Five years $135 mil is a very fair deal for Jesus Luzardo. Strong work by the Phillies

Part of me has always wondered if the Eagles are resigned to take their medicine this year (Brown, Goedert) to give themselves maximum flexibility next offseason

Evaluating A.J. Brown's market and landing spots after D.J. Moore trade | David Murphy

There is a bare minimum return the Eagles need in order to justify the competitive hit they’d take without Brown in 2026. It is a return where only a team’s best available draft pick is good enough.

Winning ugly is what makes the Eagles great | David Murphy The Eagles have nothing to be ashamed about the way they’ve played these first couple of games. They are the best team in the NFL and there isn’t another NFC team that is particularly close.

Two reasons the Eagles should target an offensive playmaker in the NFL draft | David Murphy The Eagles could be in position to draft a Deebo Samuel clone at No. 32 in Missouri's Luther Burden III. Why? A dynamic slot receiver is exactly what their passing game needs.

My Guy for the Eagles at No. 32 in the draft: Luther Burden III

With Big 5 shut out, NCAA Tournament is a fight for the bracket’s soul | David Murphy In the New World Order of college sports, tradition becomes a victim of scale. The only logical thing to do is root against the Southeastern Conference.

The question they need to answer: why do we want to try to compete? Are we trying to be Alabama? Are we going after the same students? What do we gain by being able to beat Alabama at basketball? What’s the point of all of this?

Before 2021, Alabama won 25+ games four times in 40 years. They’ve now won 25+ games in 4 of 5 years. Between one and done, the transfer portal, and state school scale booster dollars, teams like Villanova can’t compete in the new labor market. It sucks, but they can’t. It’s self-evidential

Villanova’s challenge is much more existential than finding the right coach. The world done changed. They (and lots of other schools) need to identify their realistic place in that world in order to identify the coach who can lead them there

Phillies know they can’t afford to play it safe with Aidan Miller. Don’t rule out a 2025 debut | David Murphy Miller, the team's top prospect, has the potential to put together the kind of season that forces the Phillies to reevaluate their plans. He has that kind of air about him.

Some words on Aidan Miller, and why his Phillies debut could come sooner than you think.

The next Chan Ho Park and Chad Durbin? Phillies think Joe Ross can be that and maybe more Don't be surprised if the former Brewers pitcher ends up being one of the better values of the Phillies' offseason. We've seen it before.

Will any Eagle have a Jason Kelce parade moment? | David Murphy While it’s only natural to feel a temptation to live up to Kelce’s standards, these Eagles know that any attempt to create that iconic moment will come off as disingenuous.

Quentin Grimes is 24 years old. When Caleb Martin was 24, he was a two-way player who played 18 games for the Hornets and was cut a year later. Just food for thought

A 15-year-old in West Chester found the 1960 Eagles NFL championship trophy in his grandmother’s closet The trophy sits on the Edelstein family couch every week as if it’s a part of the family. When the Eagles need a big play, they rub the trophy for good luck.

On Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid, and a wild start to the NBA trade deadline | David Murphy You can’t help but wonder about the extent to which the Mavericks’ decision-making was informed by Joel Embiid’s free fall toward sunk cost status.

Two brackets: 56-team main bracket for 14 spots in sweet 16, 16-team play-in bracket for two spots in Sweet 16. Small schools guaranteed 2 spots in every sweet 16 while power schools get more entries and better odds at sweet 16. Everyone wins
