Our 0-for-November is over.
The Flyers won in overtime last night at the Wells Fargo Center.
It marked the first time a pro sports team in our fine city managed to win on their home turf since Oct. 24, when the Flyers stopped the Rangers.
The Sixers once again had a lead last night, but of course they coughed it up and fell to the T-Wolves.
And the Eagles. Well, you might have heard they are having a few problems of their own.
Of course, if you're Chip Kelly, you can simply stand up their in front of the microphones and rattle off those rapid-fire, staccato responses that just drip of a guy who has nothing but contempt for the gathered media, or the fans either for that matter.
Kelly is slowly learning what it took more than a decade for Andy Reid to realize.
That arrogant attitude is all well and good when you're rattling off 10-6 seasons and going to the playoffs.
But when things go the other way, such as Kelly's less than impressive 4-6 Eagles are after a brutal loss to Tampa Bay, it doesn't fly.
Kelly isn't budging. He has no plans to make any lineup changes, and thinks everyone else is in a panic simply because the Birds lost two in a row.
I hope he's right.
I don't think he is.
This is a fundamentally flawed team, one not especially suited to Kelly's offense.
Chip constantly preaches that his system works regardless of who is running it.
His team is proving him wrong.
