T.O. Gets a Chile Reception

T.O. Gets a Chile Reception

THAT'S MY NEICE Whitney Seymour who is spending her junior year in college studying Spanish in Chile. Whitney spotted this Eagles jersey while shopping in a thrift store on Friere Street in the regional capital city of Concepcion, and she sent me this photo as a shout out to her Tio Clark in Philadelphia.

I blame Buddy Ryan for Andre Waters' suicide

I blame Buddy Ryan for Andre Waters' suicide

IF LOOKS COULD KILL, I was a dead man based on the look Andre Waters gave me the only time I met him. We met across a crowded room and we never actually shook hands or exchanged words.

Eagle 24-Giants 7-- Oops, I mean 14. 21. 24. 30!

EXCUSE ME while I pull this big samurai sword out of my guts. The Eagles just lost a game in a way I've never seen them lose before. And I've seen them lose in ways that are hard to make up. They were on cruise control looking as dominant and competent as I've ever seen an Eagles team look. Up 24-7 over the feckless Giants going into the fourth quarter in a game where the Eagles defense sacked the opposing quarterback eight times, seemingly at will.
