Philadelphia Eagles Do Not Have a Need at Right Tackle
During the lockout, if you wanted football news that did not have some sort of legal jargon mixed throughout, the only thing to look at was draft news.
Mock drafts, big boards, and all other sorts of stuff that usually proves worthless when all is said and done was the only thing to give us our fix.
Unfortunately, as is the case most years, I'm left pulling out my hair wondering...

Sixers Will Need Perfect Game to Cool Down the Heat
After two losses at the hands of the juggernaut known as the Miami Heat, the Sixers know what needs to be done.
In an interview with PhillyBurbs.com on Wednesday, Andre Iguodala summed it up best when he said that he and the rest of his teammates "got to play... near perfect to get a win."
While that may have seemed obvious before heading into this series, the first two...

Phillies Beat the Brewers With Late Home Runs
It's not a rarity when the Phillies win a game using only the long-ball. It is a rarity, however, when the big shots come via lead-off man Shane Victorino and his No. 2 man Placido Polanco.
But that's exactly what happened Wednesday afternoon as the Phillies prevented what would have been the team's first real slump of the season.
Down 3-0 in the sixth, Polanco smacked...

J.C. Romero Could Be Headed to the Disabled List
J.C. Romero entered the game in the Phillies' 6-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in the ninth inning, and could have seen his last action for at least a couple weeks according to Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Romero tried to field a ball knocked back up the middle by Ryan Braun, but missed as he tried to push himself off the mound and immediately began hopping around...

2M2MG Makes Its Triumphant Return
Like a knight in shining armor...
I'm not sure if it's the depression over the NFL lockout or the fact that my face has been glued to the TV every second of the day to watch the Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers, but as any of the 2M2MG.com faithful have been able to tell, the site has been a bit dead as of late.
That will change starting shortly. Hopefully today. I've got...

Can Brand Be a Force in NBA Playoffs with Hand Injury?
It didn't seem like much at the time.
During the 76ers' 110-105 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 9, starting power forward Elton Brand was hit hard on the back of his left hand, a blow that resulted in a "very minor fracture,"according to Philly.com.
"Elton got banged...the other night and I think he's going to be OK," said 76ers coach...

Sixers Clinch Playoff Berth With Win Over Nets
Show your love.
With their impressive 115-90 victory Friday night over the New Jersey Nets, the Philadelphia 76ers clinched a spot in the playoffs for the first time in two years.
That may not seem like a huge accomplishment when taken at face value. For most Sixers fans however, it feels like a quantum leap when compared to last season.
But aside from the confetti that fell from...

Sixers Defeat No. 1-Seeded Bulls, Take Season Series
All games are created equal, but some are more equal than others.
The Sixers' 97-85 win over the Chicago Bulls Monday night only counts as a single victory in the standings, but the impact that it will have on a young team over the rest of the season is immeasurable.
"When we got together at 9:30 this morning, we won the game," said a beaming Collins after the victory...

How Can the Flyers Can Replace Prongers' Production?
Chris Pronger is arguably one of the best defensive defensemen in the league.
His talent and production in all three zones makes him irreplaceable in the Flyers lineup. The only positive with this injury is that he will be better rested for the long playoff haul.
The Flyers, like every other team in the NHL facing injuries, have backup plans for their team. Let's take a look...

Eagles Want More Than First-Round Pick for Kevin Kolb
The chance that Kevin Kolb remains a member of the Philadelphia Eagles seems to be dwindling by the day.
Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com is reporting that, according to a league source, the "Eagles are hoping to acquire at least a first-round pick and a second pick somewhere in the first three or four rounds for Kolb."
I don't doubt that head coach Andy Reid and general...

Leonard Weaver Apologizes for Slavery Comparison
It was bound to come sooner or later, but since he's already been chastised for the comments comparing what NFL players are going through to slavery, it's hard to know if Leonard Weaver's apology is sincere or simply a public relations move, but it did come rather quickly.
Wednesday morning, Weaver took to Twitter in an attempt to explain himself.

