• Heads Up: Army-Navy Game on Saturday in Philly

  —Fables of the reconstruction

  It's the 110th meeting of Army and Navy football tomorrow. What that means for the locals tonight is a lot of drunk mids and cadets out and about. Tomorrow, it means a metric shitload of absolutely obliterated mids and cadets puking in bars, cabs and other places you might otherwise [...]

• Somehow Eagles Comback To Beat Redskins

  —Philly SportsCast

  The Eagles opened yesterday’s game against the Redskins with an onside kick that backfired and, in the second-half, had four straight possessions that lasted just three plays. Not the way you want to play a division rival at home. The Birds then found themselves losing 24-16 when they got the [...]

  This is yet another Who Shows Up type of games. The upside is Washington seems to have as many of these as the Eagles do.
  
  Reasons why Philly will win:
  
  1) Home game for Philly,
  2) Eagles have the most explosive player (DeSean),
  3) Jason Campbell is starting [...]
