Unless something unforeseen happens, the 76ers will draft Ben Simmons first overall next month. Simmons will join Allen Iverson and Doug Collins as 76ers selected first. Simmons averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists a game his lone season at LSU. He has plenty of question marks following the season. His team embarrassingly didn’t…

Sam Bradford ended his hiatus from the Philadelphia Eagles Monday. Even after working with Zach Ertz and Jordan Matthews this off-season, Bradford wanted no part of Philadelphia because of how the front office handled the quarterback position. Obviously Bradford initially signed the contract, but his understanding was he’d have a legitimate chance to be the…

Sam Bradford signed a two-year deal in March. Days later the Eagles made Chase Daniel an expensive back up. The Eagles also made it known they would draft a quarterback somewhere in the 2016 NFL Draft. Bradford, however, didn’t know it would be the second pick in the entire draft.

It’s not the off-season until the Eagles do something drastic. Not that trading away DeMarco Murray, Kiko Alonso and Bryon Maxwell was the most drastic thing the Eagles have done, but it literally wiped away everything Chip Kelly did his lone year as general manager. It hasn’t been reported what exactly Philadelphia received for trading…

Philadelphia Eagles hired Doug Pederson over a month ago. It shocked nearly everyone for a number of reasons. It’s a toss-up which reason shocked people most: the fact the Eagles hired a guy whose only head coaching experience was high school or the Eagles hired a guy who was most recently an offensive coordinator for…

Even though the Philadelphia 76ers completed 64.6 percent of the season after last Wednesday’s numbing loss to Sacramento, the All-Star Break presents the best opportunity to discuss the team’s season.The 76ers faced different hurdles throughout the first part of the season.
