At Least 'Invincible' Was Good

Meanwhile, On the Field, All of Philadelphia Continues to Underwhelm

MOST TROUBLING about the Eagles' woes are what they mean for Philadelphia's championship possibilities in the foreseeable future. If any of the other major teams seemed poised for a parade down Broad Street, the Birds' precipitous drop would be far more palatable. But the Eagles have spent the better part of 10 years representing our best hope, and their shocking and sudden implosion leaves no one to pick up the slack. The Flyers have revealed themselves to be a drifting mess of a franchise, the 76ers are about to start their umpteenth unpromising campaign, and the Phillies have done nothing to warrant any kind of optimism. So, great -- we're left to root for the Kixx. Insert your own "kid-tested, mother-approved" joke here.
