Phillies, looking for outfield help, will give Odubel Herrera a chance in spring training

by Evan Macy

Odubel Herrera was supposed to be a goner. His days in Philadelphia were over. After an arrest for domestic violence (in an incident with his girlfriend), the Phillies All-Star outfielder was suspended for the final three months of the 2019 season, without pay. The charges were dropped, but the landscape looked like Herrera had worn out his welcome here.

Roseman admits Eagles need to get younger, but his balancing act has never been more complicated

by Evan Macy

The best thing about Howie Roseman has to be his self awareness. Where other GMs or front office officials around the league (or even in Philadelphia), often beat around the bush, play dumb, or worse — actually are dumb — about the perceptions and shortcomings of a team, Roseman knows what's being said, and knows when he makes a mistake.

It's usually a bit of hyperbole to say that one first quarter play cost a football team its season. And there's really no telling how Carson Wentz would have played against the Seahawks Sunday in the wild card weekend finale if he hadn't been knocked out of the game with a head injury as his defense played out of its mind against Russell Wilson and Co.

by Evan Macy

Thanks to the Vikings, dare we say upset win, over the 3-seeded Saints, the NFC playoff picture is set for the Eagles to perhaps get a much more favorable Divisional round match up — should they prevail against Seattle Sunday afternoon.

Flyers

What they're saying: Flyers definitely not at home away from home

by Evan Macy

If the Flyers played all of their games at the Wells Fargo Center, they'd be the third best team in the entire Eastern Conference and fourth best in hockey.

MLB rumors: Josh Donaldson sweepstakes could determine NL East favorite

by Evan Macy

For whatever reason, teams in the NL East as currently constructed seem to be missing one key element: clear starters at third base.

by Evan Macy
