I watched the Mayweather-De La Hoya fight last night with some friends. It was alright. Nothing spectacular, although I was struck and struck hard by how hard it was to listen to Larry Merchant try to talk. It was maddening. He used words like Mayweather threw punches – one at a time. Throughout the fight, [...]

I guess we can pencil New England into the Super Bowl. I wasn’t too worried about Donte Stallworth going up there. He gave the Eagles passing game and added dimension, which I liked a lot, but he was also injury-prone. I still think that he and Donovan could’ve been a good combination, but not when [...]

For once in my life, the I wasn’t mad when the Eagles lost a close game.  I didn’t throw anything at the TV, I didn’t get into a bad mood, I didn’t snarl and cuss, none of that.  I was actually kinda happy.  Satisfied, even.  There are a couple of reasons for this. First of [...]

I didn’t see the interception, but he obviously has to limit [...]

I’ve been planning to go to some NFL city other than Philadelphia (or any other city in the NFC East) and act like I’m a fan of their team for quite some time, now.  On Columbus Day weekend, I actually plan to do it.  My original idea was to do the AFC West, but we [...]
