Hey, it’s Philly.
The Eagles’ loss to the Cardinals Sunday dropped the club to 3-6. The Eagles still aren’t out of the playoff picture, particularly in the NFC East, where they are 3 games back of the Giants. But that hasn’t stopped some folks for calling for the firing of Andy Reid, who also made some waves by benching DeSean Jackson on Sunday.

Sure bet to close the deal?

Lists like these are frequently horseshit but since its a slow news day…
Michael Vick the most disliked NFL player? Who would have guessed.

Selfishly, we were so excited to give you our upset special, we neglected the rest of the NFL. WTF? In our haste, we forgot to mention some of the other matchups of note, particularly the Steelers and Ravens. You can never go wrong there.
And for the good folks in Denver, where they still have mad love for Tim Tebow, be careful on your trip to the Black Hole. It could get ugly Sunday.

This has some folks’ panties in a bunch.
ESPN’s Tom Jackson was adamant that he believes Michael Vick doesn’t get the same treatment as other high-profile quarterbacks in the NFL, but former quarterback Trent Dilfer begs to differ. Dilfer’s opinion should tell folks they are on the wrong side of the argument.

Some of the editor types at ESPN swear they weren’t trying to create any controversy with the “What If Michael Vick Were White” piece written by Touré in the Sept. 5 edition of ESPN The Magazine. So we ask again, what’s the point?

Is that a Stella?
Already, sportsbooks in Las Vegas are ahead of last year’s pace on betting the NFL. The action has been hot and heavy since the lockout ended.

Though they aren’t as ruthless and heartless as some of their good friends in the Republican Party, Roger Goodell and the NFL owners are close. Even before the players got a chance to see the proposed collective bargaining agreement, the owners paraded in front of the cameras to pat themselves on the back. Many in the media bought their line of crap and pressured the players to approve the deal.
Not so fast.

Maybe Tucker Carlson realized he isn’t relevant now and never has been.

Redskins-Eagles is one of the most anticipated clashes in the NFL on Sunday. It’s the 1st time Donovan McNabb returns to Philly to face Michael Vick and the Eagles. For some strange reason, McNabb believes the Philly fanatics will welcome him with open arms. Ain’t happening dude. Plus, Washington is a 5 1/2-point underdog. They’ll boo you and then they’ll probably beat you.
Anyway, an excellent read by Michael Tillery.
