  • Against the odds, Embiid deserves All-Star consideration

    It has been a long, hard road for Joel Embiid over the last two seasons. He suffered a knee injury that need surgery, causing him to miss two months of the 2023-24 season. He returned for the playoffs, but issues with the knee remained, and as a result, he missed all but 19 games last season. Many wondered if we would ever see the Sixers’ big man anywhere near 100 percent again.

    Is Joel Embiid all the way back?

    If he isn’t, he’s getting awfully close.

    After a slow start, Embiid’s rhythm on the court has returned. A season that began with limited expectations for the perennial All-Star has suddenly become a man, as they say, back on his BS.

    Just as quickly as Embiid had vanished from the lineup with more knee soreness, his flow on the floor has returned, like getting back on a bicycle. His season that began as sluggish is now energetic, getting his groove back on both ends of the floor.

    Over the last five weeks, he has played 14 of the Sixers’ 17 games, averaging 28.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, shooting 53.1% from the floor, and adding a block per contest.

    Has he played well enough to earn his eighth All-Star Game appearance? His head coach, Nick Nurse, spoke on that recently.

    “I think that Joel’s really worked hard. It’s been a difficult road,” said Nurse. “I mean, again, that was a super serious injury, right? As we see, everybody takes—it takes a while to get back from that. Again, we talk about just the sheer size even makes it harder. I think, for him to get back—and I don’t know about any of that stuff, awards or All-Star games or anything, I think he’s getting to a point where he’s starting to feel better, which is evident in the way he’s playing.”

    While he has played just 25 of the Sixers’ 44 games, he’s averaging 25.1 PPG in those games. The only Eastern Conference forward who has a better scoring average is Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo (28.0), who was just placed on the injured list with a calf issue.

    He may not be back at his peak powers, but he’s playing well enough to be celebrated next month at the All-Star game. Teammate Tyrese Maxey doesn’t have an official vote, but he made his position clear a few days ago.

  • Drivers forced to take it slow as snow blankets King of Prussia

    KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (WPVI) — The roads in King of Prussia were littered with plowing crews on Sunday. Their job: part snow removal and part rescue.

    Along Route 202, video captured car after car spinning out and getting stuck.

    “What are you doing out here?” asked Action News’ Chad Pradelli.

    “Visiting a friend and getting some food,” said Janet Carboni of Warrington, Pa., who ventured out during the storm.

    Mark Rayfield’s dog was spotted taking a bathroom break during a quick walk.

    Rayfield drove from Boston on Sunday after visiting family.

    “It wasn’t bad until Connecticut. New York City was bad… a lot of closed roads, trucks stuck. Everything was fine until you hit plows, then it slows you down,” he said.

    Most businesses in the area were closed.

    Wegmans stayed open, but good luck finding those special ingredients.

    “I needed some tomatoes for my soup to keep warm today, and they are all out pretty much of everything,” said Mark Fernandez of King of Prussia.

  • Democrats will not provide votes to advance DHS funding bill in wake of Minneapolis shooting, Schumer says

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Saturday that Democrats will not put up the necessary votes to advance a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security in the wake of immigration agents shooting and killing a man in Minneapolis on Saturday. 

    “What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling —and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE,” Schumer said in a statement. “I will vote no. Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.”

    The House on Thursday passed a funding package, along with a separate measure to fund DHS, sending the bills to the Senate for approval, along with two other funding measures that passed the House last week. 

    In the Senate, the DHS funding measure was expected to be packaged with the other legislation that funds key federal departments in hopes the Senate passes the measures together before the Jan. 30 deadline to fund the government.

    To advance the legislation, Republicans will likely need eight Democrats to vote for the legislation, since Sen. Rand Paul has generally voted against appropriations bills. If the funding package does not pass the Senate, there will be another partial government shutdown.

    But on Sunday, Schumer called for the six-bill funding package to be broken up, allowing the Senate to pass the non-DHS portions “while we work to rewrite the DHS bill.”

