For years, Doug Pederson had to miss most of his son's games. Now he's 'being a dad' full-time watching him play in the UFL.

PHILADELPHIA - Doug Pederson hasn't coached an NFL game since January. He wasn't at the owners meetings in March, or the draft in April. He wasn't running OTAs in May or minicamp this week. Instead, the 57-year-old former Eagles coach has spent most of that time supporting his son, Josh, in the United Football League, a spring league that was borne out of a 2023 merger between the USFL and the XFL. Josh, 27, signed with the Houston Roughnecks as a tight end in February.

In 1954, a tiny town handed Wilt Chamberlain one of his three high school losses. This signed syllabus shows he never forgot it.

3 weeks ago | inquirer.com | Alex Coffey

Ed Uberti was walking through a Philadelphia hotel lobby in November 1991 when he saw a familiar face. Wilt Chamberlain was hard to miss. At 7-foot-1, the former 76er towered over everyone else, with enormous hands, a 7-8 wingspan, and the same distinctive mustache he’d had since high school. Chamberlain was promoting his autobiography, A View From Above, on a local radio station. During commercial breaks, fans waited in line for autographs, carrying photos, magazine covers, and basketballs.
This baby was born after the Birds’ Super Bowl win. Her family gave her a name fit for an Eagles fan: Sirianni

1 month ago | inquirer.com | Alex Coffey

Last July, when Jazmine Jackson learned she was pregnant, she and her older sister, Tyquanique, came up with a joke. They were talking about baby names, and Tyquanique said that if she ever had another child, she’d name it Sirianni, after Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni. Jazmine decided to claim the name for her unborn daughter. “No, I’m going to call her Sirianni,” she told her sister. Jazmine had recently become an Eagles fan.
