• Today in Philly Sports History: Eagles Blanked 42-0 by Seahawks, 2006

  
  — Authority:
  When your quarterback gets pulled in favor of a 33-year-old Koy Detmer haflway through a game, chances are better than not that youre going to lose that game 42-0. The Eagles found that one out the hard way on December 5th, 2005, when the Seattle Seahawks came to the Linc and very rudely thrashed their guests to the ...

• The Good, The Bad & The Questionable: Breaking Down the Ins and Outs of the AI Signing

  
  — Authority:
  With a little time to reflect now on the likely consequences of re-signing one of the greatest players in Sixers history, we see that as with many things in this life, there are two (and possibly three, somehow) sides to this coin. We wont know until at least Monday--and in reality, likely far later than that--whether ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: Lindros Accused of Assault, 1992

  
  — Authority:
  If Eric Lindros was to spend his career fighting accusations of prissiness and divadom, than the accusations levied against him on December 4th, 1992, in his first season as a Philadelphia Flyer, were likely something of a bad omen. Bar brawls are about as inextricable a part of the NHL fabric as trophy urination and ...

• Nobody Cares About Your Fantasy Team: Week 12 Results

  
  — Authority:
  With one week left in the 700 Level Inaugural Fantasy League regular season, two slots have been sewn up beyond a shadow of a doubt. Those will be occupied by MagMac#5 and Team Vicktory!, both of whom continue to roll this week and are currently dominating the league with their 9-3 records. The next two, however, are ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: Cunninghams End Zone Scramble, 1990

  
  — Authority:
  Randall Cunningham had many skills as a quarterback, but only one noteworthy enough to be namechecked in Jay-Zs "Heart of the City" decades later. Perhaps the QBs most famously fleet-footed moment came on December 2nd, 1990, in a game against the Buffalo Bills. About to be sacked in his own end zone by ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: Dikembes Triple-Double, 2001

  
  — Authority:
  The Sixers 2001 finals run was likely made possible by a trade swung by GM Billy King around the trade deadline in the 01 season, where he shipped injured all-star center Theo Ratliff to the Atlanta Hawks for three-time (soon to be four-time) Defensive Player of the Year Dikembe Mutombo. Dike was a monster in the ...

• Nobody Knows Anything: Sixers Avoid Iverson Qs For at Least 150 Minutes in Dallas

  
  — Authority:
  Grateful as I am that Philly sports fans actually have some reason-- any reason--to be talking about the Sixers again, I also cant help but wish that the discussion was surrounding something actually happening on the court , instead of persistent rumors and non-stories about Allen Iverson maybe possibly considering ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: Chuck Goes for 40 and 20, 1988

  
  — Authority:
  By the 1988-1989 season, with all remnants of the 83 championship team dispersed but for point guard Mo Cheeks (soon to be traded to San Antonio), the Sixers were clearly now Sir Charless team. He was playing like a franchise player, too, averaging 25 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and nearly two steals a game. One ...

• It Never Ends: Sixers vs. Spurs in San Antonio

  
  — Authority:
  Amidst all the injuries to key players (Lou Williams, Elton Brand, Marreese Speights) and the controversy about making a move to sign Allen Iverson (Kate Fagan thinks they shouldnt, I think they probably should), its important to remember that the Sixers still have to occasionally play basketball games. After a brief ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: Four for LeClair, 1998

  
  — Authority:
  Coming over in a trade with the Canadiens for Mark Recchi in 1995, John LeClair quickly helped soften the blow of losing the regular 100-point scorer. Quickly finding chemistry with linemates Mikael Renberg and Eric Lindros--collectively known as the Legion of Doom--LeClair had three consecutive fifty-goal seasons in ...

• AP Source: Iverson retirement may be brief

  
  — Authority:
  Allen Iverson is talking about a comeback. And the Philadelphia 76ers are at least discussing the idea of bringing back their former franchise superstar. A person with knowledge of the talks says the Sixers have been approached about signing the recently retired guard, and team management has held internal ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: Bubby Brister Leads Birds Over Skins, 1993

  
  — Authority:
  The Eagles likely werent hoping that Bubby Brister would end up starting eight games in the 1993 season when they picked him up to back up Randall Cunningham, but with RC riddled with a series of injuries for his last few years in the Green and White, Bubs did indeed spend half the season starting under center. The ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: The Adam Eaton Contract, 2006

  
  — Authority:
  It probably made sense at the time. Well, maybe. With starters Randy Wolf and Cory Lidle gone from the previous season, and Ryan Madson moving back to the bullpen, the team had some innings to fill, and Adam Eatons reputation as an innings-eater probably had something to do with the three-year, $24 million contract ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: Tom Chambers Ten Minutes as a Sixer, 1997

  
  — Authority:
  There was a time when Tom Chambers joining up with the Philadelphia 76ers would have been front page news. The 610" baller from Utah was one of the best power forwards in the league in the late 80s and early 90s, a four-time all-star, a 60-points-in-a-game scorer, and huge contributor to playoff teams in both Seattle, ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: AJ Feeley (Almost) Ruins the Pats Perfect Season, 2007

  
  — Authority:
  It couldve happened. The spread for the game between the Eagles and the Patriots on November 25th, 2007, was set at -23 1/2 for New England--at that point, the highest-ever spread for a game not involving an expansion team. The Eagles werent THAT terrible going in--they were 5-5 for the season, and just came off two ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: Wilt Grabs 55, 1960

  
  — Authority:
  Russell owned Wilt: Its an accepted fact. ESPN did a "Top Five Reasons You Cant Blame" about it, Bill Simmons devoted a whole chapter to it in his recent Book of Basketball. And its true that when certain numbers are analyzed, it does seem that Bill Russell had the perpetual upper hand on the Big Dipper. But some ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: McNabb Out, Kolb In, 2008

  
  — Authority:
  If anyone had said the Eagles were making the playoffs after this one... The Birds entered their game against the Ravens on November 23rd of last year as a 5-4-1 team, fresh off the humiliation of their tie with the deplorable Bengals the week before. Somehow, they managed to briefly make fans forget about the ...

• Today in Philly Sports History: Vai Punches the Goalpost, 1992

  
  — Authority:
  Im not quite sure how punching a goalpost a couple times after a punt return touchdown is enough to ensure your place in Philly sports immortality, but one of the most vivid memories of my Philly sports youth was that Vai Sikahema post-TD celebration, the clip seemingly following Vai for the rest of his career in ...
