It wasn’t about winning a championship. Apparently, it wasn’t about winning anything. When Jayson Werth put his name on a contract from the Washington Nationals for seven years and $126 million ($18 million per season), it became painfully obvious what is important to Werth. Money. Money, money, and more money. Werth was out to make [...]

It’s become expected around Philadelphia over the past couple of seasons that the Phillies will win the NL East. Anything else is just not acceptable — to the team or the fans. But for Roy Halladay, it’s a brand new experience.

The pitcher that most consider the best in baseball will get his first opportunity to pitch in the postseason after pitching a two-hit shutout against the[...]

Well, the hockey season is drawing closer as NHL teams, including the Philadelphia Flyers, opened training camp on Saturday. For the first time, I was in attendance at the Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees, N.J. Before we move into notes from camp, let me say that the turnout was outstanding. It’s being reported that there [...]

With NHL training camps set to open up in the coming weeks, we’re going to start off the preseason fun with a season preview of the Philadelphia Flyers.

If there’s anyone like me who wasn’t a true fan of the move to bring in Roy Oswalt, you’re probably hoarse from screaming at your TV all night long.

Nelson, the Phils will add $1 million onto Oswalt’s 2012 buyout, making it likely that’s the option they’d take. The [...]

While it was nice to see the Phillies leave Boston on a positive note with a 5-3 win against the Red Sox, it’s difficult not to look ahead and dread the Phils’ three-game series in New York against the red-hot Yankees.

The two teams have been on two completely different paths this season as the Yankees have seemingly breezed [...]

In the Eagles fifth offseason trade, they acquired linebacker Ernie Sims from the Detroit Lions in a three-team trade that also included sending a fifth-round pick to the Denver Broncos. The Broncos, in turn, sent tight end Tony Scheffler and a seventh-round pick to the Lions. “I’m just real excited, looking for a new beginning [...]

News came out a couple days ago that only a few hours after the trade had taken place, the Eagles and brand new acquisition Darryl Tapp had an extension in place. No one knew the numbers, but now it appears Adam Schefter (surprise, surprise) has them. “For those scoring at home: Eagles gave newly-acquired DE [...]

Brian Westbrook is apparently extremely bitter about being released by the Eagles and is now taking his new-found freedom as an opportunity to strike back via the radio airwaves. “The thing for them, the Eagles, it’s always money. It’s always dollar signs,” Westbrook told Dan Patrick on his radio show. “If they can find someone [...]
