Les Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News since 2002. Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey.

Eagles defensive coordinator Juan Castillo makes a point with Asante Samuel. Some fans still want to see Castillo gone.

Giants' D smothers Falcons - 01/09/2012
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - There was much debate about how real the Eagles' defensive improvement was the last month of the season, and whether it meant the Birds could have been a competitive playoff team.

Reid: Arrogant or protective? - 01/05/2012

Reid-ing between the whines - 01/04/2012
Les Bowen: If Jeffrey Lurie is to be believed, Andy Reid really does have to do a better job, just as Reid is constantly telling us after losses. But what has really changed from past years' failures?
