If you’re a typical Eagles fan like I am, the Super Bowl is little more than an exercise in commercial watching and seeing how much taco dip you can fit on one chip, then subsequently fit into your mouth. If anything, we’re usually rooting against someone.
This year though, we get to watch two genuinely likable [...]

Championship Sunday Recap
After a long and winding season, we are left with the 2 teams that most would have guessed at the end of the first month. The two #1 seeds, and the last 2 undefeated teams during the regular season (Saints were 13-0 before falling to Dallas and Indy was 14-0 before resting their starters against [...]

Eagles / Dallas 3 – Revenge of the Birds
Does anyone know where I can get one of those machines like the ones in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind why is this movie title so long?”
I’ve been trying and trying to forget last weeks debacle…and also looking forward to getting an opportunity to use the word “debacle”…’cause it’s cool sounding.
Being an Eagles fan [...]

Gutless Colts Give Undefeated Season Away
The Indianapolis Colts won the first 14 games of the 2009 season. In the process of doing so they clinched homefield advantage throughout the playoffs and a first round bye. They were only 5 games away from football immortality. They also had a 23 game regular season winning streak (the longest ever in the history [...]

At Long Last, the Halladays are Here!
After a huge amount of speculation both before the 2009 trading deadline, and ever since the 2009 season ended, Roy Halladay is officially a member of the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies traded 3 prospects for him: minor league righthander Kyle Drabek, outfielder Michael Taylor and catcher Travis D’Arnaud. They subsequently signed him to a 3 [...]

All the Phillies want for Christmas is… Roy Halladay!
There’s only one thing one the Fightin’ Phils Christmas wish list, and it’s the return of a certain trophy that’s on loan to the Yankees currently. The only question is how do we get it back? It is our not so humble opinion here at Upon Official Review that the Phillies only need two things [...]

World Series, Part Deux
As last night’s final pitch from Brad Lidge settled into Shane Victorino’s glove, it was official. A year later and here we are, back in the Fall Classic. It isn’t quite the same as it was last year. Last year, we were trying to make ourselves dare to believe that we weren’t going to have [...]

UnbeLEEvable
Well, the Fightin Phils got their split in LA, and now they are back home looking to go on a 3 game winning streak at home to close things out (just like they did in the World Series last year). The good news is the Cliff Lee is the freaking man, and we got him [...]

NFL Week 6 Preview
Week 6…time to separate the Mitchell’s from the Maclin’s.
Eagles have the Raiders this week, which should have all the intensity of a walkthrough practice. I expect this game to be ready to wrapped up by about midway through the 3rd quarter. You’ll probably see some more Wildkitten offense along with Mike Vick towards the end [...]

NLCS Preview
Here we are, one year from the day that the Phillies eliminated the Dodgers in game 5 in Los Angeles. The same two teams are back at it once again, fighting for National League supremacy. Many experts are saying that the Dodgers are better equipped to handle the big stage this year, and that their [...]
