After four years of experimentation in the minor leagues, MLB will allow teams to challenge umpires’ ball-strike calls based on the results of an automated system. The challenges are limited in number, but presumably this will allow teams to overturn the most egregious errors by the plate umpire. The exact format has not been specified, […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are 6-2 after beating the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. Final score: 38 to 20. This was a much-needed outcome for a Birds team that failed to outgain their opponent in every game prior to this result. Really nice to win comfortably for once. And the Eagles did […]

The Eagles’ run game was back on full display Sunday against the Giants, and Saquon Barkley started the game hot with a 65-yard TD run.
