I guess they didn't like the flight to Brazil 

From Chris McPhearson in reply to my email asking him about whether Rodgers is a RFA or UFA … "UFA … the only non-UFA is Covey”

It has seemed like the Novacare facility needs to be replaced with a full field and upgraded in general

Okay. He's coming back.👌🏻

Yes... and no.  I got to spend a summer working in the School District of Philadelphia Central Administration building.  They throw money away left and right in the most ridiculous ways imaginable.

For example:  Just before I got there they had just bought every single secretary in the district a brand new Apple computer.  Two months later, they hired a new Financial Director over seeing the entire district's fiscal situation.  His first move?   Buy every secretary in the school district a brand new PC computer, because the accounting software he wanted them all to use for their budgeting items was PC only and wouldn't run on Macs.  Things like that were commonplace.  And that's not related to anything regarding the teachers' union, and not exactly what I would call corruption, just incompetence or ridiculousness that you literally couldn't make up.

Whether or not it would be corruption would depends on whether or not the new finance director got a kickback on either the new accounting package or the new PCs. That would probably not be not all that easy to determine. "I want to use this accounting package because it will require the purchase of new PCs of which I get a piece of the action. There are software packages available that would work on Macs but I don't get a piece of that action, or at least not as big a piece". Not saying that happened, but it's also not unheard of.

I don't disagree.  But, it could just be a case of someone being stuck in their ways and wanting the software they are familiar with at all costs.   That's not corruption, that's just a certain level of incompetence and/or stubbornness.

Could be that as well. "Who cares, it's not my money".

2 Super Bowls in 7 years, nearly top of the league every year in cash spend, 8 soon to be 9 offensive starters on lucrative 2nd+ contracts (defense mostly on league-set rookie contracts). These guys have no idea what mediocre ownership looks like.

(Also the NFLPA data is almost definitely flawed)

It has and it's weird because it seems like such an easy fix. There are only 3 teams that don't offer it and the Eagles are one of them for some reason. 

Add day care on game days.

Let the big men, vets and any coach over 50 sit in first class or get a jet lol.

As the staff to choose 11 1130 or 130 for lunches and leave 12 to 1 for the players and coaches.

Start plans on an extension to Novacare.

"A" rating incoming next year.

Now, are we keeping Baun and Becton or do I have to handle that, too? 🤣

 

 

Have a strong feeling Captain Jack will be in serious consideration for the Eagles to add to the exciting whites.  He was really good towards the end of the year/in playoffs.

I can't fault them.  Fletcher Cox did retire.

Contrary to Myles Garrett, Matt Stafford did have a no-trade clause in DET and likely still has one with the Rams.  Hard to see any way on Earth that Stafford signs off on a deal to finish his career with the Giants 

Catching up so this may have been addressed, but according to this he doesn't have a no trade clause.

anyone seen EaglesVA around ever since the QB he hates, the HC he hates, and the GM he hates won the SB?

I'm worried he walked off the edge of the earth

He may retire before going to the gints.  🤣

This makes much more sense for a GM and HC on the hot seat looking at a weak QB draft class.

Those bus trips to New Jersey and Baltimore and Washington definitely are much greater wear and tear on the players than plane trips are.

I don't see any incentive in being honest with this polling.

My nominee for addition to the 'Exciting Whites'...

 

It would be disrespectful to send Stafford to Giants

One problem - a talented rookie may be able to rush effectively behind this OL, but can he be trusted in blitz pickup?

Miss a couple blocks and end the season (Hurts injured).

I think there are several who can block, yes.

Why are we so bad

There's a lot of little things but I would keep in mind that the survey aggregates scores from 1-10 from players on opinion questions like:

• 73% of players feel they have enough room in their individual lockers, a ranking of 22 out of 32.
• 57% of players feel the locker room size is adequate, ranking the Eagles 28 out of 32 teams. 

This results in a D+ grade in this category for the Eagles.  

Or this:

 

• 43% of the Eagles players believe they have a comfortable amount of personal space on team flights, ranking them 30 out of 32.
• The players feel that their team’s travel schedule is not very efficient, a rank of 26 out of 32 teams.

Players feel they should get first class seats on team flights instead of the coaching staff.

They had a F in this category.  

 

Rams trade Stafford and replace him with what?

The rumor is Aaron Rodgers.

 

$60M! You know you want to!
