The Reid brothers were sentenced today on charges related to their separate traffic incidents in January. Britt Reid was sentenced to 8 to 23 months in jail plus 5 years' probation. Garrett Reid got 2 to 23 months in jail plus 1 year of probation. Both of them could apply for a special drug court […]

When last we checked in on Eagles coach Andy Reid's two jailbirds, Garrett Reid was jailed after failing to show up for a mandatory drug test. Well, a week ago, Garrett was let out on bail again after a negative test. He got chastised by the judge, though, as his excuses were lame. To summarize: […]

I was shocked to see this video on Deadspin that makes it look like someone in England actually cares about the NFL’s London matchup between the Giants and Dolphins this Sunday, including a giant Jason Taylor robot. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ijr1_6Q6C0] The NFL has been busting its butt to make this game relevant, but I’m not so sure […]

By special request… 😛 The most mind-boggling thing isn’t how Andy Reid refuses to commit to the run. That’s an old, old story. Yesterday the running backs gained 5 yards per carry in the first half, but after 12 first-half rushes Brian Westbrook got the ball only 6 times rest of the way. Nor is […]

Local media outlets are reporting that Garrett Reid, the oldest son of Eagles coach Andy Reid, is now in jail along with his brother Britt. Garrett failed to show up for a court-ordered drug test today and was subsequently arrested. Both Reid brothers were arrested in separate incidents on the same day back in February. […]

Sacks (of the quarterback kind) and sacking (of the fire-the-coach kind) highlighted NFL Week 4. The photo here is of San Diego Chargers coach Norv Turner taken from a Chargers fan forum. It sums up what Bolt fans think of their new coach, who took a 14-2 team from a year ago and has run […]

Just some random observations from the Eagles' 56-21 rout of the Detroit Lions, and not really about the game itself… Plenty of tailgaters were taking up multiple spaces in the parking lot. Prior to the home opener a week ago the Philadelphia Daily News reported on new parking regulations banning taking up more than one […]

The NFC continues to show it’s the JV of the NFL, which is a good thing for teams that want to make a Super Bowl run (Carolina, Chicago, Seattle are three recent examples). But teams in the conference fall as quickly as they rise. Case in point: Chicago and New Orleans, the two conference finalists […]

The Philadelphia Eagles, my NFC Super Bowl pick, are now 0-2 after dropping a desultory 20-12 game to the Washington Redskins. For the second week in a row, the Philadelphia offense was offensive. Donovan McNabb looks like he’s on the downside of his career, the “receivers” are that in name only and the Eagles have […]

I was so disappointed in LaDanian Tomlinson’s whining after his team’s playoff loss to the Patriots last season (“They showed no class at all . . . and maybe it comes from the head coach”), and he hasn’t stopped since. He shot a Nike commercial in the offseason that was supposed to feature him running […]

Thoughts on the Indianapolis Colts’ 41-10 butt kicking of the New Orleans Saints to kickoff the NFL season: –If you have a fantasy team and your receivers play the New Orleans Saints: Start them! The Saints had one of the worst pass defenses a year ago and it looks no better this season. Peyton Manning […]

Finally, the season is starting (in about two hours from when this is written). So I am on the record and subject to mocking later: Colts 34, Saints 16. –-Jim Buzinski Finally, the season is starting (in about two hours from when this is written). So I am on the record and subject to mocking […]

Condolences to New Orleans Saints fans — Sports Illustrated picks the Saints to win the Super Bowl, a sure sign the team is destined for a lousy season. Last year, the SI braintrust picked Miami and Carolina to be in the Super Bowl and neither team made the playoffs. SI tabs San Diego to lose […]

In his first three series against the Colts on Monday, Rex Grossman fumbled twice and threw an interception. It’s only preseason, but Grossman is already in Super Bowl form. —Jim Buzinski In his first three series against the Colts on Monday, Rex Grossman fumbled twice and threw an interception.
