So were the Bucs, but it was the HC's. Part of the reason they tabled the vote when coaches were around. They must not have much pull with ownership.

That's a shame but also makes me feel better than Ryans didn't flip on us

This was so awesome to see a fan get to say this stuff to PG's face. Most of it was about embiid, but the stuff about the team in general and how the fans feel. Love it.

Rich McKay is a true has been that has long overstayed his relevance and should be banned.

Texans were public about saying you shouldn't ban a play just because other teams can't copy it successfully. Then they vote to ban

Owner is different from the coaches. Who voted and who spoke publicly?

Sources: Tempers flare in tense tush push debate

Debate over the tush push led to a heated exchange between NFL owners and league executives, sources told ESPN.

Debate over the tush push led to a heated exchange between NFL owners and league executives Wednesday morning during the league meeting in Eagan, Minnesota, multiple sources with firsthand knowledge told ESPN.

The discussion occurred during what is called a "general session," which is attended by owners as well as team and league executives.

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie made an impassioned speech in defense of the play. The Eagles and the NFL declined comment, but sources close to Lurie told ESPN that he had seen reports from earlier in the day that tush push was going to be banned, and so he figured the odds of the play's survival were long.

"He pulled out all the stops," one source close to Lurie told ESPN. "He knew he needed to throw a Hail Mary."

Toward the end of a speech that lasted close to an hour, Lurie made an off-the-cuff analogy. He told the room that regardless of whether the play was banned, it was a "win-win" for the Eagles, adding that it was "like a wet dream for a teenage boy" to create a play that was so successful that the only way for it to be stopped was for it to be banned.

Lurie spoke for several more minutes, adding that whoever voted to ban the play would be taking liability for putting quarterbacks at risk. He criticized NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent for advocating the ban, adding that he had spoken to NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills at length about the play.

After Lurie finished speaking, Vincent chastised the Eagles owner for the "wet dream" comment, specifically for saying it in front of women in the meeting.

Eagles assistant general manager John Ferrari and former Eagles star center Jason Kelce, currently an ESPN analyst, addressed the room next. Kelce said that he would return to the NFL if he could run 60 tush pushes a game.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones asked a few questions, while Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula -- a critic of the tush push -- said his team was good at the play and still supported banning it.

An hour had passed when San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York asked Lurie "how much more s---" he needed to say.

There were a few scattered laughs, but the room was quiet and tense. Goodell then adjourned to the "privileged session," which is attended by owners and top league executives. The ban failed, by a vote of 22-10, falling two votes shy of the 24 needed to ban the play.

"That is a disgusting by Jeffrey Lurie. And it's unfortunate that we had that in our owner's meeting live." - Troy Vincent.

One thing is for sure though, Goodell is going to have the officials flagging the Eagles like crazy on tush push attempts this year.

Who knew Troy Vincent went full btch mode too?

They said he sounded like a desperate man down to his last dollar.

They are clutching their pearls about a wet dream comment?

The league has womanizers, rapists, abusers, owners that get caught with hookers and illegal drugs and they're worried about that? Nah, they're just pissed that the ban didn't pass and that the Eagles brought evidence and data, and that Kelce killed their reaching narrative about player safety.

Kyle Brandt was right, regardless of the vote either way the Eagles have motivation with a chip on their shoulder. They used to feed on underdog mentality, now they'll feed off of us vs the world of haters mentality.
