Watching the Philadelphia Phillies slice through the competition has been a lot of fun. Watching Cliff Lee launch a game-winning Home Run over the wall at Dodgers Stadium really caps it off. This team is winning. And they're enjoying it too. It's hard not to smile when you're 76-40. I...

As DeSean Jackson arrives at Philadelphia Eagles Training Camp for the first time today and begins to answer some questions in his own personal saga, another of the Philadelphia Eagles receivers faces even more questions.

The acquisition of Jaromir Jagr had many Philadelphia Flyers fans scratching their heads last month. Granted, the move did come completely out of the blue, and it did follow two of the craziest trades in franchise history, but even in that light, it's still difficult to fathom that the once...

It hasn't been the best of years for Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt. Things started out well enough, but in Arizona one night a balky back came calling once more. It's easy to have forgotten about Oswalt, as it's not as if the Philadelphia Phillies have struggled to win without...

Driving home from work Friday evening was nothing out of the ordinary. Dealing with the annoying shore traffic, and the fact that every light was primed for red once I reached them. Whatever lane I'm not in moving as if it was a Sunday morning, that is until I get...

When Ruben Amaro Jr. sat down at the table and began to speak about what he had just done, he reminded me of an old west gunslinger. Amaro has a certain confidence about him. Some might describe him as arrogant, I'd say he is a man that knows what he...
