It's New Year's resolution time. Here's what prominent sports figures are (or should be) saying.
The last thing anyone expected out of the 2013 Eagles season was a storybook performance from Nick Foles.
A season of transition brought a new coach with a breath of fresh air and a new identity as a team. There were adjustments along the way as Chip Kelly adjusted to life as an NFL coach after serving an entire career at the college level, but his players bought in to the mentality Kelly introduced to them and fought their way to an NFC East division title few saw coming before the season started.
At times, it seemed like the Eagles were a team of destiny. A lucky bounce here and there, a convenient injury to an opponent, the top rated passer in the NFL, and the leading rusher.
There are some trends in the NFL that make sense, even when they don't always come true. The Saints having trouble on the road, in the cold, makes some sense. West coast teams having trouble when they fly to the East Coast for a 1pm game, makes some sense.
Andy Reid's first season in Kansas City as head coach of the Chiefs started with a bang, and ended with a thud.
Well, the Eagles have lost, so for a little while we can focus on making up trades for the Sixers that will probably never happen.
JayVaughn Pinkston scored 19 points to lead Villanova in a 91-61 romp over Providence on Sunday night.
Phil Dawson kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired to lead the 49ers past the Packers 23-20 on Sunday night .
If the Eagles going from worst to first under rookie coach Chip Kelly was the biggest surprise, Foles' emergence had to be second on that list.
San Diego took advantage of Andy Dalton's three turnovers in the second half on Sunday, pulling away to a 27-10 victory.
I've always said, I'd rather my team lose a big game in a blow out than lose at the buzzer, or in the final seconds. Final second losses sting the most because all you can think about afterwards is, "what if this", "what if that." You replay those moments over and over again.
The New Orleans Saints had never won a road playoff game and were often marred by their road woes and the "cold curse." Temperatures in Philadelphia were down in the twenties and Drew Brees was faltering, but the Saints left it in the hands, or on the foot, of their newest player in Shayne Graham.
If grades would have been handed out after the first half of the game, the Indianapolis Colts would have received straight F's across the entire board. With the second largest comeback in NFL playoff history ousting the Kansas City Chiefs, it's quite amazing what a difference just 30 minutes can make.
A last-second field goal by Shayne Graham brought an end to the first season of the Chip Kelly era as the Saints left Philadelphia with a 26-24 victory in the NFC Wild Card playoff. The time for season-long evaluations will come over the coming week, but for now let's take a quick look at how the Eagles performed in this game.
