There are many “sports drinks” that are great for re-hydration and getting electrolytes back into you system, so by no means do I want to punt them away.
But, chocolate milk offers you a great mix of carbohydrates and proteins to help jump start the rebuilding and recovery process.
The Eagles are still hopeful for a title run this season even with the loss of Nick Foles and DeMeco Ryans. If they want to have a chance, rookie kicker Cody Parkey must be a weapon the Eagles can count on. So far so good.
Chip Kelly met with reporters to talk about the Carolina Panthers, their opponent on Monday. He also answered questions about injured players such as Todd Herremans and Nick Foles.
Alex Andersen is latest standout Raider to play college football. List includes Ted Dean (56) who helped the Eagles win their last title.
Andersen is leaving some serious football folklore behind and may not yet realize he is entering an even higher level of gridiron tradition as he starts his college career.
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll talks about his team’s 5-3 record. Life as defending Super Bowl Champion and cornerback Richard Sherman who most would say is not playing like the “Best corner in the game.”
In all likelihood Big Blue was going to lose to the Colts on Monday Night Football at MetLife Stadium, but they took themselves out of any chance for an upset but simply not playing smart.
Dumb penalties, dropped passes by both wide receivers and defensive backs, plus a lack of focus by both players and head coach Tom Coughlin all added up to a 40-24 loss.
Eagles fans can be happy that their team is off to a great start. But that first half success has come at a price. Starting quarterback Nick Foles is out for at least a month but will return. The biggest loss was linebacker DeMeco Ryans, who is out for the season.
There was a lot of everything that the went on during and after the Eagles (5-2) thrilling 24-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals (6-1) at the University Phoenix Stadium Sunday: Big plays on on offense and defense, Big bombs by Carson Palmer (75-yarder to John Brown), a 54-yard Nick Foles to Jeremy Maclin, stellar defensive play by LB DeMeco Ryans for the Eagles and S Rashad Johnson for the Cardinals.
For Justin Pugh, the unpleasantness of the Giants’ 27-0 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday continued long after he left Lincoln Financial Field.
“It’s like a nightmare,” Pugh said today. “When I was sleeping I wasn’t sure if I was having a nightmare or if that really just happened.”
The New York Football Giants knew this was going to be a tough business trip to Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia. It was all that and more.
They never could have imagined losing 27-0 the the Eagles and being dominated at the line of scrimmage like they were by Philadelphia.
