He puked in a regular season game against Tampa too. That I had on DVR. We rewound it and watched him puke in slow motion.  So I believe my own eyes. It's not about believing Freddy and TO. It's about the undisputed fact that the guy is an alcoholic. 

 

You specifically referenced the Super Bowl. Not a regular season game in Tampa.

The rumors started two weeks ago he wasn't happy, then is reported Simmons is vaccinated 7 days ago, more Harden rumors and Ben is in shape and practicing well, then this the final touch of him trying to force his way out.

Specifically I don't like him because he was a fat out of shape alcoholic. If we want to pretend that he somehow resisted the urge to get plastered in Jacksonville, that's fine. Doesn't change the fact that he was a fat out of shape underachieving alcoholic and that's why I don't like him.

Thad Young as a buy out guy for PF.

Thad is good for this year. However you still are going to have a long term issue at PF with minimal space to fill it. Granted I’m guessing with embiid and harden here someone who wants to try and win a title would come on a veteran minimum deal and you play that game.

that Said i rather just hold on to Harris this year because next year at the trade deadline, he actually becomes more valuable because he’s going to be an expiring contract at the 23-24 season. Which means you actually trade him and not give up a lot or even get back someone to take him. 

unlikely trade and i didn’t include the picks going to the pacers but would actually allow you to keep Harris and do a deal in the offseason or deadline next year

Fair enough. I just won't accept this idea that he absolutely puked in the Super Bowl when there is zero credible evidence.

The reason McNabb is hated is similar to why a guy like Schmidt was never embraced (obviously, Schmidt was a much better player in his sport). McNabb wasn't gritty/emotional/fiery enough for this fanbase (see Garcia, Jeff), just like people complained Schmidt didn't seem like he cared.

This is the most annoying thing about this fan base lol. You can be the worst player in the world but, as long as you act like a jack ass and hustle even if it amounts to nothing Philly will love you forever. That's why so many dopes are stuck on Hurts now

So the Nets are pushing for both Maxey and Thybulle plus Simmons? I want Ben gone, but the F out of here with that. Hope Morey laughed in their faces if that was their ask.

I'm sure he did. The fact the Nets are engaging at all is the headline here...seems like just a matter of time.

i hope morey asked for KD instead  

Also, why are there 2 threads now?

I feel like 80% confident this will get done. And Maxey will not be part of it.

Sam amik in his article i posted from the athletic basically said the sixers know harden is out at the end of the year and have a way to sign him outright and the nets get nothing in return for him when he does.

The other concern with the nets is if James Harden plays that way and doesn’t care you’re not winning a title this season anyway. because Kyrie Irving you don’t know when or when he’s not gonna play. Durant even if he comes back plays like he does isn’t enough to carry that team with a harden playing like he is and Kyrie off and on. IF Harden is truly out there half assing it like he did in Houston

I think Dick Vermeil and Vince Papale were alcoholics too.  They puked.  Together.  

As was the owner. One big drunk happy family.

Yeah. Totally valid. Completely believable that the at the most intensely covered sporting event of the year, with dozens of cameras, not a single one picked up any evidence but it definitely happened because Freddie Mitchell said so. Oh, and TO. If you can't trust TO and FredEx, who can you trust in this crazy world. 

McNabb had a bad game. The idea he was vomiting on the field and no camera caught any evidence is laughable.

The reason McNabb is hated is similar to why a guy like Schmidt was never embraced (obviously, Schmidt was a much better player in his sport). McNabb wasn't gritty/emotional/fiery enough for this fanbase (see Garcia, Jeff), just like people complained Schmidt didn't seem like he cared. They saw Iverson get slammed around, get up and do the Hulk Hogan ear thing to the crowd. So they overlooked all his faults (didn't play the team game, didn't practice or improve, etc.). It's the same reason a guys like Kruk and Dykstra (before he went insane) were so loved -- because Philly likes guys who give the appearance of effort. 

The other reason McNabb wasn't embraced? Well...this is touchy but...he was too black for white fans and not black enough for black fans. The guy took crap from Rush Limbaugh and the head of the Philly NAACP. That's got to be a first.

I would add there’s a portion of fans that since he retired have grown to dislike him more as time has gone by. some of the stuff he’s done since he’s left Philadelphia and things he said in the media. I like McNabb when he was here. I defended him probably more than I probably should’ve at times, but his antics and things he’s done since he retired hasn’t helped him either.

It's trendy.

The DUIs are awful -- just completely irresponsible and dangerous. I haven't really minded much of his "commentary," but I really don't let any of these guys get under my skin (that takes patience with Bayless since he is a world class troll and clown). 

Since he retired, I have had a few acquaintances who have interacted with him and...let's just say I wouldn't choose to hang with the dude. But I still am a fan (my dog was named after him) and can't understand the need to try and diminish what he did for this organization. He remains the best QB in team history, and prior to 2017 was responsible for the happiest periods of my Eagles fandom.

Oh I know he doesn’t have a high moral character. I am friends with a girl who was his mistress out in Scottsdale.
