Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.

The Eagles seem intent on proving that they simply are not among the elite teams in the NFL. They’ve been dominated by Green Bay and Seattle, and also lost on road to Arizona and San Francisco.

I Don’t Get It: Yes, the refs were atrocious. No, I don’t think that was difference in the game.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to all those involved in the post-game ‘die-in’ protest at Broad and Pattison, for not creating what could have been a very ugly scene.
