The City of Philadelphia Eagles fan's are ecstatic that the Philadelphia Eagles are going back to the Super Bowl! This year the Super Bowl will take place in New Orleans on February 9th at 6:30pm EST. If you don't plan to travel to NOLA to watch live, you can watch it on Fox as well as Tubi. The Eagle will face a touch team, previous Super Bowl Champions as well, the Kansas City Chiefs. Bring the popcorn, because this game will be good. The Eagles players are all hungry and we are rooting for them to bring home the Trophy. Unfortunately, an 18 year old Temple Student, Tyler Sabapathy, died after falling off of a pole he climbed during the celebration of the Eagles making it to the Super Bowl. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. May he rest in peace and this horrible incident serve as a message to not climb the poles when (yes, when) the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX. May we all celebrate responsibly. Let's GO BIRD NATION! Let's Go Philly! E.A.G.L.E.S. Eagles! All hands on deck!

The Philadelphia 76’ers continue to struggle this season. Embiid has been out with an unknown injury. If you ask me, it is time for him to move on. His sporadic game appearances are not helping the team. The process has been processed. I think a mutual agreement should be met from both team management and Embiid to go live out the rest of his career somewhere else. Embiid has been out since January 4, 2025. He hasn’t been able to build real chemistry and gel with Paul and Tyreese. Looking forward to next season, hoping the team will make moves during the offseason to rebuild.