    Schumer’s comments come after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed a 37-year-old man in south Minneapolis Saturday morning. Saturday’s shooting comes after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed Renee Good on Jan. 7 in South Minneapolis as well. Both victims are American citizens, and video of both incidents have spread quickly online.

    Family identified the victim in Saturday’s shooting as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive care nurse living in Minneapolis. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a news conference that the man who was killed “approached” U.S. Border Patrol officers while they were conducting “targeted” immigration enforcement operations, with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun. Noem said officers attempted to disarm him, but he “reacted violently,” and “fearing for his life and the lives of his fellow officers around him, an agent fired defensive shots.”

    Nevada Sens. Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, who were two of the eight Democrats who voted against their party to end the 43-day government shutdown last year, both said Saturday that they will not support the measure funding DHS. Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, another one of those eight Democrats, already said Friday he would not support funding DHS.

    Sen. Angus King of Maine, an independent who caucuses with Democrats and had consistently voted to keep the government open during the last shutdown, said Sunday on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that he would not vote to fund DHS.

    “I can’t vote for a bill that includes ICE funding under these circumstances — what they’re doing in my state, what we saw yesterday in Minneapolis,” he said. 

    King suggested separating out DHS funding from the rest of the appropriations package to avoid a shutdown. “If those bills passed, 96% of the federal government is funded,” King added.

    Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, said Saturday evening she “will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands.”

    Several other Democratic senators on Saturday did not support funding DHS, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Mark Warner of Virginia, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Andy Kim of New Jersey, Alex Padilla of California and Jon Ossoff of Georgia.

    Murphy and Padilla, along with a small group of Democratic senators, have spent the past two days calling colleagues to whip opposition to the DHS funding bill, according to a source familiar with the negotiations. 

    Senate Democrats are expected to hold a caucus call on the issue Sunday evening, a source told CBS News. 

    Although several House Democrats supported the bills to fund the government, prominent House Democrats on Saturday called on the upper chamber to reject the bill.

    “DHS just shot a man in broad daylight two weeks after they shot a mother in the face without consequence,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York posted on social media Saturday.  “They need our votes to continue. We cannot give it to them. Every Senator should vote NO.”

    And Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, in a debate Saturday in the race for the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, reasserted that she “absolutely voted against” funding DHS. 

    “There was no way I was going to continue to pump a historic amount of money into this rogue organization that is going out and is violating people’s rights every single day on American cities,” Crockett said. 

    A handful of Republicans in Congress also spoke out following the shooting. 

    Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican, called the events in Minneapolis “incredibly disturbing,” arguing that the “credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake” and calling for a joint federal and state investigation. 

    GOP Rep. Michael Baumgartner of Washington likewise said he’s “disturbed” by what he’s seen in Minnesota, while lauding the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee for seeking testimony from ICE leaders and other officials.

    The deadly Minneapolis shootings have occurred amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the city in recent weeks. Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday that the state “has had it,” and he called on the Trump administration to pull ICE agents from Minneapolis, characterizing their efforts an “absolute abomination.”

    The Trump administration has deployed 3,000 federal agents from ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection throughout Minnesota as part of “Operation Metro Surge.” Tensions between the federal agents and residents are high, especially after the Jan. 7 shooting and an altercation after an ICE officer shot a Venezuelan migrant in the leg last week

    Vice President JD Vance said Thursday in Minneapolis that many of those officers are not even doing targeted immigration enforcement, but instead are stepping in to protect ICE officers from clashes with protesters. He blamed a “failure of cooperation” by local and state authorities for the rising tensions. 

    On Friday, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of the Twin Cities to protest Operation Metro Surge, and hundreds of businesses closed in solidarity.

  • A Fond, Dominant Remembrance. – Philadelphia Sports Nation

    EaglesMore PHLNewsUnique Columns

    Photo Courtesy of Eagles Nation on X.

    Ok, full disclosure. Aside from the fact that we are in the midst of a frightful Philly January weekend — with nearly a foot of snow for most of us and no meaningful Eagles football scheduled until next September — I really have no reason for all of us to re-live the Eagles and Commanders NFC Championship Game from a year ago. 

