We'll see what happens. The owners could take that approach but I think it would be highly disastrous, especially if they want to protect their investment. 

It's a short term problem assuming an effective vaccine is available in 2021.

ESP gets for his idiocy

Never have truer words been spoken. 

The reporters wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't ask Carson about Hurts every which way. Of course people want to hear about it...

I call BS on your BS call.  It's overblown.   4 out of 5 questions on it?   Is it worth that much?    Nah.  Ask a question, maybe a follow-up, then move on.   

They asked 4 questions because he didn't take the bait they wanted him to with the first two... so they kept throwing questions at him trying to get him to say something controversial.  They want it to be a bigger story, so they pushed it and pushed it hard.  4 questions is too many on the same topic.  Jalen Reagor... that's a big add.  Goodwin, Hightower and Watkins - all speedy guys.  That's 4 speed guys.  Seems to me that a lot of these guys see the attention that ESP gets for his idiocy and they get jealous and try to follow his way of approaching things.  

If you think the average fan is more interested or even close to as interested in Wentz’s thoughts on Reagor, Goodwin, Hightower and Watkins then you’re being completely naive. 

Be mad at Howie for the pick that led to the questions, not the media.

It’s completely absurd to think otherwise. 

Hear the Eagles are in the market for Clowney. Smart move. Can't cheap shot your QB if he's on your team -- good thinking, Eagles.

Contrast to Jefferson's comments.

I like that. Do it for yourself Jalen rather than for others. 

Damn, Claypool got a baller number and landed on a team that’s great at drafting WRs. He’s gonna prove me wrong.

I'd put a wager on Highsmith being the better player by far, if I were a betting man.  

Eagles' fanbase ranked 5th in US for passion by Forbes.   Nonsense.

 

Here's the top 5:
Green Bay Packers
New England Patriots
New Orleans Saints
Pittsburgh Steelers
Philadelphia Eagles

 

I think there's a lot of front running with a lot of this.

I wish the Eagles would steal a scout or figure out what the heck the Steelers do when it comes to WR but man I'm jealous with the way they draft certain positions.

There were like 3 dozen Patriot fans 20 years ago.  Packers and Steelers fans have stayed with their team through some lean years.  I haven't met a single Patriots fan that rooted for the team in the pre-Brady era.

Yup.  There are very few 'life-long' Pats fans, and we'll see them go back to obscurity with this fall off that's coming.  Boston is a baseball town.

Again, I do think their fans are longer standing but there was no real home advantage for them prior to Brees.

Football was a solid 4th behind the Celtics and Bruins as well.

It depends on the nature of the vaccine and on the nature of the mutation.

I'm not an expert but not all of the virus has mutated. It's not a single entity.  Just because there's a mutation it doesn't mean a vaccine would be rendered useless.

When Howie insinuates that Carson wasn't thrilled with the pick and then media rounds done by Howie to explain the pick, do you honestly not think Carson won't get several questions on it his first time speaking after the pick?

I mean, seriously?

Total BS.

Having lived for many years in both Philly and Pittsburgh, I'd call it a draw.  I don't think any other cities come remotely close.  GB is a unique situation, but that's not even a city.  Patriots and Saints don't belong anywhere on the list.

I didn't say that he shouldn't get 'several' questions.  4 out of 5 to start is a bit much, imo.  The first couple should have shown that he wasn't taking the bait.
