When is the update happening?

We haven't scheduled it yet. Before doing it I wanted to make sure there was a current backup (which is automatic on GoDaddy), and discovered that for some reason backups were 'inactive', so the backups that were SUPPOSED to happen daily, weren't. So I had to have GoDaddy fix that, which they did today. 

Now I'll wait for a couple of days to get some backups under our belts, and I want to give every one ample time to get situated with the upcoming login method (email address not username). 

So maybe this weekend or early next week. Or maybe I'll schedule it for draft day? Just kidding

Yup, thats what I think would be the appropriate response by siri and eagles 

I'm editing commercials out of games... Jason Kelce was in A LOT of commercials. I'm not even watching them and I'm already tired of them lol.

Jason Kelce is one of my all time favorites, but even I am getting tired of seeing him on TV all the time. Can’t imagine how non Eagles fans feel

Daniel Jeremiah’s updated top 50 today saw Mason Taylor at #32, climbed 5 spots since last top 50. 
 

I really think Mason Taylor could wind up being the pick at 32 depending on how the board falls. He met the Eagles at the combine fwiw

It's the increased frequency that annoys the hell out of me. They became so greedy that they'll throw in a commercial even split screen

Same here. An occasional commercial is fine. But SO many is 'over exposure' and gets to be grating. I even get them on YouTube when watching, but at least I can skip after 5 seconds lol.

I hit my Kelce fatigue limit when I saw he and Travis had their own cereal

My mom bought me that cereal. It’s actually pretty good, but to be fair my only experience eating it is when I’m stoned

I should probably give Jason three years before passing any judgement - but he seems to have two modes nowadays. One is the over the top doing stuff guy, and the other is the relatively boring football panelist guy. If he can middle that he might have something.

I don’t blame him at all. His worth and exposure is at an all time high. Get all the money you can while you can. I just blame all the marketers who feel the need to dip into his well all the time.

I dunno.  I could go for a bit more Kelce.

Yup.  Saquon and Dillon to Hurts right and left and all three surge forward when th ball is snapped.

I’ve listened to a lot of takes of what Travis Hunter could or should do in the NFL, and I’ve had difficulty attaching myself to any of them. Play only WR, Play only CB, Both full time, full time CB with WR packages, or full time WR and dime CB. I just can’t really decide which could be the best choice, maybe it’s because they’re all viable.

But today it clicked for me: Travis’ true value is he is the "assured” most pro ready player in draft history, because he hedges the bet. Maybe he isn’t a top-5-pick impact at WR day one, or maybe he isn’t a top-5-pick impact at CB day one, but the odds are extraordinarily low that he’s neither. 
 

Play him at what he proves best at. And if he is genuinely dominant at both, figure out a way to make it work. If I’m a team that has a QB and both my lines are pretty good, I would trade the farm and hedge my bet for a player like this (if I were drafting 5-20, definitely not someone in the Eagles’ position). This is non-line value that doesn’t come around every draft; It’s not like the guy is a combo TE/PK. If he’s a hit (all players are risks on some level), then he’s worth more than whatever you could have gotten at 12 this year AND at 12 next year.

How to stop the rush push - force a 3rd/4th and 2.5 lol. 

How not to stop it - put your DT sideways with the LoS

One of the reasons Deion went to the cowboys was because they told him he could play offense, and why not when you have a guy with his playmaking ability with the ball in his hands why not draw up some plays for him on O to get the ball in his hands 

I dont think hunter is the talent deion was at DB but he should be a more polished WR than deion was 

Does Hunter return kicks/ punts as well?

It would be fun to have them line up two offensive linemen behind Hurts in the tush push formation and smash them into defenders trying to go over the top.

I saw what Schefter said, but I think he’s overstating where things stand.

I don’t think it’s a gimme that Goodell will be able to whip 8 more votes.

In fact, I don’t expect it to happen.

Didn’t the league doctor say it’s a matter of time before a catastrophic injury happens (without evidence)?

What sort of liability does the league now have if it doesn’t ban it - as they can’t claim ignorance moving forward?

This is likely a bluff but it makes it a concrete money argument rather than more abstract fairness issue.
