Poll: Does Philly Want Iverson Back?
Eddie Jordan said it best yesterday, Allen Iverson is a guy fans and the media love to talk about. A second Philadelphia life for the Answer would undoubtedly bring a buzz back to the lifeless Wachovia Center. How long would that buzz last? It's hard to tell.

Football Food for Eagles Fans - Week 12, DMV Edition
While this week's selected food looks as delicious as ever, I think it's the fact that Mark took the opportunity to take a knock not only at their football team, but also the fact that DC lacks any "discernible food character" that I enjoyed so much...
Temple, Philly Hoop Group Underwhelm at Palestra
After a relatively uneventful 20-point beatdown
of Ball State Tuesday night, Temple headed into the "Championship
Round" of the third annual Philly Hoop Group Classic with aspirations
of sneaking in the Top 25, having received their first votes of the season...
Today in Philly Sports History: Chuck Goes for 40 and 20, 1988
By the 1988-1989 season, with all remnants of the '83 championship team dispersed but for point guard Mo Cheeks (soon to be traded to San Antonio), the Sixers' were clearly now Sir Charles's team. He was playing like a franchise player, too, averaging 25 points, 12 rebounds...
McNabb Not So Bad Late, Eh? And Shocking Onside Kick Related Item
Donovan McNabb is likely the most criticized man in Philadelphia over the past decade, so when he's playing well, he should be credited with doing so. After the "he can't win the big games" criticism and maybe a close third...
It Never Ends: Sixers vs. Spurs in San Antonio
Amidst all the injuries to key players (Lou Williams, Elton Brand, Marreese Speights) and the controversy about making a move to sign Allen Iverson (Kate Fagan thinks they shouldn't, I think they probably should), it's important to remember that the Sixers still have to occasionally...

For the second consecutive week, Donovan McNabb and the Eagles came from behind in the fourth quarter to win a close game, this time defeating a division rival 27-24. After a fast start, the offense slowed and allowed the Redskins to get back into the lead and take a seemingly commanding...
Big Game, Little Opponent: Skins in Town
The last time these two teams met, the Eagles sort of cruised to a 27-17 victory despite not having Donovan McNabb's best performance. At the time, we made the case that the game wasn't even really that close. They jumped out to a 17-0 lead and led 27-10 at halftime against...
Today in Philly Sports History: Four for LeClair, 1998
Coming over in a trade with the Canadiens for Mark Recchi in 1995, John LeClair quickly helped soften the blow of losing the regular 100-point scorer. Quickly finding chemistry with linemates Mikael Renberg and Eric Lindros--collectively known as the Legion...
Niitty-less Flyers Storm the ATL
Hockey is a game in which few things are certainties. Who knows that will result in a suspension? On which given day will a Cup contender get smoked by a team from Florida? Why would anyone rather have a team...
Donny's Big Week...
Sometimes around the holidays, things can feel hectic, rushed, and not as relaxing as designed. For Donovan McNabb, Turkey Week had to be about as crazy as it gets. First, his wife had their fourth child last Friday. Then he went home to Chicago to beat the Bears on national television...
Today in Philly Sports History: Bubby Brister Leads Birds Over Skins, 1993
The Eagles likely weren't hoping that Bubby Brister would end up starting eight games in the 1993 season when they picked him up to back up Randall Cunningham, but with RC riddled with a series of injuries for his last...
That Was Quick: Sixers Considering Bringing Back Allen Iverson
Allen Iverson's "retirement" from basketball may be just like his game on the court -- quick. From Stephen A. Smith at FOX Sports, the Sixers are apparently seriously considering a second run with the Answer.Numerous team sources confirmed on Friday that the 76ers&...
Flyers Dropped in Bruising Matinee
One of the prevalent storylines for the Flyers lately are all the man games lost to injury. Today, it got a little worse, with two more skaters spending time on the trainer's table, while another was lost to long penalties. The Sabres were able to outlast the Flyers in a 60-minute...
Steelhead Fishing on Salmon River
My brother Mike is back with another one of his Philly area fishing reports. Not exactly around the corner on this trip, but we thought a little Americana would be nice on the day after Thanksgiving.So my wife's uncle has been trying to get me to go to Salmon River in Pulaski...
Orange & Black Friday!
Spoiler Alert: I'm not getting off the couch today unless it's to fulfill a bodily need. Meaningful Temple Football is on right now, seasoned up with some snowflakes falling on the field, and the Flyers have a Black Friday matinee game against the Sabres. I absolutely love...
Today in Philly Sports History: The Adam Eaton Contract, 2006
It probably made sense at the time. Well, maybe. With starters Randy Wolf and Cory Lidle gone from the previous season, and Ryan Madson moving back to the bullpen, the team had some innings to fill, and Adam Eaton's reputation as an innings-eater probably had something to do with...
What Are You Thankful For This Year, Philly Sports Fans?
I'm thankful for Chase Utley, Cliff Lee, and "Get me to the plate, boys!" I'm thankful for having had the pleasure of listening to Harry Kalas be the soundtrack of my summers for the majority of my life. I'm thankful that the Eagles will be playing meaningful...
A.I. Thanks the Philly Fans
From Allen Iverson's statement that strangely appears on Stephen A. Smith's website:And finally, to the city of Philadelphia: I have wonderful memories
of my days in a Sixers’ uniform. To Philly fans, thank you. Your voice
will always be music to my ears.

Today in Philly Sports History: Tom Chambers' Ten Minutes as a Sixer, 1997
There was a time when Tom Chambers joining up with the Philadelphia 76ers would have been front page news. The 6'10" baller from Utah was one of the best power forwards in the league in the late 80s and early 90s, a four-time all-star, a 60-points-in-a-game scorer, and huge...
Flyers v. Isles Game Preview: Danny "Two Games" Briere Edition
Gagne, Betts and Powe are on the shelf. Timonen suspiciously didn't complete his last game. Asham MIGHT play. Your steady starting goalie, Ray Emery, got yanked in his last game, a loss to the Avs which brings the current losing streak to three. What else could possibly...

Stephen A. Smith is reporting A.I. is finished. More in a few moments...
Louis Williams Out 2-4 Weeks with Broken Jaw
We wanted to see more playing time for Jrue Holiday and it looks like we may get just that. Sadly, it's due to the loss of Lou Williams and not Willie Green or Royal Ive getting their asses super-glued to the bench.CSNPhilly.com is reporting that Lou Williams will miss 2-4 weeks...
Phish in Philly: Trey Rocks the Richie Winter Classic Jersey
As we talked about yesterday, Enrico and I have always enjoyed the connection our favorite band—Phish—has had with the local sports scene, particularly the Flyers. Trey's previously worn a John LeClair jersey onstage before, honoring the Vermont native, and the band has even...
