Barkley wore it for week 1.Now, I saw on facebook, without cited sources that he said he wore it week 1, but will not continue wearing it unless the whole team gets one because he is not worthy, it was a team accomplishment.Sounds like a Barkley thing to say but there are so many faked quotes on facebook these days...As soon as I heard the gold badge nonsense I thought, why isn't it that the previous years SB winners get a gold NFL badge for the next season? Individual players IS a dumb idea.
13 hours ago13 hr Most of the time, I agree with the "oh but why was he out there" line of thought with in-season with acquisitions.With Za'Darius Smith, it seems clear he wanted to skip training camp.
12 hours ago12 hr New definition for the Blog. "Acceptable Loss”; means when ESP is lost to another city and team or retires. Not applicable to the Birds.

Berman, McLane, McManus, Mosher, Olivia Reiner and EJ Smith all still wriIte sourced articles on the team. Jimmy Kempski has also significantly improved his journalism over the years. He has good insights into the team that aren't hyperbole. He makes insightful observations during practices. I think he, Sheil and Bo Wulf have a better understanding of the game and performance than the other more traditional journalists. There's just there's also a lot of pundits and quasi-journalists. The media has significantly changed from written to short tweets and podcasts. Access to athletes and athletes ability to push out stories has changed. On top of that statistics and film analysis has impacted the reporting. Fran Duffy and Shawn Syed both provide very good analysis of the games it's just not in a newspaper anymore.

We’re fortunate to have the group we do covering the team.

THe joy of those conversations is the Eagles may have missed out on that WR with Reagor, but the overall 53 roster has been significantly better than than the Vikes overall.Funny how life works eh?
9 hours ago9 hr 11 hours ago, HazletonEagle said:They are going to psych Sykes? Howie just trolling now.This is how Howie extends the PS, it means a few extra paychecks for guys on the edge, gets them some time practicing with the team, so they can step right back in when an opening appears (injuries, signings by other teams).I think some of the churn is deliberate.

I don't think they are alone in doing it but it's not something that every franchise effectively manages. Lurie probably doesn't get the credit he deserves to be willing to spend that money. It's definitely not money that a lot of other owners are willing to spend.

Mistakes happen, but its what we do after the mistake that's most important. Doesn't always work, but I don't want them being cautious in fear of mistakes

Semi related…last time the Turds opened theirs up didn’t a piece fall off and almost kill someone?
