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.

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.

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.

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

The Zay Flowers injury is huge for Baltimore. Very similar to AJ Brown/Eagles, the degree to which Ravens offense depends on him and revolves around him. Top line numbers don’t necessarily show it but he is an extreme prime mover

Chaos reigns in the NFL at head coach and at quarterback. For the Eagles, 2024 has already been won.
More than half of the league figures to enter 2025 with either a new coach, a new QB, or both. We are living in unprecedented times at quarterback, at both ends of the spectrum.

Jesus Luzardo is a real interesting pick up by the Phillies. Would assume this points to expectation that Painter will need at least an extended build-up period in the minors. With him and Suarez, Boras now has two guys who will warrant his close and careful attention this year

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths…🧵

Lot of commentary on this Villanova broadcast about how things used to be at VU, about how players used to stay and develop and whatnot — said as if that type of program is possible in today’s game, which it really is not.

This entire Bengals offense is predicated on Joe Burrow making throws that very few quarterbacks consistently make. Nothing easy schemed. Part of it the OL, sure. But expect more out of your coaches, people
