About Jeff »

Body raised in New Jersey, heart raised in Philly. I grew up in central Jersey, where the majority of people are New York fans. I was raised a Philadelphia sports fan by my father who grew up in Camden, New Jersey (right across the bridge from Philly) and who went to college in Philly. I was taken to Eagle games in the 700-level as a child, as well as going to both Game 7 Sixers playoff games during their run to the NBA Finals.

I fell in love with the city, it's sports teams, and it's fans. I still have season tickets for the Eagles, as well as the partial-season tickets for the Flyers and Sixers. I went to every Flyers playoff game last year except for one, and can't wait to do it again this year.

As for the Phillies, I had to watch most of the playoffs from the comfort of my living room, but I was able to make it up to Philly for Game 3 and both parts of Game 5. Greatest experience of my life. Having been dreaming about a Philadelphia championship since my birth, to see it happen in person was unreal.

My only regret is not being able to go to Tampa and watch the Eagles win the Super Bowl. I had the plane tickets bought and was ready to go. Why couldn't they stop the Cards on 4th and short? Just one of the many questions that continue to haunt me as an Eagles fan, but that Super Bowl is coming. I can feel it.

I am currently a freshman at Drexel University, studying Global Journalism.

More bad news for the Eagles' defense...

How do you recover from the loss of Bradley, Dawkins, and Jim Johnson?

Quintin Demps & DeSean Jackson did plenty of damage as our returners last season, but are they ready to hand the return duties over to Ellis Hobbs & Jeremy Maclin?

Either way, I can't remember the last time we as Eagles fans have seen our team with FOUR legitimate return threats!

The Eagles drafted WR Jeremy Maclin this past weekend, ensuring the team will have the NFL's fastest - and one of the best - group of receivers next season.

Two weeks ago, I wrote Part 1 of a two-part series, recapping Andy Reid's 15 worst coaching decisions of his career. This article is Part 2 of that series, telling the 15 best coaching decisions of Reid's career.

I stumbled across this guy's name by accident once and I fell in love with his story. It's one of the most inspiring and unbelievable stories you'll ever hear.

If you get a chance, check this out. Thanks!

This past Friday, Gary Sheffield hit his 500th home run. 500 home runs symbolizes years of hard work, dedication, and talent. And it guarantees the Hall of Fame. Right?

Not anymore...

My recap of the Phillies' first week of the season. Despite the obvious struggles (starting pitching), this team has emerged with a 4-3 record. That puts the 2009 team on pace to win more games than it did in the 2008 World Championship season...

This is a new one for me. It's not an NFL article. It's not an MLB article. It's not even a Top 10 list.

This is about one of the most incredible athletes I have ever heard about. I bought his autobiography a week ago and read the entire thing in one sitting. Check this out if you get a chance.

Andy Reid is a highly controversial figure in Philadelphia. Some people love him; others hate him. I thought I would do a two-part series covering the best and worst coaching decisions of his career.

In a sport where guys start to show their age in their early to mid 30s, the Phillies' Jamie Moyer is a physical freak of nature. In a good way.
