Andy Reid: “LeSean is one of the most electrifying running backs in the National Football League. He can do it all – run, catch, block and score touchdowns from anywhere on the field. He’s worked extremely hard to turn himself into a Pro Bowl running back and he is well deserving of this contract extension. I give a lot of credit to Howie Roseman and Drew Rosenhaus for hammering out this deal

Andy Reid about the Eagles OffSeason: “We are excited to continue this offseason of taking care of our own players”

LeSean McCoy on  the New contract: It’s the right timing for this deal. Its hard during the season to do a deal, you want focus all on football.

LeSean McCoy-”The main goal is to win a championshp. That is the main goal to bring a Super Bowl to the city of Philadelphia.”

LeSean McCoy Agent Drew Rosenhaus: “This deal got done because Andy Reid wanted LeSean McCoy to remain an Eagle.”

Michael Vick on Twitter about LeSean McCoy New Deal: ” @MikeVick Congrats lil bro @cutonDimes25 We are in this together. Let’s go to work.”

Eagles GM Howie Roseman: “We sat down for our offseason plan and wanted to be aggressive about keeping our own. Really excited he’ll be here long time.”

That perception was challenged when the eighth-seeded 76ers split two 1-point games with the Celtics and entered Wednesday’s Game 3 with a chance to continue as the surprise of the postseason.

Jrue Holiday scored 18 points, Andre Iguodala had 13 and the Sixers nearly let another double-digit lead go to waste before pulling away in the final minute.

Kevin Garnett, who had 29 points in Boston’s Game 1 win Saturday, was called for a moving screen with 10 seconds left and the Celtics trailing by three.

The offensive foul, which cleared Paul Pierce for a pass up top, allowed the Sixers to take a five-point lead on free throws with just 8.5 seconds left.

Garnett hit a meaningless 3 at the buzzer for the one-point final margin as the Sixers won a playoff game in Boston for the first time since Game 7 of Eastern Conference Finals in 1982.

Sixers win in Boston, even series

He expected better than seven innings in Monday’s 5-1 victory over Houston, and that says quite a bit about how well the Phillies’ fifth starter has thrown. Even as the bullpen door opened, a late lead held.

Polanco scored twice before his milestone swing thanks to two Freddy Galvis hits. The second provided a cushion in the sixth inning, when Houston challenged the light-hitting rookie.

Hamels was stellar on the mound in his return from a five-game suspension, extending his winning streak to five games with seven innings of one-run ball Sunday to help Philadelphia beat another last place team, the San Diego Padres, 3-2.

The Phillies have now won six straight games in which Hamels has started.

“If Chooch keeps hitting the way he is and catching the way he is, I think he stands a good chance of the all-star game,” Manuel said.

Good observation.

In a season sapped by a struggling offense, Ruiz has been one of the bright spots and he showed why once again. Ruiz went 3 for 3 with a home run and three RBIs as the Phillies defeated the Padres, 7-3, at Citizens Bank Park.

And so, the Sixers move on, emerging victorious from the 79-78 slog. A No. 8 seed beats a No. 1 seed for the second year in a row.

Watch the video below:

Left unspoken by the team was the fact that the latest crowd was the smallest since July 7, 2009, the date that the streak began. Also left unspoken was this: Customer satisfaction is rapidly declining.

It dwindled again on this night when the Phillies squandered a four-run lead and wasted another solid effort by a starting pitcher in a 7-4 loss to the New York Mets.

The Phillies, with their fourth loss in five games against the Mets, slipped to three games below .500 at 14-17, matching their low-water mark in this early season of mounting frustration.

The puck landed on Ilya Bryzgalov‘s stick and by the time he could look up, David Clarkson was bearing down hot and heavy. With panic in his eyes, Bryzgalov tried to saucer the puck out of harm’s way.

It was a Bryzaster.

Ultimately, Clarkson’s series-clinching gift – after Bryzgalov’s pass deflected off his outstretched stick and into the net – will be the lasting image of the end of the Flyers’ spring dreams.

But it certainly wasn’t the reason the Flyers, incapable of adjusting after three consecutive and eerily similar losses, the Devils dealt them the death blow with a 3-1 final score in Game 5.

The Flyers will return to their practice facility on Thursday to gather their belongings and conduct exit meetings. They have all summer to realize what could have been.