    Let’s do it, anyway.

    The #2 seeded Eagles were in the NFC Playoffs after beating the Packers 22–10 in the Wildcard Round and the #4 seeded Rams 28–22 when they drew the #6 seed Commanders in the Championship Game in South Philly — who had throttled the top-seeded Lions in Detroit 45–21. The last time that the Eagles had faced a Division opponent in the NFC Championship was in 1981 —when they advanced to the first ever Super Bowl in franchise history by beating the Cowboys 20–7. 

    Now — it would be the Eagles who would put on offensive show.

    Jayden Daniels and the Commanders would open the scoring with a field goal on the first possession. Then — Cooper DeJean forced a Washington fumble after a hit on Dyami Brown and Reid Blankenship recovered. Saquon Barkley then scooted off the right side and into the end zone for a 14–3 Eagles advantage. Washington then rattled off nine straight points to cut Philadelphia’s lead to 14–12.

    After a pass interference penalty against the Washington secondary — preventing DeVonta Smith from catching a touchdown — Jalen Hurts plowed into the end zone from the one for a 20–12 advantage while Washington defensive backs Lattimore and Sainristil and A.J. Brown had a shoving match in the corner of the end zone. On the ensuing kickoff and a Jeremy McNichols fumble — the Eagles were on offense again and scored again thanks to a four-yard Jalen Hurts to A.J. Brown connection.

    In the third quarter — the Eagles padded the total by taking a 34–15 lead after a nine-yard Jalen Hurts touchdown run. Washington took momentum again and cut the lead to 34–23 with a Jayden Daniels touchdown run and a successful two-point conversion. 

    The Eagles stopped the Commanders comeback when Oren Burks stripped Austin Ekeler and Philadelphia recovered. Saquon Barkley then got tripped on the two yard-line to setup perhaps the most bizarre sequence of the game. The Eagles would run six Tush-Push plays with Washington jumping offsides a total of four times. The Commanders were advised by the referees that a touchdown could be awarded if the behavior continued — and subsequently Jalen Hurts scored on the sixth attempt for a 41–23 lead.

    Saquon then added a four-yard touchdown run after a Washington turnover on downs. On the next possession — Quinyon Mitchell would intercept Daniels in the endzone. Eagles rookie running back Will Shipley would then run eighty yards on the next drive to put the Eagles in front 55–23. 

    The first person to greet him was Saquon Barkley.

    Former Eagle Zach Ertz would haul in a total of eleven receptions for 104 yards for the Commanders. The Eagles would force four Washington turnovers before the game was over. And if you thought that this performance was impressive — the masterpiece of the Eagle’s season would be two weeks later — in Super Bowl LIX.

    10:00 am: Newark, DE – 4.9 inches

    Timeline of the winter storm in the Philadelphia region

    With temperatures in the teens initially, the snow will have the fluff factor, which means it will pile up and accumulate very quickly.

    Snow will start to changeover to sleet well south of the city by late morning into the early afternoon as milder air works its way into the storm.

    This mixing will continue to nudge toward the I-95 corridor into the afternoon and into the northwestern suburbs by the afternoon.

    As temperatures continue to rise, the shore will eventually switch over to plain rain with temperatures in the upper 30s.

    The location with the best chance of staying all snow will be far northwest into the Lehigh Valley and Poconos.

    The storm exits by late Sunday night.

  • What Does He Do? – Philadelphia Sports Nation

    Uncategorized

    The Philadelphia Eagles have had a nice run of success over the last several seasons under Head Coach Nick Sirianni. The Eagles have won games in different ways with different coaches over the years. Coaches like Greasy Neale(1941-1950) who won two Championships in 48′ & 49′. Dick Vermeil(1976-1982) who took the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 1980 and went on to win the Super Bowl with the Rams in 1999. Andy Reid(1999-2012) took the Eagles to four consecutive NFC Championships in 01′, 02′ 03′ & 04′(getting to the Super Bowl in 04′) and 08′. Andy went on to win three Super Bowls(to date) with the Chiefs. Doug Pederson(2016-2020) who brought the very first Lombardi Trophy to Philadelphia in 2017. and now Nick Sirianni(2021-Present) who has taken the Eagles to two Super Bowls(winning one) in his first five years with the team. Nick’s winning percentage so far is one of the highest all time of not just the above mentioned coaches, but of any coach who has ever coached in the NFL.

