As I watched my beloved Eagles dominate the Giants yesterday, a myriad of thoughts rushed through my head. Should I book my flight to Tampa? Is Eli really missing a chromosome? But the one that stood out the most was that in order to win, you gotta stuff it up the middle. I learned the […]
To all of you who have emailed me regarding the Utah situation: shut the fuck up. Must I remind everyone that they’re preaching about a team from the Mountain West Conference? The Runnin’ Rebels, the Lobos, the Horned Frogs…what is this, intramural softball? When the Utes barely beat New Mexico, no one made a fuss. […]
Sure, we all learned our lesson about “making it rain” when Pacman went a little too far in Vegas last February. But these latest allegations, I just don’t understand. Lemme get this straight – my boy didn’t shoot nobody, right? And is it a crime to tell someone to keep their hands off your lady? […]
Tonight’s championship game pits the two best quarterbacks in the land against each other – Tebow vs. Bradford. The last time a matchup of this magnitude occurred, it was during the spring semester of my senior year at Arizona. Our fraternity was hosting its annual “pimps ‘n’ hoes” theme party, and one of my pledges […]
Dear Charles, You just love criticizing people, don’t you? Sitting up in your ivory tower at TNT, in between dominating the catered buffet and playing grab-ass with Ernie Johnson, you think you can tell everyone how to live their lives. First, you lambast Auburn University for their failure to hire an African-American as their head […]
I’ve never understood why fans get so upset when their team is labeled the underdog. So far, in the 12 major bowl games, the “underdogs” have a record of 9–3. In fact, the only game in which the favorite outplayed their opponent was when USC dominated Penn St. in the Rose Bowl. Having studied the […]
Every Sunday night, after putting on my Randall Cunningham pajamas, I toss and turn as images of yet another frustrating Eagles performance run through my head. I’m up all night pacing throughout the house, sometimes even trying to calm my nerves with a glass of warm milk. On Monday morning, it’s more of the same […]
Football is a game that takes raw speed, brute strength, and the willingness to sacrifice your body. But despite being such a physical sport, if you aren’t using your head on the field of play, it doesn’t matter how athletic you are. So as JC trains Darnell Goodman, trying to get him back into game-shape, […]
Now that the Dolphins are heading to the postseason, everyone’s talking about the re-emergence of formations like the Spread HD and Wildcat in the NFL. And I’m sure there will be other bandwagaon jumpers to follow. But I pose a question to Dolphins’ owner Wayne Huizenga, and his chunky partner in crime, Bill Parcells: are […]
Being a highly respected OBGYN, I’m not one to believe in Santa Claus or Christmas Miracles. But this year, with my beloved Eagles needing the gifts of all gifts, I decided to roll up the scrubs and take one for the team. Not only did I draft a hand written letter to Santa asking for […]
I’m gonna say it upfront: Darnell Goodman is a fan of Shaun Ellis. Sure, Shaun got busted last month with a bunch of weed, but I heard it was that Hawaiian stuff, so you got to at least applaud him on his tastes. Plus, he apologized – took it like a man. So when Shaun […]
As a student of success, I’ve noticed something about all truly successful people: they understand the value of relationships. And as Yankees GM Brian Cashman quietly snuck Mark Teixeira out from under the noses of both the Nationals and the Red Sox this past week, he signaled to the rest of the league that he […]
In the world of sports agenting, even the littlest things can matter to a picky client. And for Z-man, when he’s dealing with Isiah Jones, negotiations over something as small as the socks he wears can get heated. But Z-man is a master of negotiation, and he knows exactly how to deal with a fat […]
The holidays are special. The familiar sound of a family chattering away, the intoxicating smell of egg nog, the warmth of a crackling fire…it truly is a wonderful time of year. Yet for those who aren’t fortunate enough to spend the next few weeks with loved ones, it’s a lonely and harrowing time of year. […]
Dr. Gerard Leavenworth deals with complex situations all day long, and to best illustrate a point, he often uses an analogy. So, as he’s apt to do when explaining both his gynecological work and his hometown Philadelphia Eagles, Dr. L breaks this weekend’s matchup down in a way that even a child could understand it.
Sure, I’ve had my disagreements with Joe Paterno in the past, but when I heard that he signed a three-year extension with Penn St., I couldn’t help but be happy for the old man. JoePa symbolizes many things – tradition, sportsmanship, respect for the game. But most of all he is a leader that anyone […]
This week, when I saw Scott Boras playing several teams against each other in bidding for Mark Teixeira, I couldn’t help but smile. Any agent worth his salt knows that to get the best deal for your client you gotta test the waters and know how to manipulate the market. I’ve played this game myself. […]
This week, when it was announced that Sean Avery would not be returning to the Dallas Stars due to his anger issues, I was shocked. Sure, my boy said his ex-girlfriend would bang any dude with a pair of skates and a name that rhymes with Federov, but since when did calling it like you […]
Sure, a 30–10 victory looks good on paper. But last night, the Green Machine failed when it counted most, scoring only two touchdowns on seven chances in the red zone. What Coach Reid needs to understand is that the red zone is not only the most fertile area on the field, but it is also […]
As some of you know, I’m a bit of a packrat. But this past weekend, I decided that my belongings, like my fantasy season, should go down in flames. So last night, I loaded my cheat sheets, fantasy reports, even my last pair of socks, into the garbage can down at the park and burned […]
