Howard deserves so much better than what looks like an ugly last stand

by Al Morganti

It is never a good idea to lecture a fan base on when it is appropriate to cascade a player with negativity. Never a good idea to pretend that there is any sort of etiquette when it comes to hurling a stadium filled with booing at somebody in the home uniform.

Forget the beer guy, Chip Kelly the most interesting man in the world

by Al Morganti

It’s a wonder there are any ratings for reality TV shows in Philadelphia, a wonder there are any lines to get into a movie or a play, and a wonder a band can gather enough people to hold a concert.

Is Chip Kelly a Mighty Duck or just some quack?

by Al Morganti

There is supposed to be a fine line separating genius from crazy, and at this point many fans of the Philadelphia Eagles are hoping that Chip Kelly has at least one foot on the right side of that line, and that he hasn’t totally gone into the world of absurdity.
