The Pope came and went. The Eagles got a win. Jonathan Papelbon almost murdered Bryce Harper. What a weekend.

The roundup:

— Full Bird Droppings coming soon —

Chip Kelly gave the Pope 100% credit for helping the Eagles, but I don’t know if Francis put a curse on Brandon Marshall.

I think someone in CSN’s graphics department got a little confused.

Brandon Marshall said he made the worst play in NFL history, so at least he gets it.

But then again, maybe he was just daydreaming.

After the game, Andrew Gardner was wearing a boot, and Jason Peters said he was fine even though someone rolled on his leg. But Chip really screwed up by not keeping someone like Todd Herremans, especially since the offensive line is getting thinner. Related: Herremans got benched.

After the win, Jeffrey Lurie threw his full support behind Chip Kelly. I wonder if he had some different words planned if they lost.

Kiko Alonso is reportedly visiting Dr. James Andrews, the world’s only doctor, for a second opinion on whether surgery will be necessary on his injured knee.

Yes the Eagles won, and yes it was huge, but it’s not like they swept the floor with the Jets either. Sam Bradford is still struggling, and that’s not ideal.

Jets fans may have a had a bad day, but Giants fans were living it up on Thursday night.

The Phillies declined Cliff Lee’s 2016 option, essentially ending his career.

This is how it’s done:

The once and future L.A. Rams set their own field on fire, but at least it looked cool.

The Pope wasn’t able to bless Bradford’s knee, but maybe he got to Embiid’s foot:

Wouldn’t be a big even in Philly unless someone went somewhere they weren’t supposed to and then got tased.

Jahlil Okafor, in 2nd grade, still had giant hands.

In former Sixers news, Luc Mbah a Moute signed with the Clippers and MCW got himself a big house.
