* The Sixers play in London today- 3:00 p.m. our time. They take on the Boston Celtics in what is a Sixers home game.It will be interesting to see how Joel Embiid is perceived in England. The Brits should love him.
The team returns to the States over the weekend, next facing Toronto at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday.
* Speaking of London, as I wrote here last week, the Eagles will play in London this fall. The Jacksonville Jaguars will "host" the Birds in October at Wembley Stadium. It will be the first time that the Eagles play in London. Seattle and Tennessee will also visit London next October for the first time.
Jay Ajayi is a London native, and I'm sure the Brits will be interested in check out Carson Wentz .The game vs the Jags should be a good game football-wise, as the Jags are also a playoff team. Jacksonville plays one of their home game sin England every season, since they have problems selling-out their games.
Eagles fans have variety in their road trips this fall. There's another trip to Los Angeles to play the Rams; there's a Florida trip to face the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay; a swing down Easy Street in New Orleans to take on the Saints; and now the London excursion.
More interesting jaunts to see the Birds play than, let's say, Cleveland or Detroit. Fall 2018 would be the perfect time to go on an Eagles road trip.
