Monday: Les Bowen, Bob Cooney, Stan Hochman

Les Bowen: The bottom line after Eagles' loss to Cowboys - 2:22am: IF YOU'RE still looking for a good explanation for that fourth-down spot that turned Sunday night's game around, an explanation beyond the silly stuff like official blindness, bias or some sort of massive conspiracy involving Freemasonry and Tom Hanks, I got nothing for ya.
Twittered away - 2:18am: LATELY, MANY PROFESSIONAL athletes have been having a good ol' time tweeting on Twitter without much regard for the ramifications.
Phil Jasner: Iverson might be out of excuses, and teams - 2:18am: IT'S LIONEL HOLLINS' fault. It must be. Hollins is the coach of the Memphis Grizzlies, and he won't put Allen Iverson in the starting lineup.
Phillies shopping for third baseman - 2:18am: CHICAGO - When athletic performance and millions of dollars are involved, no personnel decision is as simple as it may seem. Talent evaluation is a big part of the equation, but it is also the part over which teams have the most control. Less predictable, yet equally important, is how the 29 other teams in the marketplace evaluate that talent, and what dollar value they place upon it, and what means they have to act upon that valuation.
Ankle is latest sore point for Eagles RB Westbrook - 2:18am: YESTERDAY'S alarming Brian Westbrook news came from a completely different direction. Nothing new on the concussion, Westbrook hasn't had a headache since Friday, Eagles coach Andy Reid said. Asked if Westbrook would take the field when practice resumes tomorrow, Reid said he expected so, having just spoken with Westbrook. Then he qualified that.
Sam Donnellon: Eagles always taking 'the next step' but going in circles - 2:18am: Nov. 9, 2009 - Eagles head coach Andy Reid blamed himself for Sunday's debilitating, 20-16 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys, saying, "It is my responsibility to make sure that we win those games.
Toews returns to help lead Blackhawks - 2:17am: Jonathan Toews and Troy Brouwer scored power-play goals in a 3:31 span early in the third period last night, leading the Chicago Blackhawks to a 4-1 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Kings.
Flyers goalie Emery won't place special meaning on meeting with old team Ottawa - 2:18am: Ray Emery has been nothing short of a choirboy since he officially arrived in town 132 days ago. By all accounts, Emery has been a good teammate. He is a perfect fit in the Flyers' tight-knit dressing room. Emery hasn't had any run-ins with the law, as he did in Ottawa. Most importantly, he has won hockey games.
McKie can only imagine what Iverson is feeling - 2:17am: Aaron McKie was a teammate of Allen Iverson's with the Sixers for 8 years, their best season in 2000-01 when the team reached the NBA Finals, losing in five games to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Nash sparks Suns' rally over Sixers - 2:17am: IF DONOVAN McNABB had the passing accuracy with a football that Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash has with a basketball, multiple Super Bowl trophies probably would be adorning the Eagles' NovaCare Complex.
Bill Conlin: All Feliz ever did for Phillies was show up for work every day - 2:17am: WHEN I'M KING of the world . . . The Phillies will give Pedro Feliz a little more respect than being tossed onto the market like a Cash-for-Clunkers auto . . .
