Every year, at the Super Bowl, the two best teams in the NFC and AFC clash for a chance at becoming champions of the whole NFL. Just like any other football game, they are sometimes predictable, they are sometimes upsetting, and they are sometimes amazing. Today weâre looking at the seven greatest NFL championships in the history of the league, …
Taking a Wide Receiver with the 6th pick would represent a fundamental misunderstanding of how football games are won and lost. Thanks to the late-game heroics of Nate Sudfeld, the Eagles enter the 2021 NFL Draft with the 6th overall pick. Since 1999 the Eagles have only been poised to draft a star this early four other times, nabbing Pro …
As Dr. Fauci can attest, the greatest calamity the world has suffered through this year has been, without a fraction of a doubt, the NFC East divisional race. The champion will either be 7-9 or 6-10, miraculously hosting a playoff game against a team that assuredly won double-digit games. Needless to say, we all lost this year. Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, …
No one reads Matthew Berry’s Love/Hate for the anecdotal openings. ARIZONA CARDINALS Kenyan Drake is a top 10 running back: Drake finished 2019 atop the Arizona depth chart, and, after seeing David Johnson shipped to Houston, finds himself steering the ship once again. In games where Drake saw 10 or more handoffs, the former Dolphin averaged 18.06 points per game. …

This goes in opposition to breaking the bank, which was what teams thought Clowney was trying to do at the start of Free Agency. âHeâs going to be interested in Philadelphia because one of the …
In 2010 a friend and I snuck into the Diamond Club at Citizens’ Bank Park during a Phillies-Reds game. We berated Joey Votto with insults during each walk back to the dugout in a 4 strikeout night for the eventual NL MVP. After his fourth swing and a miss, he stormed back to the bench, but not before chucking his …
It is no secret that the 2020 Eagles have tough position matchups. Among these position battles, the Eagles’ secondary is set to face many challenging wide receiver corps. Under Jim Schwartz, the Eagles defense has struggled at times to slow down the opposition’s passing game. Last season, the Eagles ranked 19th in passing yards allowed per game, letting opposing offenses …
Michael Jordan’s 10-part documentary came to a conclusion, capturing the entire glory of the 1998 Chicago Bulls. The final episodes, in particular, were eye-opening, as they brought more light to Jordan’s infamous “flu game” – the time when MJ played game 5 of the NBA finals with what’s said to be food poisoning. Jordan dropped 38 points that night in …
It doesnât matter how you look when you win, right? Wrong. Teams who historically succeed are much slower to change their jersey design. Just ask the New York Yankees, whose pinstripes have set the bar in baseball, both in fashion and World Series titles. Be it the Montreal Canadiens (24 Stanley Cups), Boston Celtics (17 NBA Titles), or Los Angeles …
