Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan. This Eagles team doesn’t seem to get comfortable until it is behind. Can’t argue with the results. 2-0. Bring on DeSean.

I Don’t Get It: Jonathan Papelbon. I don’t get it even a little bit.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Darren Sproles. The guy has the city in the palm of his hand after 2 games.
