Golden Tate said he was at a doctors appointment just before he found out he was traded to the Eagles yesterday afternoon."My mouth kinda dropped," Tate said, anxiously addressing reporters Wednesday afternoon a day after being swapped for a third round pick. "I read all the articles, I followed along, I think I knew before my agent."Leaving Detroit, Tate hopped on a flight to Philadelphia and — as Eagles fans have proven without a shadow of a doubt over the last year or so — experienced the true "everywhere-ness" of Birds fans."I was actually on a flight with about a dozen people who had a layover from London," Tate said, referring to a few of the thousands of Philly fans who attended the Eagles win over Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium last Sunday. Tate says he already likes Philly fans."I met one guy, he went to the game, he cheered loud, [on the plane] he was talking to everyone and said 'I know them from the game.' I am the kind of player who is emotional, I am … [Read more...] about Golden Tate flew to Philadelphia with Eagles fans on his flight after being traded

Here’s the lone ballot question Philadelphia voters must decide
With less than a week to go before the 2018 election, Philadelphia voters are busy doing their homework on the candidates who will appear on this year's ballot. There is one important question Philadelphia residents will have to answer at the polls on Tuesday. Should the city borrow $181 million? Here's the exact language of the question as it will appear on the ballot: Should the City of Philadelphia borrow ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($181,000,000.00) to be spent for and toward capital purposes as follows: Transit; Streets and Sanitation; Municipal Buildings; Parks, Recreation and Museums; and Economic and Community Development?A similar ballot question appeared during the 2016 election, when voters decided the city should borrow $184 million for the same capital purposes. It should be noted that the language of the question does not reflect the order of priority for the borrowed funds. In fact, transit would receive the lowest expenditure despite being listed first in … [Read more...] about Here’s the lone ballot question Philadelphia voters must decide
‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ completes Eagles Super Bowl special tonight
Fans who tuned in for last week's episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" were left with a cliffhanger. In part one of the Super Bowl special, Charlie, who got left behind in Philly as The Gang traveled to Minneapolis, made a mess of Paddy's Pub in an effort to defend it. His "Home Alone"-style booby traps ended up severely injuring him as cardboard cutouts of Jason Kelce and Beau Allen turned into encouraging hallucinations. What we didn't get to see was Mac, Dee and Frank's trip to Minneapolis (this is one of the episodes that omitted Dennis). Based on a trailer for Wednesday night's episode, it's questionable whether they ever made it there.If Charlie doesn't bleed to death, there's a good chance they'll come back with a disturbing story to tell him. The entire special seems to make fun of the idea that every action of every superstitious fan has a direct impact on the outcome of every Eagles game. If they win, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, but if they lose it's … [Read more...] about ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ completes Eagles Super Bowl special tonight

Philadelphia’s decadent ‘Wing Bowl’ no more after 26 years
PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia's annual decadent display of binge eating and bad behavior known as Wing Bowl is over after 26 years. The event hosted by a sports radio station the Friday before the Super Bowl drew thousands of rowdy fans to the Wells Fargo Center in the early morning hours to kick off Super Bowl weekend. WIP hosts Angelo Cataldi and Al Morganti announced the end of Wing Bowl on the air Tuesday morning. Morganti originally came up with the idea as a way to get Philadelphia sports fans through another championship weekend without the home team. He implied the city doesn't need it anymore, adding: "It's like that Greek god who put the rock up the hill.
