About Cody »

I am a diehard Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies fan. I obsess over every facet of the game. My true love is the statistics of the games. I am always trying to expand my knowledge through new and improved stats I can use in my articles.

I love reading articles on this site. Feel free to post any and every of your articles on my board, especially if it deals with the Eagles or Phillies, and I can virtually guarantee you I will read it and leave a comment.

Brian Dawkins is my favorite athlete of all-time. No one plays the game with as much passion as he does. He's a future Hall of Famer, a man of God, and a leader on and off the field. Jim Johnson, you will never be forgotten.

My life has been changed forever by the 2008 World Champion Philadelphia Phillies. I never thought I would see a champion in Philly, but I think the Phillies are primed to repeat as champs again this year.

I am blessed to be a community leader for both the Eagles and the Phillies. I just cracked the top 50 writers on this website and I plan to reach the top 10 by next football season.

Everyone has dreams of playing a professional sport. Sirr Parker did in football. But it was impossible for him to do that from where he grew up. But he made it, and he's truly remarkable. It's a story I'd love to share with you:
