No Eagles? No problem…The Pundit previews a few games worth watching

With no Eagles to watch on Sunday, I’ve been trying to decide what I will do with my day tomorrow. It would be a spectacular day to catch up on some laundry, do some cleaning around the house, take a trek to the Free Library, and cook a few meals for the upcoming week.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
While that [...]

At this point, The Pundit is just confused – Evaluating the Eagles win over the Cardinals

I made a mistake last week – I let my emotions get the best of me. I had said that I would spend the rest of the season evaluating Andy Reid in an earlier post, and then I sold him out last week. I was upset, you know? (Editor’s note: I just wish I knew [...]

The Pundit List presents: Things to be thankful for

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Pundit List, so it seemed like time. I decided to list the things I was thankful for both in the spirit of the holiday and because I’ve been so negative about the Eagles lately. My thanks will be primarily directed toward the sporting world, but I will undoubtably stray from time [...]

The Pundit thinks Andy should hit the road after this year – Rant offers the counterpoint

Rant Jacobs
It was quite another day at the office for Reid, McNabb, and the rest of the Eagles Crew, wasn’t it?  Such a putrid performance, combined with a heavy dose of Reid/McNabb drama, was bound to draw immediate national attention.  After watching the game with my friend, The Pundit, and realizing that everybody from here to Alaska  is [...]

Football has become essential agony: The Pundit dishes on the Birds and the BCS

The Eagles
What exactly was Andy Reid thinking when he sat McNabb down on Sunday? The Birds were only down by three points, after all. Granted, McNabb had been playing an atrocious game, but benching McNabb, at least to me, signaled a move in a new direction, i.e. the Kevin Kolb era. And then Kolb stunk [...]

The Pundit says goodbye to Andy and Donovan

Before Sunday’s game against the Ravens, I was going to write a post about how it was time for all of Philadelphia to give up any hope for the Eagles. How, whenever we give up on our teams in the middle of the year, they seem to suddenly rebound and make magic happen. Remember Jeff [...]

Why you need to know about Oregon State, what you need to know, and why it should piss you off

Rant Jacobs
Earlier this year, I did an article reviewing the Oregon State vs. USC game, writing about how happy I was that USC had another “fall from grace” game after underestimating an Oregon State team that had a lot to prove.  Much of this came from my anger towards USC’s apparent dynasty. Well, that and I wanted USC to [...]

Even my Grandma thinks the Eagles stink right now…

My Grandma, or as I call her, Nanny, is pretty cool. She stays in touch with me much of the time through emails, and they are often clever and witty. Anywho, she recently sent me a bunch of Eagles jokes she either made up or came across on her Internet travels. (Editor’s note: www.marthastewart.com?) Here, [...]

I love you, I love you not…The Pundit debates the future of Andy Reid

93-59, a .620 winning percentage (Regular Season)
8-6 (Playoffs)
1-3 (Conference Championship game)
0-1 (Super Bowl)
6 Playoff appearances in 9 full seasons
5 Division Championships in 9 full seasons
If you haven’t already guessed, these are the numbers compiled by Andy Reid since he became the Eagles head coach in 1999. Pretty impressive. And yet, there are many people in this town calling for his head. Let’s [...]

Maybe McNabb could take a page out of this book…

The Pundit
As found at NFL.com, after a Google search of “NFL rule book”:
Sudden Death

The sudden death system of determining the winner shall prevail when score is tied at the end of the regulation playing time of all NFL games. The team scoring first during overtime play shall be the winner and the game automatically ends [...]
