The Philadelphia Eagles campaign for the Super Bowl XL title begins tonight. Here in Iggles Nation it is the beginning of an intense, 17 week frenzy of beer, football, and near-ubiquitous E-A-G-L-E-S chants. Led by Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb, with the lethal threats of Terrell Owns and Brian Westbrook behind them, and backed up [...]
Hey guys at Negadelphia! Allow comments from everyone please. It’s the Iggles Nation after all.
It can only be called a debacle at this point. Eagles training camp started on Monday and while T.O. is there he seems to be causing problems. Westbrook is holding out of camp and Corey Simon, as expected, isn’t there either. Fortunately the Inquirer is doing a fantastic job of feeding Eagles green fever with [...]
Because the media just loves a bleeder, this year’s sports coverage, when not obsessing over T.O., has focused on steroids in baseball. Congress, taking quite seriously its mantle of the world’s most deliberative body, decided that their time would be best spent investigating these media rumors. Nevermind that whole illegal war thing. Rafael Palmeiro, the [...]
Sunday, December 11th, 4:05 pm. Our beloved Iggles versus the much hated New York Giants. If Eli Manning is actually still alive after that hit that Darwin Walker put on him during last season’s opener (we’re all fairly convinced he actually died at that moment) then he’ll be there, ready to be embarrassed by Brian [...]
We didn’t expect them to win. We hoped for that improbable upset. If anyone can do it, it’s the Answer. But last night the Sixers and Iverson fell short in their quest for a championship and bowed out of the NBA playoffs after a 4-1 defeat by the defending Detroit Pistons. Iverson was a beast [...]
They are STILL talking about this stupid woman in Georgia. It’s the front story on CNN, The Daily News, and The Metro. In the US the media is ignorant and corrupt, “a de facto oligarchy ruled by entrenched plutocrats,” while in Iraq they’re simply getting attacked. Scott Young seems like he might be a very [...]
A lot of interesting stuff has been going on politically this week: Locally we’ve only got a few weeks left until the May 17th primary election. The lefty Philadelphia blogosphere is abuzz about Seth Williams who’s running for district attorney against the incumbent Lynne Abraham. You may remember LA as the DA who pressed for [...]
Some good Philadelphia sports news today. While Iverson and Webber nurse their bruised thumb and ego respectively, and something baseball related is happening in Florida, I spend my time counting down the days until Eagles season starts. Fortunately we’ll be keeping Keith Adams and hopefully putting him in as starting weakside linebacker. No more Sim… [...]
