NFL Week 10 Sunday Wrap Up



A wild Week 10 in the NFL consisting of a Hail Mary, 2 overtime games and the Bills finally getting their first win of the season.

Pac-Man Takes Down Margarito



Manny Pacquiao took down Antonio Margarito last night in Cowboys Stadium. Manny won by unanimous decision as he pounded Margarito throughout the fight leaving him bloody and battered. The only question remains is can we stop with the nonsense fights and just get the fight everyone wants to see? Mayweather-Pacquiao is all we want...make it happen.

Monday Night Football Preview

In Week 4, we thought we would see an epic showdown between Donovan McNabb coming home against his former team and new starting QB Michael Vick. All the hype surrounding the game and Donovan's return quickly became irrelevant when Vick went down in the first half with a sternum injury that eventually sidelined him for the next 3 games. Kevin Kolb came in and was one Jason Avant dropped touchdown away from actually winning the game in the final seconds (Video after the jump). This week, on Monday Night Football, we will (hopefully) get to see that game come to fruition. Only this week, it's the Eagles who seem to be riding high and the Redskins, particularly McNabb, who are clouded with uncertainty.

Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself

Everyone does it. When the NFL schedule gets released, every fan grabs his or her team's schedule, plays analyst and starts penciling in wins and losses. I think all Eagles fans put down an L against the Colts for their Week 9 matchup. Between memories of Peyton Manning torching the Eagles every time he's faced them and the uncertainty of the true ability of supposed starter Kevin Kolb, putting an L next to this matchup was an understandable prediction. Then the season unfolded and the reins of the offense were handed over to Michael Vick.

Why the "New" NFL Is Wrong

The most talked about play from yesterday was the terrifying play in the Eagles/Colts game that ended with Austin Collie getting carted off the field after lying motionless on the ground for what seemed like forever. The play has stirred some controversy in the last 24 hours and will probably result in a fine for Eagles safety Kurt Coleman. But is a fine warranted? Was the 15-yard Unnecessary Roughness penalty warranted? Is the league so scared that they flag anything that looks remotely violent? Yes and that is what's killing the National Football League right now. Video after the jump.

Not So Small Andy Reid



Video from the game yesterday featuring 13 year-old "Andrew" Reid. WOW.

Derrick Rose 2 Handed Slam



From last night's game in the United Center against the Knicks. The Knicks held on to win thanks to being completely unconscious from beyond the 3-point line, but Derrick Rose finished with 24 and 14 dimes and one for the highlight reel. Enjoy.

90's Rivalry Revisited: Bulls/Knicks

Photobucket

Tonight the Bulls square off against the Knicks in the United Center as part of a doubleheader on TNT. While this is really not a marquee matchup like it used to be, it does mark the first time since the Jordan era that both teams look like they are on the way up. Hopefully a new rivalry will bring back some of the excitement of the intense games of the 90's.

Groundhog Day on Halloween

With 1:50 left in the game against Detroit yesterday and down only six points, Mike Shanahan benched Donovan McNabb for...Rex Grossman? Yes you read that correctly. While we here in Philadelphia are familiar with the sight of McNabb on the sideline with his hands on his hips looking to the sky for answers, this still comes as a shock to anyone who even remotely follows football and will inevitably cause some commotion in the Washington locker room.
