The Boston Celtics are back front-and-center these days, thanks to the off-season acquisitions of Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.

With all the recent talk about the Celtics finally being relevant again, it made me think: When was the last time they were relevant? Obviously they were a big deal with Larry Bird, but were they considered favorites anywhere between then and now?

First off, let's define relevant. I'm not talking about going to the finals when I say relevant, I'm simply saying that they are a contender and considered a threat. The Larry Bird led Celtics, much like the Red Auerbach coached squad before that, were considered a threat even on the decline.

1995 is the only year between Bird's days and now that the Celtics seemed like any sort of threat. Nonetheless, I would argue that they weren't in contention. Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker were doing all they could, but they weren't going to win the Championship.

Now, with Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce leading the way, they are destined for greatness. Will they win it all? We don't know just yet. We do know, however, that they have three of the biggest names in the business and are sure to create a buzz everywhere they go.

The Philadelphia Eagles went back into history on Sunday, using their yellow and powder blue throwback jerseys to commemorate their 75th anniversary.

These jerseys were originally worn in the franchise's inaugural season.

Before Sunday, the Frankford Yellowjackets donned the yellow and blue colors in the City of Brotherly Love, wearing them from 1924 until 1931, when they suspended operations. The Yellowjackets were able to capture the NFL Championship in 1926 wearing these colors, which are based on the colors of Philadelphia's city flag.

On Sunday, the Eagles built upon the success of the Yellowjackets and dominated the Detroit Lions by a score of 56-21.

Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb threw for four touchdowns and 381 yards. Brian Westbrook also helped in the offensive attack, running for 110 yards while also catching five passes for 111 receiving yards. In total, Westbrook added 3 TD's for a fantastic outing, especially considering he was listed as questionable due to a minor injury.
