- No activity from the Eagles before the trade deadline. I get it that the Birds have an old roster. They need to build through the draft. Yet at the same time, there is a window open for another Super Bowl run, and reinforcements would have helped. This team still needs help in the secondary, on the defensive line, and at wide receiver.
Either the Eagles are going for it or not. GM Howie Rossman is telling the fan base "If we don't, we don't" along with awful Phillies President Andy MacPhail. What good are the draft picks if you don't make wise selections? Without Joe Douglas, who fled to New York and the Jets, is Howie being exposed as an inept general manager?
Howie is counting on injured players, like DeSean Jackson and Tim Jurragen, to return and make contributions. But were those players good enough to begin with ?
Jackson may be back this week vs the Bears. That's stupid, if true. With the bye coming up next week, why not keep him out yet another week to make sure he good to go for the rest of the sea son?
Speaking of the Bears, I think both ex Bears, Jordan Howard and Alshon Jefferies, will have big games this Sunday at the Linc. Chicago is having its own problems. The Eagles are finally home and I predict a blow-out win for Philly. Details tomorrow.

There's nothing like a Game 7 in the World Series. Teams play all spring, summer and fall for a chance to get into the playoffs and the Fall Classic. Everything boils down to one game, winner-take-all.
That's the scenario tonight when Washington visits Houston. The series is tied 3-3, with every game being won by the visiting team. Will the trend continue or will a home team finally get to celebrate on their home field?
It's Max Scherzer for the Nationals tonight vs Zach Greinke for the Astros. I've been rooting for Washington all along. They are the wild card team out of the National League and the Nats winning their first ever World Series would be well deserved. They beat Arizona in the Wild Card Game, then defeated the mighty Dodgers and the cardinals to face Houston.
Winning a championship can be done as a wild card club, Andy MacPhail.
Houston after losing it's first two games at home, stormed back in this World Series, sweeping all 3 games in Washington. The Astros have the better club overall, but in a one-game playoff for the world championship, anything can happen.
My prediction is that a home team finally breaks through and wins. Houston will win tonight and be the champs. Baseball season will officially be over. Let the Hot Stove season begin!!
