Sixers fan want no part of winning

The race for the number one pick in the 2014 draft is on and Sixers fans care more about bing pong balls than wins. 

The New Mr Perfect

Nick Foles is the new Mr. Perfect. Here is how the Daily News covered it. 

I have my doubts

For the last eight years, I have been a season ticket holder at Rutgers. Yesterday I left Rutgers Stadium with questions about the future of this program following their disaster loss to Houston on Homecoming weekend. 

The biggest question I have and the hardest to answer is very simple: Is Kyle Flood the man to lead to this program into the Big Ten? 

When Flood replaced Greg Schiano two seasons ago, I thought that it was the right move. By appointing Flood, Rutgers was able to hold together the programs first ever top 25 recruiting. Fast forward two years and I wonder if he is the right man. 

Moving from the American Athletic Conference/Big East to the Big Ten is like going straight from Pre-School to Law School. It's the big time, with big time programs and big ego coaches. The later is my biggest concern with Flood. Flood is one of the nicest people in college football and former players have told me as much, but you know what they say about nice guys they tend to finish last. 

Does Flood have what it takes to be the future of this program. We might never know until its too late. 

Homecoming Disaster

It was homecoming weekend at Rutgers and Houston was not the best guess. The Cougars destroyed the Knights, here are some of the sights from it.

Yesterday was Rough

Yesterday was a tough day for Eagles fans. The birds offense looked terrible in their loss to the Cowboys. Here is how the Philly Daily News covered the fun. 

Marcus Vick hates Nick Foles

Marcus Vick, Mike's little brother and criminal, hates Nick Foles and Eagles fans. 

Foles or Vick: The Great Debate

Eagles win and all anyone wants to talk about is who the starting QB is. 

Long Strange Trip for Tom Savage

I remember sitting in Rutgers Stadium Sept. 12, 2009 waiting for Tom Savage to make his debut for the Scarlet Knights.

Fast forward a couple of years and a couple of different colleges, Savage is now considered a potential first rounder in the NFL Draft. This story ran on NFL.com: Tom Savage: The best QB prospect you've never heard of.  While I'm happy for Savage, I just wish he would have done all of this while at Rutgers. He was the highest rated quarterback ever to come to Rutgers.

I just wish it would have all worked out better on the Banks. Blame for it not working out has to be shared between Savage and then head coach Greg Schiano.

First Place Birds

The Eagles beat the hapless Giants to take over first place in the NFC East. Here is how the Philly Daily News covered the events. 

The worst the Eagles Defense gets the better the Headline get

The Eagles defense is basically Swiss cheese and bad Swiss cheese. The Philly Daily News hits another home run with its front and back pages following the Birds loss to the Broncos. 

Rutgers is not afraid of the SEC

This is something that you don't see very often. Rutgers has a three game winning streak against the big bad SEC. The last time they lost to an SEC school was in 2002 when Tennessee beat them 35-14

Professional Tailgating: Roasted Hogs

So the Big Bad SEC came to Rutgers Saturday and Rutgers sent a message: we can play football too. Rutgers beat Arkansas 28-24 in a thrilling game.

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.

Schiano to Texas, it doesn't sound that far fetched

There are two dumpster fire currently raging in football: one at the University of Texas and the other one former Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano has gotten him self into in Tampa. Could both be the answer to each other programs.

Texas is a mess right now. Mack Brown has seemed to lost control of the program and the defense can't stop anyone. While in Tampa Bay it's much of the same for Schiano. Professional players think Schiano style is too over the top and too restrictive.

Could Schiano be the answer to Texas problem, while he doesn't have any connection to the state, he could be a huge winner there. Schiano built Rutgers into a national program and Texas could be an easier job for him. He would be the perfect fit, the only thing that he would have to do is hire an offensive or defensive coordinator like Clemson OC Chad Morris to help navigate the complicated Texas High School scene. 

We all know that Texas is going to make a run at Muschamp and Saban, but if they don't come calling, Texas could do a lot worst then Schiano.

Could a merged TNA and ROH be a force

Today on Busted Open on Sirius XM, they discussed the idea of TNA and Ring of Honor combining and the force that they would be. While combining the combining the two organizations might not challenge WWE for commercial appeal it would give wrestling fans an incredible threat. 

Here is a look at what a supercard featuring the two promotions (it doesn't look that bad.

- Main Event

Bully Ray vs. Kevin Steen

Jeff Hardy vs. Jimmy Jacobs (I'm a huge Jimmy Jacobs mark)

Samoa Joe vs. Tommaso Ciampa

Kurt Angle vs. Michael Bennet 

James Storm vs. Adam Cole 

Bad Influence (Kazarian & Daniels) and vs. reDragon 

- Television Championship Match

Joseph Parks vs. Matt Taven

Now that is a card that I would pluck down $50 to watch on PPV. There are quality matches up and down the card. Love the Hardy/Jacobs idea. 

A Monday Tradition: Philly Daily News take on the Eagles

So the Eagles dropped a heart breaker to the Chargers yesterday and here is how the Philly Daily News covered it.

Rutgers could care less about the American Athletic Conference

Lets just say Rutgers wants nothing to do with the American Athletic Conference. Its not like they have a relationship with it. Rutgers just wants to see the league, made up like Conference USA, in its rear view mirror as quick as possible. 

Next year the Rutgers Nation will embark into its journey into the Big Ten and that is not lost on anyone . All the fan base talks about is next year and the future games against big time opponents like Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska and Penn State. 

While the fan base is talking about it, the school is selling it. On Saturday, while I was walking around the one of the stadium shops I was able to purchase a Rutgers Football hat complete with Big Ten logo on the side of it. Yes It has a the Big Ten logo on the side. 

There is nothing like selling a future league, while you are in still in a league. By doing this Rutgers has show that this year and the American Atheltic Conference means nothing. 

Philly newspapers are going to love Chip Kelly

The Chip Kelly era is off to flying start and the Inquirer and Daily News are as well. Both had classic Chip puns this morning following the birds win.

Which clubs NFL fans support in the BPL

The first full Sunday of the NFL season is here. To honor that event, the Daily Mail has given NFL fans a guide to which Barclays Premier League team that they should support. Its an interesting list, for Eagles fans out there they said we should pick West Brom.
