Philadelphia sports fans have a lot of reasons to be happy today as the Eagles beat up on the Jaguars and the Phillies are now a single win away from wrapping up the NL East Throw in the Sixers getting ready to open their preseason, and the Union enjoying their first blowout and there isn’t too much to complain about right now.
Here’s today’s Talk of the town.
R.I.P Kevin Kolb — philly.com
tarting quarterback Kevin Kolb officially succumbed to his fate in Jacksonville, Fla., on Sunday as Vick led the Eagles to a convincing 28-3 victory over the Jaguars. He died of embarrassment after being asked to warm up during garbage time in the fourth quarter.

Vick carries Eagles to 28-3 rout of Jaguars — cnsphilly.com

“Normally lethal with his legs, Vick was prolific from the pocket Sunday afternoon at EverBank Field. He recorded touchdown passes of 61 yards (DeSean Jackson), 16 yards (Jeremy Maclin) and 45 yards (Maclin) as the Eagles (2-1) obliterated the Jaguars, 28-3, and moved into first place in the NFC East. Never before in his nine-year career had Vick thrown two touchdowns of over 40 yards in the same game.”
An Eagles over the skins could hinder Redskins for years — bleedinggreennation.com
“Media attention this week will be squarely on Andy Reid and his decision to trade Donovan McNabb within the division.  However, the reality after three weeks of the 2010 season is that this game means monumentally more to the Redskins’ franchise than it does to the Eagles”
Constructing the Phillies 2010 playoff roster —thegoodphight.com
“I think it’s safe to assume the Phillies will be seeing a healthy dose of October this year. With an eclectic mix of youth and inconsistency in the lower rungs of the bullpen, it’s going to be interesting to see who Chuck and the boys decide to keep around for playoff baseball. The bench has been much better at times this season, thanks to the rebirth of Wilson Valdez as an actual baseball player, but still has plenty of holes.”
76ers Suddenly have reason for optimism — usatoday.com
“Elton Brand looked lean at about 255 pounds. Andre Iguodala has a gold medal from the world championships, a rare sign of success for a player who’s spent his entire career with the Philadelphia 76ers. That’s only part of the overhaul for the stagnant franchise.”
Union demolish Chivas USA — phillyuniontalkcom
“As if Chivas needed yet another reason to feel bad about themselves, the Union destroyed any remaining scraps of dignity that the fanless, homeless orphan of MLS may have had- in our first official ass-kicking.”
