There were some close inter-conference games in the fourth week of the NFL season. The Eagles (3-1 and first in the NFC East) held on for dear life in their 26-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers (0-4) – I almost wrote San Diego – and are now riding high on a two-game winning streak. […]
You could of drove a u-haul trailer through the hole Wendell Smallwood used to score the eventual game-winning touchdown in the Eagles’ 26-24 win over the host Los Angeles Chargers Sunday afternoon in an NFL inter-conference game. More about the hosting on the part of the Chargers later, but as for the game, a punishing running […]
The Eagles visit the Los Angeles Chargers – there I remembered to call them the Los Angeles Chargers and not the San Diego Chargers – in what football forecasters are predicting to be a close game. This is a pick ’em game meaning its even up. The Eagles’ top offensive player is out for the […]
Figure out the number of hoagies that were washed down with an adult beverage and the number of hotdogs washed down with a coke, and you come to a pretty good approximation of how many times you heard the words, “what a kick”! following the Eagles 27-24 victory over the New York Giants Sunday at […]
There were a few inter-conference games that were close in the third week of the NFL season and two of those games went into overtime. The Chicago Bears sent their fans home happy with a 23-17 overtime win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bears led at halftime 17-7 and then the Steelers tied it with […]
The Eagles’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs was a tough loss for sure, but it wasn’t heart-breaking. They didn’t lead the entire game only to lose on a last-second field goal. In my more than 50 years of watching Eagles’ football, that is something they have done. But this time they hung in there […]
The 2017 NFL season is only a couple of weeks old, but in inter-conference matchups, the AFC leads NFC 4-3. After the L. A. Rams crushed the Indianapolis Colts 46-9 in the opening week, the AFC won four-of-six games this week. Starting us off was the closest game, a real-nailbiter between the Arizona Cardinals and […]
Kevin Harlan and Dan Fouts make my Monday nights as they broadcast the NFL games on the Westwood One radio network. They give the games a certain flavor and zest I can almost taste. But Kevin Harlan certainly does sound like a sportscaster. Maybe a little too much like a sportscaster. But its understandable because […]
The Kansas City Chiefs are anticipating the arrival of the Philadelphia Eagles for a game scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday. Both teams began their season with impressive wins. The Chiefs steamrolled over the New England Patriots by scoring the final 21 points in a 42-27 win in Foxboro Thursday night. The Eagles’ game wasn’t decided […]
There are a few tried-and-true signs of spring. The neighbor throwing his golf bag in the trunk of his car on a bright Saturday morning means it isn’t likely two feet of snow will be falling anytime soon. Children playing a game of kickball in a front yard means in a month or so you […]
