After leading the Titans to five straight wins, Vince Young is putting on moves we haven’t seen since he single-handedly won the Rose Bowl, and he’s winning games by being both gutsy and smart. He’s Tennessee’s savior, despite some of the mustachioed ol’ boys down south still cringing because they have a black Quarterback when VY […]
Let’s just hope the Fat Walrus is next… So let me get this straight – the Redskins sign the best defensive free agent on the market, we let Brian Dawkins walk, and now we lose Tra Thomas? It’s enough to drive an Eagles’ fan nuts. So when I saw this, I was outraged. The guy […]
From athletes leaving college early for the NFL to kids becoming sexually active at alarmingly young ages, today’s youth is growing up faster than ever. And while some young people are mature enough to handle themselves as they undertake more and more responsibility (Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco), others simply break down (Vince Young, Mike Williams). […]
There’s a new $100 million man in the NFC East, but it’s not going to change things as much as the Redskins are hoping. It’s still gonna be a three-team race, and the Skins will remain irrelevant, as they have since the days of Mark Rypien and Art Monk. Whether it’s Romo, McNabb, or Eli, […]
Today marks a sad day for the City of Brotherly Love, as our beloved Weapon X has signed with the Broncos. Happy trails, B-Dawk. You were the chastity belt of our defense. And now that you’re gone, we can only hope that Eli and Romo don’t go sticking it in our defense however they please.
Did Donovan McNabb have the right to be angry when he was benched last season? Absolutely. But does that one instance give him the right to dictate the Eagles’ off-season plans? Absolutely not. In the heat of the battle, quick, decisive moves need to be made. And even though tensions can run high, a good […]
Gotta love “America’s Pastime.” Gimme a break – they care more about steroids and Selig and meaningless statistics than they do about the game itself. You know what I’m getting at, football season is still 206 days away, and I’m already missing our country’s most enjoyable pastime: watching the Cowboys implode.
It’s well known in gynecological circles that Dr. Leavenworth is a cutting edge M.D. He’s the type of OBGYN known for pushing the envelope and employing new, even untraditional, methods with his patients. So when we asked Dr. L if he had any advice for Brian Westbrook’s rehab plan, it isn’t surprising that he had […]
Since last night, the pundits have been touting Kurt Warner’s statistics, claiming that he was the best player on the field. But the numbers don’t tell the full story. In my line of work, it’s not always about the stats or the number of babies I’ve delivered. Instead, what matters most are my in-game choices […]
As a former high school quarterback, Dr. Gerard Leavenworth knows the importance of having soft hands. So it should be no surprise that he sees a lot of similarities between his work as a QB and as a QBGYN…
As though my disgust over the Eagles’ failure to reach the Super Bowl wasn’t enough, insult was added to injury this morning when I read that the cancer of the NFL, Terrell Owens, has been given a reality show on VH1. I don’t know what stupid media executive dreamt this one up, but I haven’t […]
One thing that Dr. Gerard Leavenworth doesn’t do is miss an opportunity. See, Dorothy Jones was always a looker, and in the winter of 1981, when I was still a pimple-faced med student, I was approached by the prettiest girl in my class to help her study for the big exam. My friends told me […]
Being an M.D., Dr. Leavenworth takes health and nutrition extremely seriously. But when we asked him his advice for Andy Reid, his response was tinged with…anger? Funny: an angry Eagles fan. Don’t see many of those.
Having a son is exciting for any father…but when your son is born with obvious athletic potential, it’s that much more of a celebration. See, in Dr. Leavenworth’s office, they don’t just help newborns enter the world, they also examine infants to determine their future potential athleticism. So when the Thompson family gave birth to […]
Having a baby can be a very stressful process, especially when you’re a new mother. From maternity clothes to morning sickness to craving ice cream and pickles at 3AM, it all takes some getting used to. As a respected gynecologist in the Phildelphia area for the past 21 years, Dr. Gerard Leavenworth understands when an […]
The relationship between a woman and her gynecologist is certainly an intimate one…and no one takes it more seriously than esteemed QBGYN, Dr. Gerard Leavenworth. So when Samantha Robbins came in for her yearly checkup and the story she was telling Dr. L didn’t line up with what he was seeing on the “field of […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
