Hurka Does Sports: Eagles Breakdown: Chargers 33, Eagles 30

It took me a few days to get over this game, and even though the Eagles looked good doing a few things against San Diego on Sunday, there were certainly some issues out there as well.  It's clear that Chip Kelly's offense isn't perfect yet, and the defense...well, that's not that good right now.  Let's dive in and see how things went.

Hurka Does Sports: Eagles Breakdown: Eagles 33, Redskins 27

A new NFL season is here, and the first Eagles game of the season has come and gone.  Chip Kelly made his initial impression on the NFL last night with a 33-27 win over the defending NFC East champion Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football.  While the Eagles did get the win, there is still plenty of room for improvement, as well as plenty to be happy about.  Let's break it down.

Hurka Does MMA: UFC 1: The Beginning

So here's the deal.  The Phillies are simply going through the motions until their season is over, the Eagles are three weeks away from having games count, and the Sixers and Flyers are still in the offseason.  There's only so many lists that I can count down, and I really don't want to start another one, so I'm going to move in another direction for now.  For those of you that don't know, I'm also a huge MMA fan, specifically the UFC.  I also either physically have or have on my hard drive almost every UFC event ever.  While I doubt I'm going to get through them all, there's no harm in trying, right?

So, I'm going to start from the beginning, and work my way as close as I can to present day.  I'm not saying how long it's going to take me to get there, but let's get this party started.  To do so, we're going to take a trip 20 years into the past.  Bill Clinton had just entered the Oval Office, Jurassic Park was in theaters and the Phillies were on their way to their first National League pennant in 10 years.  In the world of mixed martial arts, things were just getting started.  In November of 1993 in Denver, Colorado, an organization held a tournament to see who the best fighter on the planet was, and the UFC was born.  Let's look back, shall we?
