles are sitting at 5-3 overall with a 2-1 record in the division. It's not a bad place to be at the halfway point, but the Eagles, as well as their fans, understand that 7-1 bounced off this team's fingertips. A combined eight points between their two losses is the only thing keeping them from having complete control of the NFC East, ...
Ignorance of Eagles Fans Shines On Day After Loss

They say ignorance is bliss, but in the circle of Eagles fans it's become more of an epidemic. This city used to be populated with the most knowledgeable of fans who could back up their beliefs with real football insight and nothing but a love for the Eagles. Whether they agreed or disagreed with the coaches or management, someone could always look forward to a well-informed discussion with an ...
Reid’s Eagles Fielding the Most Perplexing Offense of the Decade
Posted: 19th October 2009 by Bob Cunningham in NFL
The only thing we really know after this game is that the Raiders are really not as good as the Eagles made them look. Well, that, and there's no way that the Eagles could possibly be as bad as they played against the Raiders. All in all, this game screams "Aberration!" This is the NFL, after all, and every team has at least one game where they let ...
There was a lot working in favor of the Eagles today.First off, Andy Reid and his teams do not lose after the bye week; coming into this game, they were 10-0 coming off the bye. Add that to the fact that they were playing the lowly Bucs, Reid was going for his 100th win, and Donovan McNabb was making his return, and you have a fairly obvious outcome.33-14 gave the ...
While it's always fun when the Eagles dominate over the course of an entire game, it loses some of its value when it's a team like Kansas City. Philadelphia and Eagles fans specifically hate a lot of people in a lot of different cities around the country, but Kansas City just is not one of those cities.Regardless of the team, it was good to see the Eagles get a much-needed ...

Eagles Sign Jeff Garcia After Losing A.J. Feeley to Carolina
Posted: 14th September 2009 by Bob Cunningham in NFL
In what could be bad news for Donovan McNabb, the Eagles have gone out and signed Jeff Garcia.
Of course Eagles fans will remember Garcia for leading the Eagles to the playoffs in 2006 after McNabb went down with a torn ACL and the season appeared to be lost.While McNabb is hurt again, these are extremely different circumstances. First of all, there's no guarantee that Garcia is even going to be ...
