“Bloched Bid� Arbitrator Richard Bloch ruled today in favor of the punishment handed down to outspoken and maligned wide receiver Terrell Owens by the Philadelphia Eagles.

With a full week to prepare a game plan without their biggest playmaker, the Eagles were ready to prove that they still belonged at the top of the NFC East.

It was humorous to see a man of such egotistical proportions read a written 90-second statement in an effort to apologize for six-months of wrongdoing. Unfortunately, it was too little too [...]

The soap opera is finally over, and the man who was a hero in the Superbowl, who could’ve run for mayor of our fair city and won on February 7th, will not don the midnight green again. Terrell Owens’ career as an Eagle is over and I, for one, couldn’t be happier. Andy Reid announced [...]

I don’t normally blog about work here, but this one made it to the paper, so I might as well toot my own horn a little bit (not that I had anything to do with winnning approval for this grant…but still). The federal government yesterday launched its most ambitious study ever of the health of [...]

I’m out here on the West Coast visiting my grandfather so while I won’t be surrounded by Birds fans and watching on the 60 incher I will get to see my team hopefully [...]
