NFL:

 

The Philadelphia Eagles fell short in the 2023 Super Bowl LVII game against the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35.  The Eagles were favored to win. The team lost by a field goal kick from Kansas.  What a let down!  The Eagles defense played a lack luster game, and where were AJ Brown, DeVonte Smith and Miles Sanders?  We cannot blame the officials when the Eagles were leading for the majority of the game.  The Eagles did not seal the deal!!!

 

We don’t know what the Eagles will look like in the 2023-2024 season, due to off season free agency.  Currently, there are 20 players up for grabs in the free agency trades, including some notable players:

 

Fletcher Cox                                                  

Jason Kelce                                        

Brandon Graham

Javon Hargrave

Miles Sanders

Ndamukong Suh

Boston Scott

Gardner Minshew

                       

NBA:

 

The Philadelphia 76’ers are in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference, with a record of 39 wins, and 20 losses.  Joel Embiid is leading the way!!!!

 

The Denver Nuggets are in 1st place in the Western Conference with a record of 42 wins and 19 losses.

 

NBA Playoffs are set to begin in April.  Who will make it????
