Welcome! Not a great time to a fan of Philly sports teams right now. The Phillies were in and out of the MLB playoffs. The Eagles are struggling and players are starting to show their age. The Flyers have yet to win a game with their only points coming from making to overtime only to lose. There is not much hope except for the Sixers with the arrival of Lebron James and Jaylen Brown.  But, we should always be hopeful and not dwell in the moment. There is still time for our teams to right the ship and set a new direction. Just because there is early adversity does not mean that all is lost. There is still a chance for the Eagles. For the Flyers. And the Phillies have a good foundation to build on with the right approach. We need to be hopeful and forward thinking. Otherwise, we will just dwell in the emotions of the moment. 

 

      Welcome! A tough week for teams with young future star quarterbacks. While I can understand the sentiment around Caleb Williams, I think we have to given him a benefit of the doubt a bit. Pain tolerance is one thing and maybe the frustration with potentially missing time and what that may entail. The debate over preseason play for starters will probably heat up, but this unfortunate situation is also a case for being cautious. So, as long  as salaries continue to escalate, teams will protect the assets from injury in a meaningless game. FEATURED EPISODE:

Welcome! There is a lot being made about my Philadelphia Eagles heading into Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans because of the expected heat. Can a team from the north that is used to cooler temperatures this time of year go to a hotter climate?  I think we should remember that many of our players are from SEC schools. So they are already accustomed to playing in those environments for not just one game. But for the entire college football season.  I am confident that the Eagles will be prepared for both the weather and the Titans in Nashville. FEATURED EPISODE:

 

  Welcome! The opening weekend is behind us and many teams now can focus on what they need to improve and what they can build on from the first time their starters took the field. The preseason is now the backup season. So the true identities of teams is really unknown.  Given there was no real conclusive tape teams could study, the games were probably played based on studying tendencies, historical play, and being situational adaptive. We know teams find every advantage, any tidbit of hints of what teams might do. But there are so many new head coaches, new coordinators, and potentially new approaches to really be sure what to expect.  Now, there is a game worth of film, stats, and data. For many teams, it is only going to get better. For others, they will need to learn to adapt to avoid getting exposed. Week 2 starts tomorrow with Buffalo vs Detroit! FEATURED EPISODE:
