Don't know if you guys saw this. It sucks

James Franklin told reporters following practice on Wednesday night that running back Journey Brown will no longer be able to play football.

Wow.  Too bad for the kid.

Good stuff, Manu. Any info on Alshon in the slot since 2017?  Surprised to see JJAW with majority of his snaps in the slot.  

Yet you respond.  

I tried to find it at PlayerProfiler, but their 2019 numbers didn’t show slot snaps.

Thanks for trying.  IIRC, Jeffery took snaps from the slot in the past

I thought this was hilarious but obviously no one would really want Sheetz over Wawa.  

He’s from York but he spent time being a Yinzer. So I guess that would explain the Sheetz preference. But no person who has the choice between the two would actually choose Sheetz.

Rutters or Turkey Hill are the other options here.

I became a fan of Sheetz when I first moved to central PA, but then it got old to me. I’ve found I like Rutters a bit more.

I think rutters is a good mix between sheetz and Wawa

We have Sheetz, Snappy's and Quickfill near me I only ever purchase gas for the most part at any of them (unless I really need something in an emergency) Sheetz is last on my list for gas I actually get 10 - 20 miles more out of a tank of Snappy's or Quickfill gas than I do Sheetz.

A backup QB doesn't help Wentz for the future

Unless they plan on giving up Wentz and making Hurts the starter then it doesn't help the team for the future

Howie thinks he can flip QBs for a profit but that hasn't happened at a consistent rate. The last QB they traded for a profit was Bradford I think.

It was a bad pick

The charge was that the Eagles never draft for the future. Helping Wentz was not the issue, although drafting three receivers and two OL certainly helps there. However, drafting Hurts  indicates forward thought in at least two ways: (1) Wentz gets injured - and considering his history and howoften he gets hit that is a distinct possibility; (2) Wentz's performance worsens - in which case having another good QB on the roster would prove valuable.

The idea is not to do everything just to help Wentz: it is to do as much as possible to help Wentz and  Strengthen the team in other ways as well. Football is not a one-man game.

Sheetz is to the mid state (including Harrisburg) what Wawa is to the Philly area.   Me?  I have never eaten food made at a convenience store.   I worked in one for about 3/4s of a year to get the experience needed to work in a grocery store with my long hair while in college.  I knew a number of people working in convenience stores and I wouldn’t have eaten their food.  The Marylanders around here swear by Royal Farms fried chicken.  Haven’t eaten that either.  Until Guy shows up at Wawa or Sheetz for Diners, Drive ins and Dives, I am not eating at either. But Sheetz cards work for gas too, so maybe Fetterman is targeting that.  He is a proponent of legalizing marijuana so maybe he wants the Sheetz cards for his munchies.  

I am well aware of what Sheetz is, and I even tried it.... its not good.  BTW... my standard for measurement is the coffee.  Wawa coffee is very good.  Sheetz coffee is barely drinkable.

That is sad, but better that than to have him out there and die on the field, as others have had happen on the court.   Terrible news, but better to know than to not know.

Rational thought has no place here.  This is your final warning.

Not a PSU fan but that sucks, he's a very good player.  This is almost like  Dorenbos case.  Brown was getting tested for Covid and they found the heart issue.  It is NOT Covid related but if he wasn't getting the test they wouldn't have found the heart problem.  I really hope the media doesn't run with this and say it was a Covid related issue.

Brett Favre may be my most disliked player ever. 10 years later the media still slobbers over him.

This is a big deal, even only to get Pryor off the field. I like Herbig more at RG anyway.

If you need training let me know. I have extra time now that training "how to gorge yourself at a buffet" has been shut down

His opinion might have some credibility if he didn't do the same thing through his career as wentz is doing this year.

With Seumalo coming back this week or next and if Peters is decent at RG, am I crazy in thinking that the best oline they could field would be Mailata Seumalo Kelce Peters and Lane? Possibly another stupid question but Brooks has no shot at a return this season correct? Going back to Peters at guard, could he really be worse than the guys they've had to play there? Herbig is improving a bit I think but the other guys have set a really low bar.