Leonard Weaver Compares NFL Players to Slaves
First, it was Adrian Peterson trying to convince us that NFL players were going through something similar to modern-day slavery.
"It's modern-day slavery, you know?" Peterson told Doug Farrar of Yahoo! Sports last Friday. "People kind of laugh at that, but there are people working at regular jobs who get treated the same way, too. With all the money ... the owners...

Jeff Carter Continuing Impressive Season for Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers may not be playing their best hockey right now but their season overall has been excellent.
In all of the talk about the depth of the team -- the defense, the goalie situation and all the new acquisitions -- Flyers forward Jeff Carter has been overshadowed.
Maybe it's better that way.
The Flyers signed Carter to an 11-year extension worth $58 million...

Peter King: Eagles Have First-Round Offer for Kevin Kolb
According to SI.com's Peter King, the Philadelphia Eagles have received an offer from a team that includes a first-round pick.
King also points out that head coach Andy Reid and general manager Howie Roseman believe they can get a better offer if they wait (not that they really have a choice until the Brady v. NFL ruling on April 6th), so there's a chance that the pick being...

Sixers Breakout Against Kings, Grab Sixth Seed
After Friday night's 102-80 victory over the Sacramento Kings, Sixers' coach Doug Collins gave Elton Brand the option to sit out tonight's game against the Portland Trailblazers.
Brand's response? "I’ll be out there. We’re greedy."
Greedy, because the Sixers are inching ever closer to a coveted playoff berth. Friday's win, coupled with the New...

Eagles Showing Interest in LBs, DT, and KR/PR/WR
According to Aaron Wilson of NationalFootballPost.com, the Philadelphia Eagles were on hand Monday to watch the workouts of a couple Ohio State linebackers: Brian Rolle and Ross Homan.
Rolle (5'10, 229) ran a 4.56 40-yard dash at the combine, which was third-best amongst linebackers. He was also a first-team All-Big Ten selection with 76 tackles, three sacks, and two interceptions...

Phillies Downplay Brad Lidge's Biceps Tendinitis
Closer Brad Lidge has been struggling a little bit in Spring Training, and now we know why. Philadelphia Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. recently announced Lidge has tendinitis in his biceps.
The injury, however, is normal for Lidge this time of year. At this time last year the swelling from the tendinitis required a cortisone shot, and another in May.

Jrue Holiday at the Heart of Sixers' Youth Movement
At virtually every level of basketball, a quality starting point guard is essential to a team's success.
Never has that been more true than in today's NBA, where many of the league's elite are directed by an All-Star caliber lead guard: Chicago's Derrick Rose, Boston's Rajon Rondo and Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook, just to name a few.

Giroux, Flyers handle Leafs for back-to-back wins
Without Chris Pronger in the lineup, the Philadelphia Flyers found a way to win back-to-back games for the first time in nine games as they escaped the ACC Centre with a 3-2 victory on Thursday night. Claude Giroux and his line contributed a goal and three assists while Brian Boucher stopped 27 of 29 shots as the Flyers pushed their lead in the Eastern Conference to four points...

Sixers Continue Growth Even in Loss to Thunder
There are no such things are moral victories in the Sixers' locker room.
However, after Wednesday's night's disappointing 110-105 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, many Sixers' fans probably came to a similar conclusion.
We may have something here.
Heading into the game, it was logical - reasonable, even - to have expected the Sixers to lose against the Thunder...

Chase Utley's Injury Causing Panic Amongst Phillies Fans
The Philadelphia Phillies organization has tried to minimize the severity of the injury to second baseman Chase Utley and his right knee, and in doing so have helped to start a panic amongst the fans.
No one was too worried when it came out that he was having soreness in his knee again because it's only Spring Training. He'd sit the bench for a few games, work it out, and be fine...

Domonic Brown's Injury Ends Battle for Right Field
My feeling heading into this season was that Ben Francisco would win the opportunity to play right field for the Philadelphia Phillies in a fierce Spring Training battle with the youngster Dominic Brown.
I guess being half right isn't all bad. Actually, I guess it's half bad. Or half good, I suppose, depending upon your outlook.
But I digress.
