Hockey has to be the only sport where, in the playoffs, it's considered totally cool to try to injure your opponents once the game is over.

Penguins resorting to cheap shots as the building empties out...

Martone showing up right out of college as a borderline superstar is a very un-Flyers thing to have occurred.

I think I heard Fran say that this is because the guy who used to measure hands/arms retired, and a different guy is doing it now. (What an industry…)

FIFA insisting that governments treat every World Cup match like a mega-Super Bowl, but willing to accept absolutely none of the costs their demands require, is an unbelievable scandal.

Sweeney?

Do they have a stout defense? No. Well, how about a combative midfield? Also no. Any goal scoring, either chances or finishing? Not really!

Analysis: the Philadelphia Union don’t appear to be good at, uh, anything.

Kevin Patullo was actually doing a great job but the fake news media was very mean! That is why the players lost faith, not because he was a bumbling idiot

The dead giveaway is when the “team source” says of Patullo, “there was a lot of noise that he was not doing a good job,” as if that noise was wrong.

Good to see that he’s been using the offseason to develop healthier sleeping habits.

The Manfred Man is the absolute worst rule change in sports in the last decade.

Very excited to be working with Matt again.

Now’s your chance.

Definitely.

Reports about how Team X would like to trade for AJ Brown are not the same as reports that the Eagles are ready to move AJ Brown at a cut-rate price. We’ve seen a lot of one but not the other.

My Year as a Degenerate Sports Gambler Practically overnight, America made wagering on a game as frictionless as checking the weather. I was determined to understand the consequences—for my country, and for myself.

This is as good as everyone says it is, read it www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

I like the Woolen signing. I’d be lying if I said I’d ever heard of “Johnny Mundt” before tonight.

Interesting that Goedert, Blankenship, and Dean are all still hanging out there.

$17 million guaranteed?!?

Hard to believe we haven’t seen a market-setting Charlie Kolar contract yet.

If you like a guy, you should not give him the chance to hit the market, especially in an era where there’s more cap available than there are good free agents.

Howie’s new no-midyear-extensions policy is going to make it harder to retain any expiring player.

I would not have paid $30m APY for Jaelan Phillips, so letting him go is fine.

AJ is a better, more important player, and the Eagles would be eating a chunk of his cap hit.

My read continues to be that other teams (& media) want the Eagles to trade AJ much more than the Eagles want to trade AJ.

If Trent McDuffie can get a first and a third, why are so many people confident the Eagles can’t do better than a second for AJ Brown?

The European mind could not comprehend.

I’ll accept that I’m in the minority that can’t stand Kruk (or TMac). But does anyone have a lower approval rating than Ben Davis? Has he ever added a single worthwhile thing to a moment of a broadcast? Inexplicable stuff all around.
