Hell yeah let’s go:
This is a funny way to bookend the Eagles’ preseason and regular season. It starts with Ross Tucker doing color commentary for a Tanner McKee game and ends with Ross Tucker doing color commentary for a Tanner McKee game. He knows all of the dudes who are going to be out there on Sunday. Will Shipley, Darius Cooper, and Kylen Granson. Could be a big Smael Mondon Jr. game! I’ve got Kelee Ringo picking off Josh Johnson to seal it.
Ross does a good job, and not just because he’s a Berks County guy. Shout out...

As we turn the page to 2026, we take a look at our first fugazi list of the year, or really the last fugazi list of 2025:
Micah Parsons at #2 is outrageous because in no world should a preseason trade top the Super Bowl. Sure, it dominated headlines for a few days, but we’re talking August NFL player movement. Like the Birds or hate the Birds, that was one of the all-time ass kickings in title game history. I guess neutrals didn’t think much of a boring blowout, so it doesn’t resonate as much from a national perspective.

Jeff McLane was the first to report that the Eagles are resting their starters in the Week 18 finale against Washington:
You know the situation by now. If the Eagles win at home and the Bears lose in Detroit, the Birds are the #2 seed. They would host the Packers in the opening round and get home field advantage against everybody besides the NFC West champ. If they lose to Washington, and/or Chicago wins, they’re the #3 seed, and host either San Francisco or LA in the opening round.
There were legitimate arguments to be made for both resting and...

As 2025 comes to an end, so does one of the more memorable years in Philly sports history. There were high expectations for a few of our teams, but only one reached the mountaintop and it remains to be seen if they can deliver again in 2026. At the end of each year, I like to look back at some of the biggest sports moments of the year, so let’s hit ’em:
The best thing about baseball is we have a chance to witness something historic every single night. And we witnessed history on...

Chipper to Northwestern:
Does anybody else find it curious that Chip alternates between success and failure at each consecutive job? Well, sort of. It’s a mostly consistent path if you break it out in 2-3 year blocks, going in reverse chronological order:

The ‘Boys (eliminated from playoff contention) are making moves:
Crazy how quickly things change in the National Football League. Diggs was a 2x Pro Bowler with 17 career interceptions just three seasons ago. He signed a five-year extension with $42 million guaranteed and then tore his ACL two months later, appearing in only two games. Then, in 2024 and 2025, he dealt with a groin injury, knee injury, and suffered from concussion issues, playing just 16 games in his three final Dallas seasons.
Somebody is going to take a flier on a 27-year-old, 2nd round corner who once had 11...

If you watch football, you know how ridiculously inconsistent referees are from game to game. Even though certain calls are supposed to be objective, it feels like crews make subjective calls quite often. It’s gotten so bad that conspiracy theories about sports gambling have been thrown around a lot the last few years, and I’m honestly not surprised. There are some calls, or no calls, that are very questionable at times.
Take Sunday’s Eagles/Bills game, for instance. Jalen Hurts escaped three Bills defenders and scrambled for a few yards before clearly heading out of bounds. That didn’t stop cornerback Cam...

The Philadelphia Eagles have clinched a postseason for the fifth consecutive season under Nick Sirianni.
Sunday’s victory over the Buffalo Bills improved his career record to 59-25 (70.2 win percentage) in the regular season, which ranks fifth all-time among NFL head coaches. Sirianni was feeling himself in New York and was not shy about letting everyone know it as he walked to the locker room:
Sirianni is never going to be everyone’s cup of tea as a personality. He embodies the “no one likes us, we don’t care” mentality and is not shy to put it on display. You don’t...

You’ve heard it, haven’t you? “The Eagles don’t want to play the Rams in the first round of the playoffs.” Some version of that. Matt Stafford is a grizzled vet and they gave the Eagles hell twice at Lincoln Financial Field over the past calendar year. They have the greatest offense the world has ever seen and they’re going to be a nightmare.
Then they go out on Monday Night Football and lay a stinker against the 6-9 Atlanta Falcons, losing 27-24 and putting in a Sirianni-esque offensive performance. Only in this case, their offense was nonexistent in the first...

After being upset by the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, the Los Angeles Rams remain one of three possible teams the Eagles will face on Super Wild Card Weekend. The San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers are the two other possibilities, and I think out of those three, most of us would prefer a date with the Packers.
But heading into the final week of the season, there remains a question as to whether the Eagles should play their starters or rest them with NFC seeding still up in the air. If the Eagles beat the Commanders and the...

After sixty minutes of football in the unforgiving elements in Buffalo, the destiny of this Eagles season emerged clearer than ever.
The defense remains an elite unit that is playing at the high level required to make a return trip to the Super Bowl. They have consistently shut down, or at least contained, many of the league’s best quarterbacks and most dynamic offenses. Unfortunately, the one offense they can’t control is the one with which they share a sideline. And it’s the maddening mediocrity of that group that will send Philadelphia home early in January. Unless something changes, of course....
