Beer. Screens. Violence. It’s a Philly Sports Weekend

Philadelphia sports fans are eating this weekend. The Eagles are heating up and out for blood in a revenge matchup vs. the Giants at the Linc, the Sixers suddenly look dangerous after a wild season opener featuring VJ Edgecombe’s electric debut and Tyrese Maxey’s flamethrower performance, the Flyers are grinding their way through a tough early slate, and the Union kick off their playoff run with Subaru Park ready to explode.

Forget pumpkin patches and fall candles—this is a beer-in-hand, couch-to-stadium-to-bar kind of weekend in Philly. Let it rip.

LATEST ON THE BIRDS

The Eagles’ run game is such a disaster that Jeffrey Lurie is now personally investigating it like a billion-dollar CSI case. On Thursday, the Eagles owner was spotted hovering over offensive line drills at practice—arms crossed, laser-focused, and clearly fed up—as if he decided the only way to fix 3rd-and-1 was to show up himself.

After nearly an hour of quiet but intense sideline observation and a long post-practice huddle with Nick Sirianni and Jeff Stoutland, the message was obvious: the run game will be fixed, or changes are coming. When the owner steps out of the suite and into the trenches, things just got real.
