September 17Sep 17 Having the Ravens ranked ahead of the Bills and the Lions ahead of the Packers is an odd choice given the results of their week one games.

And then I will be super exhausted and ready for bed. At least this weekend the dbacks series have better start times for 2 of the games. Got 940 pm est on Friday but then 810 pm est and 410 pm est so can tune in after the eagles game is over.Also something about Phillies at dodger stadium with unexpected unsung heroes coming up big. Matt stairs, Weston Wilson, Marchan. Heck marsh had been hitting .140 vs. LHP since July 1 (.181 for the year) and hit a 3 run HR off a LHP last night.

But they are likely favorites in every game the rest of the regular season if Josh Allen stays healthy. They got a really fortunate schedule where the toughest games they play are all at home. Toughest road games are at Atlanta, at New England, at Houston and at Pittsburgh. Frankly none of those teams are all that great.

September 17Sep 17 The Eagles are the full on villain of the NFL because we are multiple champions, we have a play they can’t stop and hate, and we are threatening to repeat as champs again.I used to pray for times like this…

When you are getting up at 5:30... anything after 9 is pushing it. I might start the Saturday night game... but unlikely. I'll be leaving a wedding on Friday night about 45 minutes before the Phillies game starts... not to catch the Phils, but because I can't hang. . There's an 'after party' for this wedding that starts at 10! I can't even finish out the full reception! Reception is 6-10, After party is 10-2. It's a wedding down the shore, on Irish weekend.

They're so stupid"Aesthetically pleasing" is the benchmark now? Ok. Then the NFL needs to explain what is so 'aesthetically pleasing' about the new stupid kick off rules? For that matter, an onside kick isn't all that 'aesthetically pleasing' to my eye either. It should be banned too.They are coming up with so many subjective excuses for what they don't like about it. I've personally, not been a big fan of the Tush Push in some situations and thought that the team was giving up more potential big plays in certain situations by running it somewhere other than the goal line... or gotta have it situations like 4th down. BUT... none of these subjective reasons make sense. And none of their objective reasons are actually true. They are throwing an 8 year old tantrum.
September 17Sep 17 I was running errands last night and that dumb "Let's Go" broadcast was on. Normally I change the station immediately because I can't stomach Jim Gray (much less Brady) but last night Gray was talking to Peter King about the tush push. Of the long-time sportscasters, those two are easily my least favorite. Two utter morons, and last night they were whining about how they hated the tush push. Their argument last night was the play is "impossible to officiate." Strange (stupid, I should say). They complained the Eagles OG were both false-starting. Okay -- there's a line judge. If it's there to be called, call it. If he can't see, it means the defense is guilty of encroachment. Not difficult to officiate.Gray said "this isn't how Bill Walsh and other old-time coaches envisioned the game" -- so, once Walsh and the others died, no more innovation allowed? Gray is just disturbingly dumb.There was another broadcast called The Players Point, where they made a more intelligent argument around forward progress. The host made the statement that on one of Hurts' sneaks his forward progress was stopped, then the other players pushed him forward. Excellent -- if true, the opposing coach should be challenging the spot and when the official comes over, the coach needs to tell the referee that the player's forward progress was stopped, and the play should have been blown dead at that point. That's an intelligent argument and -- again -- not hard to officiate. The video review would show the overhead view and easily see where Hurts' forward progress is stopped.

Greenberg has always been a clown, but Schefter and Schrager were once honest reporters and good at their jobs. Now they are all glorified mouthpieces for Goodell. And the NFL wants this gone because Roger wants the KC Swifites in the Super Bowl to continue expanding the female audience. So we will be punished for ruining the 3-peat and now beating them in week 2.So, essentially, they don't like us. Well, as you know, we don't care. F 'em.

Get to home base on your own and never mind the Phils.

The play was getting banned this coming offseason no matter what -- Roger would strong arm 2 more teams into voting for it. But making this big a spectacle of the whole thing runs the risk of turning people off and getting people to vote against the NFL because they don't like they heavy handed tactics. The strategy is just dumb.

Or side arm passes, shovel passes, the Chiefs danced around in a circle coming out of the huddle. There are all sorts of trick plays. But they will cry that the tush push isn't "real football" and is too much like rugby. Which is dumb. RBs and receivers get pushed over the line as well.Having played rugby in college…. Its nothing like rugby
September 17Sep 17 I have tush push fatigue. I'm so tired of hearing about it, I'm so tired of the talking about it, I'm so tired of the whining, I'm so tired of the same talking points every. single. time. I'm at the point where I don't even care if it's banned, at least the discourse will stop. And then the Eagles will run the QB sneak basically at the same success rate.