    During his time with the Philadelphia Eagles way back in the 1940’s Greasy Neale called plays for his offense. Neale was considered by many to be innovative for his time because he pioneered play action passes especially in short yardage situations. Greasy was recognized for his unique play calling designs. His installation of fake handoffs and long passes were definitely ahead of its time. Throughout Dick Vermeil’s coaching career he was known for being very hands on with his offenses and directly calling plays. Vermeil ran what was referred to as “perimeter friendly” schemes where he created in depth playbooks that featured hundreds of plays which incorporated specialized personnel groups. Andy Reid has always been the primary play-caller during his years of success in Philly and now in Kansas City. Andy is known being well prepared, and for his creativeness in designing ways to get the ball his top play makers which is commonly referred to as the “first 15”. Reid is widely recognized for his offensive expertise from decades of coaching in the NFL. Doug Pederson played under Coach Reid in Green Bay and in Philadelphia as a backup quarterback. Coach Reid then hired Doug in 2009 as an offensive quality control coach, later promoting him to quarterbacks coach in 2011. In 2013 Coach Reid became the head coach in KC and brought Doug with him to be his offensive coordinator, which lasted for until 2015. Pederson then became the head coach in Philadelphia where he called plays(including the infamous “Philly Special” in SB 52) just like his mentor(Reid) who Doug gives a lot of credit to for molding him as a coach over the years they spent together.

    Nick Sirianni is a breed of his own, and has had a different approach to his head coaching. Nick tried to call plays when he first took over the Eagles in 2021. However, he stopped calling plays in the middle of the 2021 season and hasn’t since. Sirianni is involved in his offensive game planning, but he prefers to let his offensive coordinators call the plays during games taking on more of the “CEO” style of coaching. Nick has had some really good and really bad offensive coordinators in his tenure in Philadelphia. From 2021(mid season)-2022 Shane Steichen was the OC in Philly when he helped the Eagles win 14 games in 2022 and reach the Super Bowl. Steichen has gone on to be the head coach for the Colts and during this last season had his team at the top of the AFC until they lost their starting QB for the year. In 2023 Brian Johnson was promoted from within to OC in Philly. Johnson’s only season as OC in Philly started off looking promising, but the team collapsed down the stretch and he was fired in the offseason. Sirianni decided to go a different route in 2024 when he hired Kellen Moore from outside of the organization. This would ultimately turn out to be the best hire of Nick Sirianni’s coaching career because Moore would be highly instrumental in not only getting the Eagles back to the big game but blowing out Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. Moore moved on to become the head coach for the Saints this past season and once again Sirianni decided to promote from within which ultimately turned out to be disastrous for the team in 2025. Kevin Patullo was made the OC and yes the Eagles made the playoffs, however that was more of a result of the NFC East being a weak division with the Cowboys(the next best team) only winning 7 games. The Eagles were bounced from the playoffs in the first round at home by an injury riddled 49ers team that would go on to get destroyed the following week in Seattle. During his tenure with the Eagles, Coach Sirianni has made the playoffs every year, granted some years have looked more like “playoofs” with early exits in 21′, 23′, & 25′. However, Nick has shown great resiliency/resolve with his teams being NFC Champions in 22′ and winning the Super Bowl in 24′. So with the Eagles once again being one and done the real question shouldn’t be “what does he do?”, it should be “what will he do?”.

  • Mailbag: Thoughts on the Eagles’ coaching search, and their current coaches

This will be Part I of a two-part mailbag, and will focus on the coaches and the coaching search, which if I’m being honest I find tedious and boring 🤷‍♂️. Part II will be more about Eagles players.
