Flyers Clinch A Playoff Berth!

So the Flyers clinch a playoff berth after losing 10 in a row after the all star break. The team has been crushed with injuries to players such as Hatcher, Gagne, and now even Briere. Briere was a late scratch from tonight's game, and the Flyers elevated their play to make up for Danny not being there. The Flyers scored two goals in the third period to take a three nothing lead, and then Marty Brodeur was pulled. The Flyers faithful chanted Marty, Marty, Marty for the next five or ten minutes or so....but they say it was for Marty Biron, who happens the be the Flyers goaltender who shut out the Devils tonight. The Flyers faithful watched the Panthers shock the Hurricanes, which gave their hometown Flyers a playoff berth. The atmosphere was great tonight, and look for the Flyers to do big things come playoff time.

Phillies Suffer A Tough Opening Day Loss Thanks To A Flash???

The Phillies opened up their 2008 season in front of the best fans in the world, Philly fans. A crowd of over 40,000 strong watched the Phillies take the field, and watched them climb back into it after a game tying two run home run by MVP Jimmy Rollins. Rollins blasted one into left field, a few innings after second base star Chase Utley hit a solo home run for himself. The crowd gave "J-Roll" a standing ovation after the home run and things were looking great for the Phitin Phils. Then........."Flash" Tom Gordon came in. Phillies fans truly dislike Tom Gordon, and they make it known. They have a reason though. Every time the man comes in, the team seems to lose, and momentum seems to always be drained. Flash got the loss in yesterday's meltdown after letting up five runs in the ninth, following Rollins' home run that got the crowd roaring. Flash left the field after every fan in the stadium booed him off. The Phillies were unable to make a dramatic comeback. But I ask this of all of you...Why is he still on the roster? He is old and washed up, and clearly can not perform on this level any longer. I feel, as a die hard Philly fan, he needs to go. Immediately. Can anyone argue otherwise?

Sixers Chances In the Playoffs Growing Daily...

Led by super assist man Andre Miller, the 76ers are now above .500 and are surging towards the playoffs. First, they come back on the best team in the NBA, the Celtics, after being down up to 19 points in the fourth quarter. Tonight, they beat the Bulls by double digits and Andre Miller had 18 assists, and was super close to a triple double. The sixers are firing on all cylinders. Guys like Rodney Carney and Willie Green are stepping up. The biggest factor is "Iggy" who ignites the team, as well as the crowd every night with his insane dunks, and defensive hussle. Dalembert is finally playing how the organization thought he would for the past couple years. So, I ask this of everyone: How far can they go? I say there is no end to how far they can go this year...Reason Being? There is no clear team they can not beat, no team is unstoppable (example. spurs of the past few seasons)

Flyers Slumping....Will They Get In?

Yes Yes...the Flyers have been in a crazy slump...ever since....forever it seems. Ever since Mike Richards went down, it seems the team just lost that motivation. Regardless of that, what made the Flyers so dominant earlier in the year was the fact that teams were hesitant and somewhat "scared" to play them. Cote, Boulerice, Hatcher, Downie....Teams were scared. They wouldn't go for the loose pucks. Now, the league has put a stop to the Flyers Broadstreet Bully play. Their suspensions and threats have caused the Flyers to change their style. Flyers fans all feel the same...Do what you do best, it's simple.

Randy Moss Stays With the Patriots for Less Money?

The Eagles reportedly offered an extra year plus a bigger amount of guaranteed money than the Patriots did. Randy Moss decided to take a little less to stay with New England. So, Randy went against popular belief that he would take the money. He decided to stay with New England, but why? Maybe it was that he has the greatest quarterback in NFL history throwing to him (arguable). Or maybe it is that he broke the NFL TD record for a WR in a single season. Or maybe it was he had no confidence in DMAC to get the job done in Philly. What is it?

Say Goodbye To Brett Favre

Brett Favre retired today after 17 NFL seasons. He told the media that he still felt he could play the game physically, but that he was too mentally tired to play anymore. He basically felt that it would be a disappointment for him to come back and fall anything short of winning a superbowl. What a great career Favre had though, after starting off with the Atlanta Falcons. I doubt Favre would have ever gone to jail for mysterious water bottles or dogfighting. The league lost a great player to retirement today, probably the greatest ever to play the game at the quarterback position. But, can anyone say Michael Jordan? Is an MJ-like comeback in the making for Favre? Packers fans, think positive.
