(Editor’s note: Ah, New Year’s. A time of year for all of the various articles handing out “best-of-the-year” awards to come pouring out. Not to be outdone, The Pundit has joined in the holiday tradition with his first annual “Punny Awards.” One quick note: These awards will not include the current Flyers, Sixers, or any [...]

The Pundit hands out some hardware for Philly’s best this year – It’s the first annual Punny Awards!

It sure is sunny in Philadelphia – The Pundit has a few more thoughts on yesterday’s epic day for our Eagles
Alright, first things first. In my previous post, I make mention of a strange phenomenon that seems to occur in Philadelphia sports – namely, that when our teams seem to be down for the count, and nobody has any hope left in them at all, they choose that moment to play their best and completely [...]

Do you believe in miracles? The Pundit can’t believe the Eagles are headed to the playoffs
(Editor’s note: Especially because he missed most of yesterday unfold, instead spending his day in New York, enjoying the Jets vs. Dolphins. Thus, he can’t really offer a full game analysis – but he has a few thoughts and tidbits he thinks you will enjoy).
At times, I can be prophetic. Like this little snippet from [...]

The Anticlimactic end? The Pundit dishes on Birds vs. Cowboys
(Editors’s note: The Pundit wrote much of this while listening to “Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in my Hand” by the Primitive Radio Gods. Over and over again, really. If you’re interested in the full interactive experience, he recommends you listen while you read this post. It adds a melancholy curiosity – [...]

“Twas the loss before Christmas” – The Pundit puts some holiday cheer into the Birds’ cruel defeat
(Editors’ note: Ah, our poetic Pundit. In lieu of both the holiday season and the most recent Eagles loss, The Pundit has adapted an old Christmas classic. With an Eagles theme, of course. It’s not perfect – apparently, the original is pretty damn long. But it comes close. Without further ado, The Pattison Pundit presents: [...]

10-3 Redskins. Unbelievable. The Pundit is BOILING as he attempts to do Game Notes
ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?
(Sigh) Well, the Eagles had everything fall into place for them before the start of the game. Tampa Bay lost to San Diego, and there it was in front of our Birds: win two, and head off to the playoffs.
And they couldn’t do it.

After the tumultous season the Eagles have had, they’re the sanest team in the NFC East? Actually, yeah…
Wait, that can’t be right. I mean, first, we had the controversy with Lito Sheppard. And all of the talk about how we couldn’t stop anybody’s running game and how Donovan couldn’t win the close ones. And then we tied the friggin’ Bengals, and Donovan admitted he didn’t know how the overtime system worked. Than, [...]

Fear the flex schedule: Determining when the Eagles will play the Cowboys next week, and why The Pundit is agonizing over it…
Before I get assaulted for assuming an Eagles victory this weekend against the Redskins, let me preface this post: the Redskins may be in turmoil, but this is an NFC East rivalry game. These teams don’t have much love for one another. The Redskins are still a pretty good team, and they want to salvage [...]

Stewart Bradley wipes, Donovan’s gripes: The Pundit’s quick notes on the Birds
Stewart Bradley is a multi-tasker. Skip to about the 8:45 mark on the audio below from an interview of Bradley on the Jody Mac show on 950 ESPN Radio, and listen for a certain whooshing sound. Maybe he thought it was a shitty interview? (Editor’s note: Or maybe he was just in a pissy mood).
