SPORTS TALK WITH COACH D
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY KWANZAA!
THIS YEAR HAS BEEN A SPORTS ROLLER COASTER RIDE, WITH ITS UP AND DOWNS THROUGH COVID-19. BUT WE MADE IT!! ALL SPORTS HAVE RETURNED WITH STRICT COVID-19 PROTOCALS IN PLACE FOR ALL ATHLETES, PROFESSIONAL, COLLEGIATE, HIGH SCHOOL, AND RECRETIONAL SPORTS. Let's get started....
NBA
The Philadelphia 76’ers are #8 in their division. The team continue to fall short without Ben Simmons. Ben continues to hold out in order to be traded and has not attended or played in a scheduled game. Joel Embiid has missed some valuable playing time due to covid-19 or injury. In his absence the team struggle to win games. This is the first half of the season and with commitment and hard work from the team we can go into the last half on top.
LET’S GO SIXERS!!
NFL
The Philadelphia Eagles can’t catch a break or the ball!!! The Eagles are currently in 3rd place in the NFC East with a record of (5 wins- 7 losses), below 500%. The Eagles QB Jalen Hurts and Coach Serianni put the team in bad situations, not knowing when or where to throw or run the football. Turnovers are the #1 achilles heel for the team. All of the players must stay off. The I.R. list if we are expected to play in the post season.
The Eagles have a 23% chance of making it into post season. We must defeat The New York Jets on December 5, 2021; Seattle must defeat San Francisco 49’ers; Dallas must defeat New Orleans; and the Minnesota Vikings must defeat Detroit Lions.
