Cup Fail

On Monday night I went to the Eagles/Panthers game, while I had a great time and my Eagles played well. But one thing drove me nuts I went to get a Diet Coke. While getting the drink the lady said the tops didn't fit right. The Eagles are a $4 billion company and they can't get the right size tops. Come on.

A welcome home gift for Big Red

The Philly Daily News hit another home run with their front and back pages covering the Eagles loss to Big Red and the Chiefs.

Cover Story: New York Loves Geno

So this is a slow time in New York City sports. The city's baseball teams are not yet playing well and the NBA and NHL playoffs are still early on. Leave it to the Jets to supply the story line. Draft Geno Smith and the front pages and stories are sure to flow.

2013 NFL DRAFT

Maybe it's time to start the list

With the Eagles starting to look like the laughing stock of the league it's time look for a new leader. Here are my top guys:
1. John Gruden: MNF color commentator: Super Bowl winning coach enough said.
2. Sean Payton: Saints head coach: will be costly but well worth it.
3. Mike McCoy (pictured above): Denver offensive coordinator: Last year he made Tim Tebow look like an NFL qb and now this year he has changed everything and is working with Payton Manning. Could be the perfect coach for a team with a young qb. McCoy is the guy that I want, if Gruden and Payton take a pass and go somewhere else. He was the Only Time Will Tell seal of approval.
4. Perry Fewell: Giants defensive coordinator: Hiring from a rival might be a little hard, but Fewell has been really respected around the league and could be the defensive coach the fan base wants.
5. Chip Kelly: Oregon head coach: Kelly spoke to the Bucs last year about their opening and is very highly regarding in NFL circles.

Only in Philly

Philly really does love their Eagles. On the front page of the Philly Daily News there was a story on Nick Foles the backup quarterback. Yes the backup qb is on the front of the paper.

While I do like what Foles has done in the preseason, it does not merit being on the front of the city's tabloid. Could you imagine David Carr being on the front of the NY Daily News.

The season is coming

Redzone will soon be back and I can't wait. Go Birds.

Twitter is going to destroy the NFL Draft

While the NFL has taken steps to eliminate networks from giving out draft picks before they are officially announced, there are still many issues. On Thursday night, many of the teams first round picks were released on twitter before the commissioner announced them. The Sherman Report takes a look at the impact Twitter had on the draft: Twitter removes draft suspense for ESPN, NFL Network.

The Fletch is coming to Philly

The Eagles selected Mississippi State DL Fletcher Cox with their first pick. The Fletch is coming to Philly.
