Eddie Jordan's job reportedly is on the line with Comcast-Spectacor supposedly already having decided to fire him in the first year of his 4-year contract to coach the 76ers. >> read more or comment • Stephen A. Smith: Don't overlook Luukko's liability for 76ers The amazing thing about the 76ers these days is not that they are pathetic embarrassing and downright laughable. It's that as the losses mount while faith in them plummets by the second the players don't appear to have a problem with the situation at all. >> read more or comment • John Smallwood: If plan is to fire Jordan at season's end Sixers should just do it now I TAKE PETER LUUKKO at his word. Yesterday the president and chief operating officer of Comcast-Spectacor denied print and broadcast reports saying the company had already made the decision to fire 76ers coach Eddie Jordan at the end of the season. >> read more or comment • Wright looks past recent 'Nova slump NEW YORK - Villanova finished last season's Big East schedule with a 13-5 record and went on a postseason run that got the Wildcats to the Final Four. >> read more or comment • Marquette earns date with 'Nova NEW YORK - Marquette seems to be getting the hang of winning close games. The Golden Eagles won for the sixth time in their last seven games decided by three points or fewer and improved to 7-5 in such games in the conference this season by defeating St. John's 57-55 yesterday in the second round of the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden. >> read more or comment • Rosen named to all-Ivy League first team As expected Penn sophomore point guard Zack Rosen was named to the all-Ivy League first team yesterday.

Reynolds likes that plan only because it would mean the Wildcats were advancing in the postseason not because he could reach a special milestone. >> read more or comment NFL - Philadelphia Eagles News:• Eagles sign free-agent defensive back Marlin Jackson to 2-year contract (The Canadian Press) PHILADELPHIA - Marlin Jackson's surgically repaired knees didn't scare off the Philadelphia Eagles. >> read more or comment • Titans start revamping linebacking corps agree to 3-year deal with Witherspoon (The Canadian Press) • Eagles sign free-agent DB Marlin Jackson (AP) Marlin Jackson's surgically repaired knees didn't scare off the Philadelphia Eagles. Still looking to replace Brian Dawkins the Eagles are taking a chance on Jackson. They signed the free agent defensive back to a two-year contract on Wednesday. A 2005 first-round draft pick by the Indianapolis Colts Jackson is coming off a pair of season-ending knee injuries. >> read more or comment • Eagles Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) The Eagles decided to pay the $1.5 million roster bonus to quarterback Mike Vick on Monday as he was not traded or released by the 4 p.m. EST deadline. Vick believes he can be a starting quarterback again after not having been one since 2006. Obviously the question is whether other NFL teams believe he can and whether he is worth the financial draft-pick and time investment a team would need to make that decision. The financial part goes beyond the $3.75 million base salary in Vick's contract for 2010. Once that roster bonus is paid $1 million of his salary becomes guaranteed. In addition there are $2.75 million in incentives that become very reachable if Vick is a team's starting quarterback. • Report: No one wants Vick but Seahawks want McNabb or Kolb (Yahoo!

That doesn't necessarily guarantee he'll return to the Eagles for another season. Vick was signed as a free agent with Philadelphia before the 2009 season and played sparingly as the backup to Donovan McNabb. >> read more or comment Warning: strstr() [function.strstr]: Empty delimiter in /home/phillys2/public_html/phila24.php on line 126 PhiladelphiaEagles.com Top Stories:NHL - Philadelphia Flyers News:• Flyers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) Six week ago Flyers defenseman Lukas Krajicek was a man without a future. Frustrated by a demotion to the AHL Norfolk Admirals and angered by the Tampa Bay Lightning's lack of communication he voluntarily walked away from hockey. After playing 15 games for the Admirals he left the team while it was in Hartford.In hindsight it was a risk worth taking. "I thought I'd play a lot (in Tampa) and they didn't play me right from the start" Krajicek said. "Once I started playing again they threw me on waivers out of nowhere. The GM (Brian Lawton) told me he wasn't going to send me down and two days later he sent me down. They didn't let me or my agent know." A former first-round pick of the Florida Panthers (24th overall in 2001) Krajicek recognized that his $1.475... • • NHL GMs propose rule change on hits to head (AP) • Calder rookie race down to goalies Myers and Duchene (Yahoo!
