Listening to the Nick Sirianni press conference today I wanted to shout out loud and it wasn't about Nick. The media is so negative you'd never know this is a 7-2 team. They barely asked about the terific defensive performance while the offense and AJ Brown's production was an overriding theme. Sure it's a half full glass, but the overwhelming megativity of the questions and comments by the media is just terrible.

AJ is the hot topic. That is what is going to get conversation going and trigger people with strong opinions.

Isn't it pathetic how the world has just become social media, and social media mirrored sensationalism? So now it's a never ending clickbait sensationalism show? Sigh.

Megativity = mega negativity (a large dose of negativity)

Seriously though, the media sucks. The questions they ask these days is mostly geared to trigger the person they are interviewing. How many times does AJ have to tell them WHY he is frustrated?!?! It's too bad the players are required to deal with these morons.

lol the media knows what buttons we like pushed.

Love letters don’t sell newspapers

The media in all forms these days are just flat out terrible, if not flat out liars, narrative mongers and clickbait artists. I feel like a grumpy old man when I say this, but, social media in particular is one of the worst things that has happened to society as a whole.

As for Philly sports media, of course they're going to focus on the "juicy" stuff. That said, there are legit questions about Brown and his involvement in the offense and lackthereof.

Drama sells and get the views/clicks

The media in general is ridiculous, not just the Philly media.

This 7-2 Eagles team is 29th in 1st downs (81), just ahead of Steelers(80), Browns(78), and Jets(77). It's just painful to watch most times.

At least you specified they are 7-2. Listen to or read the media and you'd thing they are 2-7.

Not sure about the "we" you're talking about. I prefer balance between the good and the bad. I appreciate 7-2 but don't like the play calling. Maybe if the media had a 60-40% focus on the bad vs the good, I could stomach them, but their 90-10 philosophy just doesn't work for me.

Don't read or listen to it then problem solved

You SHOULD be mad at the selfish diva who’s making things about him.

LOL that’s one positive of being an out of town fan, WIP and Philly media in general has been like that since I’ve joined these boards in 2005. I don’t think I’ve ever really heard Howard Eskins voice or seen his face outside these boards. The laugh I let out when I saw some clown bashing the eagles on fb with the name none other than spike….Hahaha the cycle continues, and now the man that fist fought TO in the Locker room is in on it. ♻️

It’s what happens when you have a guy like AJ on your team. It’s nothing new. The media is always looking for a story of locker room turmoil and most players have the emotional intelligence to know that. Once in a while you get an AJ who gladly gives the media everything they want even if it distracts his team and teammates.

The coach is frustrated with the questions but you can’t complain about the media being negative when one of your own team captains is acting like they are the 2008 Lions.

Well, I mean, the media are not fans. Nor are they going to act like fans. They go where the clicks are or where the juicy tidbits are. All media does this.

It's not just the AJ issue, it's the total negativity. The glass is never half full. I guess Mike Schmidt was right when he said -

"THE THRILL OF VICTORY AND THE AGONY OF READING ABOUT IT THE NEXT DAY"

The most accurate comment on Philly media in history.

All the media cares about is drama. Thats what gets clicks.

Maybe the Eagles should just flat out tank a season so they can get a cream puff schedule and dominate some bums and some of the ungrateful people who are having such a hard time watching victories get a taste of what it used to be like being a Eagles fan again. Just to show how bad the NFL wanted to screw the Eagles remember they’re the only SB winning team that ever had to play the following season with no consecutive home games.
