Reid and weep

Bygone era, time for Eagles to say goodbye to Andy Reid

The Eagles have gone from the “Gold Standard” to tin can. For 13-seasons, Philadelphia football fans were told, quite brashly, that the Eagles are what other teams inspire to be. Competitive football owner Jeffery Lurie called it. That came to a screeching halt on Sunday. As the New England Patriots embarrassed the home team Eagles …

Another 4th quarter collapse, another loss for the Eagles

Put a fork in these birds they are done.  The Cardinals embarrassed the Eagles 21-17 in front of the Philly faithful. In doing so, the Eagles set a dubious NFL record, losing their fifth game of the year after leading in the fourth quarter. This group of Eagles has come synonymous with losing, as their …

A Running Recap of the Eagles’ Biggest Game of the Season

By Sean Lerman Last night, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Dallas Cowboys 34-7. It was beautiful, splendid, and magnificent. And while the Eagles were making magic, I chronicled every important moment of the game as it happened. I like to call it a “running recap”. Get ready for some spectacularly biased opinions from a Philadelphia …

Hunter Pence Avoids Arbitration, Agrees to $10.4 Million Deal for 2012

by

Ruben Amaro continues to put the finishing touches on the 2012 Phillies. Today, he rounded out the roster by signing Juan Pierre to a minor league deal, then crossed a T by reaching an agreement with Hunter Pence on a $10.4 million salary for this upcoming season, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman. Pence, who will avoid arbitration, made $6.9 million last year, so he gets a considerable raise… and will have plenty of funds to, you guessed it, eat. He originally filed for $11.8 million arbitration, and the Phillies filed for $9 million. $10.4 million is smack-dab in the…

Phillies Sign Juan Pierre to Minor League Deal

by

The Phillies are rounding out the fringes of their roster quite nicely. Jim Salisbury reports that they will sign Juan Pierre to a minor league deal. Pierre, 34, played 158 games for the White Sox last year, batting .279 and stealing 27 bases. I love this move. Huge upside for the Phillies. It’s experienced, proven players that they were missing on their bench the last two seasons. Judging by his 27 steals, Pierre can still run (although he was thrown out 17 times). He’s also only missed 23 games in the last three seasons– so he’s healthy. And he rarely…

Scott Hartnell and Joffrey Lupul Had a Sword Fight Over a Toilet Last Night

by

Let’s go together Truth. Somehow, in the rush to get up a post about Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux trading friendly jabs last night, I missed the post-draft quotes from Hartnell and former Flyer Joffrey Lupul. And, well, let’s just say they were highlight of the night. During a TV timeout, some of the All-Stars ran backstage to take a quick hose. There wasn’t exactly much time, so, apparently, Lupul, who was an assistant captain for Team Chara, used his elevated status to cut the line, but wound up at the same toilet, or urinal, as Hartnell. Ladies and gentlemen,…

Video: Phillie Phanatic on 30 Rock!

by

Last week on 30 Rock, Liz Lemon posited that the Phillie Phanatic might really be a woman. Last night, the Phanatic was there in the flesh… or whatever. He even had a speaking part, too. Sort of. Please help me! I’m an undersea king, I must prevent my daughter’s marriage to Squid Lord! No idea what that meant. And for some reason he squeaked like a New Year’s Eve party favor. Video is after the jump. H/T to the 900 people who tweeted me about this last night and Ashley on our Facebook page for the video

Very Important Hip Hop News: Mike Richards Freestyles, Cliff Lee Mentioned in Another Rap Song

by

We’re going straight-up hood with this post. You know, if you consider white guys rapping on a pier and hockey players freestylin’ to be hood. Number one: The day Mike Richards got all Henrik Lundqvisty and tried to befriend Justin Bieber on Twitter was the day we realized that the former One Eight had officially gone Hollywood. Now he’s part of an average-at-best team whose coach was fired, rolling his eyes at teammate Jarret Stoll (we’ll get to that in a sec), and being cast in FunnyOrDie.com skits. Que? That’s right– Mike Richards… rapping. Rapping in a way that lampoons…

The Delightful Twitter Exchange Between Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux at Last Night’s Fantasy Draft

by

Last night, after Claude Giroux and Kimmo Timonen got picked relatively early in the All-Star team selections, leaving Scott Hartnell all to his lonesome and with the fear of a fat kid in a dodgeball draft, Giroux and Hartsy exchanged a few Twitter chirps, as a hockey player would probably call them. First up, G-Spot: Mr. Hartnell? 30 minutes later, Hartnell joined Giroux on Team Alfredsson. His reaction: Hockey players also like hashtags, apparently. No response from Claude, who is clearly the cool kid in this relationship (the ultimate sign of power and control is the person who can duck…
