Could Tavon Austin, Kenny Stills Free Agency Mean Jordan Matthews' Days As A Philadelphia Eagle Are Numbered?

JT Volpe

Reports indicate that the Kenny Stills free agency market is heating up, and its likely that the Miami Dolphins free agent wideout could command nearly $12MM annually. Stills, a blazing fast outside threat with decent hands, was drafted by the Saints in the 5th round in 2013, and spent two years in NOLA before getting shipped to Miami for a 3rd round pick and linebacker Dennel Ellerbe. Now the 24 year old former Sooner will be entering free agency for the first time in his career. The Eagles have been heavily reported contenders in the Stills sweepstakes, but what could the Stills free agency mean for the future of another receiver already wearing midnight green?

The Downfall of Sam Bradford

Jack Merlino

The 2016 NFL draft is upon us, and the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves at the heart of the latest league gossip. And at the heart of that heart is Sam Bradford, whose agent has gone public with his client's displeasure at the situation he's in. Let's review the timeline.

The Selection Committee is Cleverer Than You

Matt McCullers

Yeah, so it’s safe to assume that many of us are unhappy with the Selection Committee. It is maddening to see that teams like Syracuse and Tulsa were extended an invitation but teams like St. Bonaventure and Monmouth were denied one. In addition, some of the seeding just flat out did not make sense (I mean, how is Texas A&M a higher seed than Kentucky when the Wildcats BEAT them in the SEC Championship?). The root of all of this evil is the Selection Committee’s desire to be as clever as possible by creating potential match-ups between old conference foes and inventing new non-conference rivalries (one recent rivalry they unsuccessfully tried to create was a UNC-Kansas rivalry). Now, sometimes a little cleverness can be good, but this year it seems that the committee valued cleverness over straight statistical fact.

Top 20 Phillies Prospects (Pre-2016)

 Mid-2015 Top 20

Oh my God.

This offseason has...well...it's been electric.

I'm pretty sure every imaginable record for contracts has been broken except for overall salary, and there've already been multiple blockbuster trades. Heck, in what feels like the span of a week, Zack Grienke came out of nowhere to sign with Arizona, the same DBacks went and traded the remaining valuable parts of the farm system for Shelby Miller, and the Phillies traded Ken Giles, who was thought of as the closer of the future, for a quintet of Houston pitching prospects.

I'm Going "Ballistic" over What Jay Bilas Said

Matt McCullers

Last week, college basketball commentator and analyst Jay Bilas made this statement: none of the teams this year are as good as the top five from last year (this top five consists of Wisconsin, Kentucky, Duke, Arizona, and Virginia). Normally, I agree with Jay Bilas. He is by far my favorite commentator and he has an incredible knowledge of college hoops (despite attending that evil university). No offense Jay, but you’re dead wrong. I‘d let it slide if it were mentioned casually once or twice but you keep on talking about it and it’s driving me nuts.

Phillies Acquire Five Players From Houston for Ken Giles

Jack Merlino

The Phillies gave away youth and got even younger.

Late Wednesday night, new GM Matt Klentak made the first big move of his tenure as the Phillies matched up with their favorite trade partner and switched their traditional roles, with closer Ken Giles headed to Houston in exchange for pitchers Vincent Velasquez, Brett Oberholtzer, Mark Appel, Thomas Eshelman, and Harold Arauz

Hawk Talk: Sixers, Eagles, Kobe, Holy War

While the Warriors remain undefeated, the Sixers have still yet to win a game! To make matters worse, Jahlil Okafor might need a babysitter. Are the Eagles the worse team in football? Chip Kelly can cross USC off his list of potential jobs next season. The Panthers, on the other hand, may have a legitimate shot at an undefeated regular season. Finally, Kobe Bryant announced he will retiring following this season and Saint Joseph's takes on Villanova tomorrow night in the Holy War!
