Eytan Shander: Eagles' draft success hinges on one thing — taking a wide receiver in the first round

by Eytan Shander

Don’t blow it. Wise words of advice that will be thrown around our great city plenty ahead of Thursday night. The good news for Eagles GM Howie Roseman heading into the opening round of the NFL Draft? It’s going to be pretty difficult to screw up — that is, if you’re like me and want a wide receiver.

Eytan Shander: No matter who the Eagles draft, fans will likely get angry for no good reason

by Eytan Shander

Why do we do this? Each offseason we look at every single prospect who plays the position we want the Eagles to address in the first round of the NFL Draft. And all we're doing is building ourselves up for disappointment every single year.

When it comes to sports returning, it's time for a reality check.

Eytan Shander: Sorry fans, don't expect to attend a single sporting event in 2020

by Eytan Shander

The way things are going we might be out and about by July. But even being allowed to leave your house won’t transfer over to 20,000 people attending a basketball game.

Eytan Shander: Thank god for the NFL offseason, a 'needed distraction'

by Eytan Shander

We have never needed football more than right now, stuck at home, wondering about our immediate and collective future. It’s far from just a “needed distraction” or a way for your local radio host to fill a four-hour talk show. The NFL is so tightly woven into the fabric of our lives that it might be the only normal thing left.

Eytan Shander: Don't rip Howie Roseman (yet), and coping with coronavirus

by Eytan Shander

Every year around this time – even during a pandemic – we get all giddy about the possibilities of Howie Roseman signing a big-name Free Agent. It’s what you do this time of year in the NFL. Even the Browns are getting in on it!

Eytan Shander: Does staying home and not going to the game make you less of a fan?

by Eytan Shander

Don’t laugh, but with the growing inevitability of professional sports being played in empty stadiums, it’s only a matter of time before someone asks this on a radio show: Does staying home and not going to the game tonight due to fear of the coronavirus make you less of a fan?

Eytan Shander: Every single year, the Eagles swing and miss on receivers and cornerbacks

by Eytan Shander

It seems impossible, but somehow the Eagles are in this same situation each and every offseason. To quote Ice Cube, "Once again it’s on."

Eytan Shander: Don't worry, there's plenty of room for you on the Flyers bandwagon

by Eytan Shander

I think there’s a fine line between jumping on a bandwagon and treating the Flyers like we do the Eagles and Sixers. Consider me on the Flyers wagon and your ally in sports media when I say this: “you don’t want the Flyers covered like we do the Eagles and Sixers” not in the slightest.
