NFL: Chip Kelly aware of teams record

DETROIT -- The Philadelphia Eagles are on alert after their third consecutive loss, a 45-14 embarrassment at the hands of the Detroit Lions.

"It takes a collective effort to get your ass beat like this," Eagles center Jason Kelce said. "It really does. At this point, we're 4-7. We're going to find out what this locker room is made of.

"We're going to find out the guys who are all in and with each other, and we're going to find out who are the cowards. We're going to find out who the guys are that give anonymous (quotes), who the guys are who talk behind people's back. We're going to find out who the guys are who throw people under the bus."

In four days, the Eagles got outscored 90-31 by the Miami Dolphins and the Lions. They gave up 951 total yards. They allowed Jameis Winston and Matthew Stafford to throw 10 touchdown passes.

After games like that, it's fair to wonder if the players are still responding to the coaching staff.

"I'm a coach, not a player," Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. "It starts with me. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody and I don't think anybody points fingers at anybody (else). ... I think once you start pointing fingers and saying you blame it on somebody else, then you've lost what you have to.

Eagles left tackle Jason Peters missed the entire 2012 season with a torn Achilles tendon. He was on injured reserve as Andy Reid's team went 4-12, resulting in the coach's dismissal.

"It made me feel bad that he lost his job and I couldn't fight for him," Peters said. "I'm going to do everything I can to be out there and fight for the organization."

Kelly said that coordinator Bill Davis will remain in charge of the defense. He said he still has confidence in the roster he assembled in a tumultuous offseason of change.

"I have confidence in those players," Kelly said. "I've seen them play before. I have a lot of confidence in those guys. I think we have some really good guys. ... I told those guys in the locker room that I have confidence in 

NBA: Jahlil Okafor involved in street fight

Jahlil Okafor, Rookie for the Philadelphia Sixers, was involved in a street brawl in Boston, MA. 

TMZ released a video showing Okafar verbally disagreeing with someone, moments later a fight broke out. Apparently someone said "The 76ers suck and you guys are all losers, you'll never win a game."

The Sixers lost 84-80 to the Boston Celtics earlier Wednesday evening. Okafor had 19 points and 9 rebounds in the lost. The Sixers have lost 26 straight games dating back to last season and are the first team in NBA history to start 0-16 in consecutive seasons.

Boxing: Alvarez new middleweight champ

It looks like there is a new champion in town. Canelo Alvarez defeated Miguel Cotto, stripping him of the title middleweight champion.

Not only was Cotto stripped of his WBC belt, he was also stripped of the lineal world championship. Apparently there was a dispute over the sanctioning fee. Alvarez agreed to pay $300k, where as Cotto offered $125k.

Cotto was upset by the decision, so he opted out of the post fight interview and news conference. 

Jayz of Roc Nation Sports gave Cotto some words of encouragement and advised the ex champ that he had a great fight despite his lost.

NBA: Brandon Jennings participates in drills

The Detroit Pistons' Brandon Jennings took part in full-court practice Wednesday for the first time since rupturing his left Achilles tendon in January.

TheScore.com

Jennings ran 10-minute, 4-on-4 drills and remains on track for a December return to game action, coach Stan Van Gundy told reporters. The timetable for the 26-year-old has more or less held firm to estimates, as he's been building back strength in his leg.

With the one-time lead guard on the shelf, Reggie Jackson has ensconced himself as the starting point, averaging 20.6 points and 5.6 assists this season. The pair have yet to play together as Jackson was acquired after Jennings went down last season.

UFC: Poor Rhonda

ICelebrities makes it clear as day how they feel about Rhonda Rousey losing her undefeated record in UFC fighting. Apparently everyone feels that Rhonda is not a nice person and she's too cocky. In my humble opinion, most of the greats are cocky. That's what is exciting about the fight. Take a look at what some celebrities had to say:

NFL: Julian Edelman to have foot surgery but might return this season

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman will undergo surgery for a broken bone in his left foot, sources tell ESPN. There is hope Edelman will return this season.

Edelman left Sunday's 27-26 win over the New York Giants on the final play of the first quarter with a left foot injury. He did not return.

Patriots Losing Reception

The Patriots will have to account for a lot of lost offense as Julian Edelman is third in the league in receptions over the last three seasons.

	Rec Since '13
Antonio Brown	318
Demaryius Thomas	271
Julian Edelman	258
-- ESPN Stats & Information

He had helped the Patriots convert a first down with a 12-yard catch-and-run play on third-and-4 and came up limping at the end of the play as he was tackled by linebacker Jasper Brinkley.
Edelman slammed his helmet to the ground in frustration. He sat on the bench and took off his left shoe, and members of the medical and athletic training staff examined his foot.
After a short while, Edelman laced up his shoe and walked to the locker room under his own power for further evaluation.

Edelman entered the game as the team's leading receiver, with 57 receptions for 639 yards and seven touchdowns. In a further reflection of his value to the team and how he plays in every package, he entered Sunday having played 87.7 percent of the team's offensive snaps. His five touchdowns out of the slot were tied for the most in the NFL entering Week 10.
According to ESPN Stats & Information, Edelman, since he became a fulltime starter in 2013, had been targeted 365 times by Tom Brady -- almost 100 targets more than Rob Gronkowski, who is second over that span with 270.

In Edelman's absence, No. 3 receiver Danny Amendola saw an immediate increase in playing time in two-receiver packages and finished with 10 receptions for 79 yards. No. 4 receiver Aaron Dobson also bumped one spot up the depth chart.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Patriots, without Edelman and Dion Lewis, have lost two players who accounted for nearly 40 percent of the their receptions this year.
Lewis was lost for the season last week after suffering a torn ACL.

EA cover: Ronda Rousey

Per Kotaku.com

They call it the Madden Curse. Leading sports video game publisher EA puts an NFL star on the cover of its annual football franchise and then that star gets hurt or suffers some other bad fate. On Friday, EA announced Ronda Rousey as its cover athlete for its second UFC game. Whoops.

The previously undefeated and seemingly unbeatable Rousey was knocked out on Sunday in Melbourne by Holly Holm in a huge upset that few saw coming. 

Rousey’s defeat won’t stop her from being a big star and a potentially viable cover athlete for EA. It’ll certainly help if she wins her next fight, but her planned presence on the video game cover looks awkward at the moment. The game launches this coming spring. Rousey, for what it’s worth, is also a lifelong gamer.

EA has had a rough run with cover athletes of late. It had to remove Patrick Kane, one of its two cover athletes for NHL 15, after the hockey star was accused of rape, a charge that has since fallen apart.

Rousey’s defeat has echoes of another time a dominant combat athlete went halfway around the world to get annihilated by an alleged no-hoper, Mike Tyson getting thrashed by Buster Douglas in 1990. Tyson had no video game cover in the works at that moment, but he was swiftly pulled from a then-WWF Main Event special running a couple of weeks later. Douglas took his place.
