In all seriousness, how in the wide world of sports does Shadeur Sanders make the Pro Bowl this season?

I heard Gargano and he said it was the story and it was possible. Fangio talks each year of retiring. But he's coming back

Thank the Phillies for running it back. Probably is realizing he needs stuff to keep his mind off that team during the summer lol

Apparently Jerrod Johnson's contract with the Texans ran out. If the Eagles were cross interviewing candidates in their second interviews for staff positions, it wouldn't be shocking to see Johnson brought in as QB coach.

Speaking of Johnsons.

Feels like Webb is getting that job unless he’s becoming a HC which looks less likely

How does that guy still have a damn job? He must be really desperate to go that crazy

I mean Howard Eskin has worked for 40+ years in the city.

If Fangio retires now, I will blame you.

Spotrac was already using $304.3mm for the cap, so that's inline.

I think he's an alt but still. There are many others that should be an alt before him

I think this is a disaster. So a team is celebrating a 4th down stop, then we come back from commercial and turns out replay called a BS roughing the passer?

Get better refs and then accept some human error

Would replay really make a BS call? The point is the eliminate the BS calls and missed calls by the refs.

If the net result is a more accurately called game, then it's an improvement - even with the celebrations for naught.

How would it eliminate BS calls? All it says is they can throw the flag after replay, not pick it up.

This should go over well here

A 50% jump in cap from 4 years ago is wild. And yet every year some fans claim that the NFL is a dying product, on the path to irrelevancy, etc.

I forget what site it was projected Goedert to only get 6m per season on the open market. If that's his market the Eagles should absolutely bring him back. Somehow I doubt it though. I think some team will pay him more. But either way I'd expect finding their new future TE to be a big focus this season. And finding backups who can block other than TEs who can't block(and also can't receive ironically!)

Mannion making a difference already.

Not sure if posted but I was on twitter that Bo Wulf said Jerrod Johnson’s contract was up. So I could see that as QB coach interview

So, this is a result of the TV deals that were redone in 2021. They basically put a bunch of benefit into the 2021 cap to offset the COVID impact, and then smoothed the rest over the life of the deals. They have also added the Netflix deal for Christmas, Youtube Sunday Ticket and a few other revenue enhancers. The current deals run through 2033, but the league can (and will) opt out after 2029. That's why a lot of our contracts with massive dead money (most notably Hurts) hit in 2029 and after (Hurts could be extended to punt that as well). Howie plays that game extremely well.

The reason for the massive increases in TV rights isn't solely related to the NFL or its product - it's more a function of TV viewing habits. Sports, and sports entertainment (WWE), are the only remaining programs on TV that consumers watch love. This makes the commercials infinitely more valuable as they are somewhat DVR proof. We were invested in WWE back in the day on this thesis and made a killing when it redid its TV deals. You're seeing NBA and MLB also benefit, but the NFL remains king.

Strongest arm competition?

Is the tush push dead? Both GB and TB voted to ban it. I doubt Mannions and Grizzards had any input, but if Sirianni is really turning the offense over, will we still see that in the playbook?

A lot of that is due to COVID though and the adjustments they did to account for the revenue shortfall, but that's besides your point.
