About

Bernie Ollila is a graduate of Ball So Hard University, where he earned degrees in Ballin', Hardness, and Literature.

Armed with only a boomerang and his cold blood, Mr. Ollila spends his weekends hunting wild big cats in the world's most treacherous jungles, wooing exotic women with an acoustic guitar he fashioned out of beachwood, and playing flag football.

Bernie hit .750 in his company softball league and was probably the worst fielding third baseman in the history of softball.

Bernie Ollila is a Flyers, Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers fanatic.

Bernie also greatly appreciates you reading his articles.

    Bernie, who do you think the Eagles should select now with the 4th overall pick? I do remember you once having them select Manti T'eo in your 7 round mock draft, but im pretty sure you probably feel different about that pick after watching the National Championship game.

    I think the the defense would benefit from his hire! we have to wait and see, if i was Chip I would go for it, but if chip comes in with a big Ego and wants to bring in more college staff thats going to hurt, he needs a seasoned pro coach to help him adjust.

    B do you think Eagles should run after Ray Horton? he had a very nice defensive scheme.

    Yep, don't forget about Lannan either. I could care less about his signing, though. The Phils also signed Aaron Cook to a minor-league deal. Should be interesting.

    Shocker about Chip Kelly. I don't think he's the right fit here at all. Hopefully he's got the smarts to bring in a proven defensive coordinator.
