For the Sixers and Flyers, it couldn’t come at a better time. Each team limped into the break and probably needed to get away from the day-to-day responsibilities of pro sports. The Sixers, who were blown out by the New York Knicks 138-89 on Wednesday Night, send guard Tyrese Maxey to Los Angeles as a starter in

Article Written by Billy Schweim Originally Published on January 16th, 2026 Eagles fans' expectations of a Super Bowl repeat were silenced last Sunday by the Francisco 49ers in a disappointing 23-19 loss.  The Locker Room crew were in attendance for a very cold game to watch.  There is plenty of blame to go around, Birds Quarterback Jalen Hurts, the offensive line, and of course, the offensive coordinator all underachieved.  As a result, the Eagles "relieved" Kevin Patullo of

Article Written by Billy Schweim Originally Published on December 19th, 2025 With a win against the Washington Commanders on Saturday, the Eagles can repeat as NFC East Champs.  No team has repeated as division champions in the NFC East since 2004.  The last team to repeat was the Eagles. That is the longest streak that no team has won back-to-back division titles in NFL history. The Birds are 9-5 and currently hold the third spot in the NFC playoff picture. Washington isn’t

Article Written by Billy Schweim Originally Published on December 5th, 2025 As the calendar turns to December, the Philadelphia Eagles have five games left to turn things around. The Eagles have lost their last two games, and head to Los Angeles to face the 8-4 Chargers. Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts has not played well since the Bye Week, and the offense has averaged a measly 15 points in their last four games. The defense hasn’t lived up to their potential either. The Bird

Article Written by Billy Schweim Originally Published on November 28th, 2025 I want to reflect on the Birds since Jeffrey Lurie bought the Eagles Football organization.  Back in 1994, when Lurie bought the team, the Eagles were often the laughing stock of the NFL. Since then, Lurie declared that the Eagles would be the “Gold Standard” in the league. We have been blessed to have an owner that has delivered on his promises.  On this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for our Philadelp

Article Written by Billy Schweim Originally Published on November 21st, 2025 The clouds of rumors and speculation have not left the Philadelphia Eagles, with the latest reports stating that there are people in the Eagles that are unhappy with how Jalen Hurts runs the offense.

Article Written by Billy Schweim Originally Published on November 14th, 2025 Team chemistry is one of the most important factors in team sports. Coaches are responsible for utilizing their star players to get the maximum production out of them. It’s a juggling act to make your star players are happy, and that every player on the team is on the same page, understands his role, and accepts that role. That is sometimes easier said than done. The Eagles, with all that offensive f

Article Written by Billy Schweim Originally Published on November 7th, 2025 The Philadelphia Eagles resume their schedule after the Bye Week when they travel to Green Bay on Monday night to play the Packers. The temperatures are forecast to be in the high 20’s at kickoff and the Birds with their new additions look to improve their record to 7-2 and maintain their hold atop of the NFC East. The Eagles schedule is tough with three of their next four games against the always rug

Article Written by Billy Schweim Originally Published on October 30th, 2025 Who would have thought that the 76ers would get off to a 4-0 start and the Flyers would be dominant at home at the Xfinity Mobile Arena. Both teams are young and exciting to watch so far. Tyrese Maxey and rookie V.J. Edgecombe are one of the best back courts in the NBA, and the Flyers, the fourth youngest team in the NHL, have played inspired hockey under new head coach Rick Tocchet. The Flyers are 6-

Article Written by Billy Schweim Originally Published on October 24th, 2025 The Eagles defeated the Vikings last week with what some have called a perfect aerial attack.  Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts opened up his offense, and wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVanta Smith were the beneficiaries of Hurts' perfect Quarterback Rating. Hurts QB rating was 158.3, going 19/23 for 326 yards and three touchdowns.  If the Birds offense can replicate last week's performance in the air,
