Phillies
It's been a long time since September was used as a testing ground for next season. Heck, August is being used like that right now.
There are some encouraging performances that are being given right now. But, there are a number of new faces that will be seen by the time next season beings.
It would be just as difficult to fully claim that the Phillies will return to playoff contention next season, as it would be to think that they won't. Much work is yet to be done before any accurate assessment can be made in this regard.
Eagles
I don't really care how this season plays out. Andy Reid has earned something from me that he never had before - full respect.
The manner in which he has handled his son's death has said more to me about who that man is than any football games ever have.
I respect him deeply and wish him the best all around. God Bless him and his family.
Sixers
The 76ers new ownership group is incredible. Now that this trade has apparently been made, the team has been transformed from last season's playoff group.
This has become a far more balanced squad through all of the offseason moves. Most importantly, they will be led by Mr. Doug Collins. That great coach is ready to take Philadelphia's basketball team to new heights.
Flyers
The injury that Andrej Meszaros suffered last week (torn right Achilles tendon) was repaired by surgery today. Obviously Philly fans connected this dire dot to that of Ryan Howard's same injury (left Achilles tendon) that happened at the end of last season.
Losing Meszaros is very troubling for this Flyers team. I'm not sure how Holmgren can compensate. Basically he and Peter Laviolette need two of their young defensemen to step up and play well all season long.
Baseball cards
For those of us who are old enough to remember When Baseball Cards were King, the spring is always a special time of year.
Bygone days spent with elementary school days and family members opening packs of Topps cardboard gold never truly fade away.
Hockey
Here is a hockey story that all ice fans will like: The mystery behind these 1970s Topps hockey cards is revealed.
