Eagles LB Merry Go Round
Posted on 3 Aug 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Omar Gaither knows the way things work with the Eagles' linebackers. His next opportunity could come any day. For Akeem Jordan, that day was Sunday. Week 1 Starting LBs Under Reid: 1999: James Darling-Jeremiah Trotter-William Thomas 2000: Mike Caldwell-Jeremiah Trotter-Carlos Emmons 2001: Mike Caldwell-Jeremiah Trotter-Carlos Emmons (whoa, no change!) 2002: Shawn Barber-Levon Kirkland-Carlos Em...

PHIGHTIN’ PHILS RELOAD: DEADLINE DEALS & RETURNING STARS
Posted on 31 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
What do Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Joe Blanton, Pedro Martinez, Jamie Moyer and Roy Oswalt all have in common? Well aside from the fact that they have each worn Phillies pinstripes over the past 3 seasons, these are the net results of deals by the Phils front office to spur this amazing playoff run. 2007-2009 seasons have seen the Philies collect 3 NL East titles (2007 was the Phils first NL East...

IT’S (NOT) ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA: 2010 Training Camp Preview III
Posted on 27 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Welcome to the third and final installment of Training Camp Preview. Be sure to review my previous two articles involved in this trilogy. Training camp begins today in Lehigh for the Philadelphia Eagles with more question marks than at any time over the past 12 years. Among these questions would be Kevin Kolb at QB, signing of first round pick Brandon Graham and second round pick Nate Allen (&#...

MODEST PROPOSAL: MLB vs. MAGELLAN
Posted on 22 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Commissioner Selig named a 14-person “special committee for on-field matters” in 2009. Call it a “study group,” “think tank” or a “ship of fools” the idea itself makes sense. What has come out of this committee has been preposterous. The purpose was to continually be in review of methods to improve the quality of the game of major league baseb...

PHILLIES: TO TRADE OR NOT TO TRADE? BUY OR SELL?
Posted on 21 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
As the Major League Baseball trading deadline approaches, speculation abounds. Every video game player thinks that all trades are possible and that every GM can gauge their potential return on investment instantly through the magic of Playstation. Well, while that may not be true, every GM is burning the proverbial candle at both ends, trying to determine what deals are possible AND whether or ...

MLB All-Star Game: World’s Fair to Historical Footnote
Posted on 20 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
In 1933 it began as a corollary to the Chicago World's Fair (“television” would be displayed at the 1939 World's Fair along with jet packs and the grandparent of the microwave oven), showcasing the most talented players from the 16 Major League baseball teams. America's Pastime was on display. Carl Hubbell struck out five of the game's most feared hitters - Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, S...

It’s (Not) Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Posted on 20 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Training camp begins next week in Lehigh for the Philadelphia Eagles with more question marks than at any time over the past 12 years. Among these questions would be Kevin Kolb at QB, doubters of Howie Roseman's qualifications to be GM of an NFL team (see previous article), the Michael Vick Situation, Sean McDermott & the Defense, the offensive line, the secondary, Andy Reid's effectiveness...

Tim McCarver compares Yankee front office to Communists and Nazis for not sufficiently worshipping Joe Torre
Posted on 20 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
I'll admit I have not seen a FOX broadcast of a Major League Baseball regular season game in years. I did not see Saturday's FOX game live but I'm sad that I didn't, because it might have been the death knell for long-suffering broadcaster Tim McCarver. I first encountered McCarver as a Mets broadcaster but also knew him as a Phillies catcher years before. The problem being that McCarver has go...

Howie Roseman, Eagles: Intern to Eagles GM
Posted on 19 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
It took 10 years. Howie Roseman graduated from Fordham Law School and wrote letters to NFL franchises, insisting that he belonged in the NFL. Joe Banner, President of the Philadelphia Eagles, decided to bring Roseman in to assist with salary cap issues. There was no salary for Roseman (he was an unpaid intern), nowhere to put him (they didn't even offer him a desk) but at the age of 24, Howie...

Training Camp Preview: Eagles Must Get Defensive Quickly
Posted on 16 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
The Eagles used virtually all of their 2010 draft picks on defensive players (9 of 13 total picks). Set aside the fact that these 13 picks were the most for the Eagles since 1994 and the most in the 2010 draft among all teams) because all Eagles fans (not to mention Andy Reid & Howie Roseman) knew that the team had many holes to fill. The McNabb Era is over, but more attention should be dra...

2010 Philadelphia Phillies – Please Stand Up!
Posted on 14 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
At the All-Star Break the Phillies are 47-40, four and a half games behind both Atlanta and New York Mets in National League East (fighting Mets for lead in Wildcard race). Are we as a fan base panicking? Maybe some are. Should we be? No. There are approximately 80 games remaining in which anything can happen. Anything such as a four-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds including 3 straight extra ...

Posted on 13 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
700 Million viewers across the globe watched the Spain-Netherlands World Cup Final match on Sunday. Does this finally prove that “soccer” (or what the rest of the world calls football) is becoming a legitimate sport in the United States? As many Americans watched the 2010 World Cup final as watched the NBA Finals, Olympic Hockey or the BCS Championship – yet most Americans are...
