Roenick wants Eagles in Super Bowl

Via Puck Daddy, JR talks football at his blog, roenicklife.com:

Have to love my Eagles beating the Super Bowl champs, and I love how Donovan is playing.

How great would it be if the  Phillies and Eagles win championships in the same year. WOW, Philly fans deserve it big time! Although, my buddy Big Ben in Pitt played great and has the Steelers poised for a Super Bowl run. Eagles vs Steelers super bowl…now that would be sick!!

The man still loves Philly, we all know that. How awesome would it be if he came back and worked at Comcast SportsNet after retiring?

The Week In Philadelphia Sports, 12/1 - 12/7

This is a Flyers blog, obviously, but for the most part, we’re all fans of the other Philly teams too. So with that, I’ve decided to write a once-weekly post on the week that was around the Philadelphia sports landscape. Without further ado, the week of December 1st - 7th in Philly sports…

Monday, December 1

The Phillies decided to not give arbitration to Pat Burrell and Jamie Moyer. What’s that mean? Phillies Nation had an excellent post on the subject.

While I’m not big on acting sentimental, as Amaro put it, I’m all for making smart decisions. Do I want Burrell back for three or four years? Maybe not. Do I want Moyer back for a ridiculous amount? Probably not. But do I want to maximize the ability to win while minimizing long-term risk? Heck yes.

Silly move, Ruben. Silly move.  -Tim Malcolm, philliesnation.com
