The weather pretty much matches the mood of Philly sports fans today.

Where should we start? How about the Eagles and Andy Reid. Any time they want to start their draft would be nice.

OK, I exaggerate. I think.

Once again Andy Reid traded down out of the first round. Am I mistaken or was this team 8-8 last year, and that only because they won several meaningless games at the end of the season? You’d think the way Reid approaches the draft this squad was coming off another Super Bowl appearance.

Are you trying to tell me this team doesn’t have any pressing needs for this year? To be honest with you, I’m not real interested in next season as yet. Sure, it looks like the Eagles did pretty well in getting a boatload of picks from the Panthers for that No. 19 pick in the first round, but that doesn’t do a thing for me for this year.

Finally, in the second round, the Eagles picked up another defensive tackle from Notre Dame, and a wide receiver who looks like he might be able to answer some of their punt and kickoff return questions. Oh, and that blockbuster trade involving Lito Sheppard? Never happened. He’s still on the team and now the brass is talking about a rotation in the defensive backfield.

There’s really very little fans can do. Reid isn’t going anywhere. Except for this. This team better be good, and come out of the gates smoking. Reid’s philosophy is that with a healthy McNabb the Eagles will return to supremacy in the NFC East.

He better be right. His moves to always go down in the draft, and not select a player in the first round, tell fans this is a playoff team. I have my doubts.

Speaking of playoff teams, the Sixers played another game in their playoff matchup with the Pistons at the Wachovia Center last night.

I’d like to know what Flip Saunders told his team at halftime. After the Sixers dominated them in the first half, the Pistons “flipped” a switch in the locker room, came out and blew away the Sixers in the third quarter, coasting to an easy win. A 10-point Sixers lead turned into a 15-point deficit faster than you can say Andre Iquodala. The series is now tied 2-2.

One other thing I’d like to know. Now that the teams have played four games, any time Sixers star Iguodala wants to show up would be just dandy. Iguodala’s struggles continued last night, shooting 4 of 16 and scoring just 12 points.

Bottom line is this: The Sixers won’t win this series unless Iguodala starts playing to his potential.

Speaking of not showing up, Brett Myers continues to be a no-show so far this season for the Phillies. Myers put a few clouds on a sterling road trip for the Phils. He struggled again yesterday against the lowly Pirates.

He went 5 innings, gave up 4 runs on 8 hits. He’s now 2-2 on the season. Not good enough.

Myers is supposed to be one of two studs at the top of the Phils’ rotation. That’s why he was given the honor of opening day starter as he moved from his closer role last year back into the rotation.

The Phils need him to start pitching like one.

Anything else? Oh, the Flyers and Canadiens tee it up again tonight at the Wachovia Center.

Is this a great time of year or what?
