So who is Sweat going against that makes him so good? If it's Dillard then I'm not going crazy about him. It can't be against Jordan too much because he's also having a great camp. Is it against Johnson? 

For what it's worth, I thought Sproles played very well down the stretch in '18 after coming back from whatever injury he had that kept out for most of the damn season. I remember him making a helluva touchdown run on a screen pass (I think) against the Texans (I think). I'm not sure the Eagles make the playoffs without his contribution down the stretch. So I think it's kind of unfair to label his final three seasons as complete garbage. It's just not true.

Uhhh, I hunted in a very sparsely populated area and gps is what got me there. Sat phones are what my guide used at the cabin.

Cell phone towers have been goiing up left and right, when they were building the network you couldn't get service in many areas.

BTW, it's not a matter of me playing devils advocate but rather me not being a group thinker.

Groups thinking is a matter of the school system,  when I attended school all students had their individual desks, nowadays many students sit in group settings, if you don't go along with the majority you're an outcast, aka, no critical thinking skills allowed.

Wouldn't that be something if he finally beats the Seahawks in his first game as a Colt.

You mean beat Russell. That's all the hawks have left.

This isn't news to people who know how to use a calendar

Still embarrassed that a lot of Eagles fans thought it was 5-12 weeks of the regular season

I do like Joe Buck. Unsure if it's me Liking joe buck, or just such TERRIBLE competition that he's better then everyone

Joe Buck is horrible.  Sucks as a football announcer, and is even worse as a baseball announcer.  Thank god I have ways to watch and listen to games without him.

That's just not true.  One of the best WRs in the league, the best safety, the best MLB, a top 3 HC.

WTF, reporting to the Mods a comment on GPS where it was referenced in a MPH stat for an Eagle WR.  Yet you quoted Duck Walk, or whatever the F that troll is today.  JFC. 

EagleVA is a clown flat earth conspiracy guy, and that is exactly what he was talking about as to why GPS is a lie.

Should be interesting to see the new offensive system tomorrow night.  (How it compares to the Pederson/Reid system etc).  I’m assuming it’s still a hybrid of the West Coast offense with RPO’s mixed in?

I've always preferred Kevin Harlan for football, and Thom Brennaman for baseball.  Harlan has the irritating habit though of describing passes as "line-drive throws", while Brennaman said the wrong thing on a hot mic and likely won't get a national job anytime soon.

I don't know how Kevin Harlan has not gotten any run for the Monday Night Football gig.  Would make that broadcast 100x better.  Having MLBTV, I get to listen to my local announcers ( I am an A's fan ).  Glen Kuiper and Ray Fosse are outstanding ( Fosse is currently away from the booth dealing with cancer ).  Dallas Braden had been the 3rd man, but is now the game analyst, is freaking hilarious.  A's radio team is also outstanding.  

Good thing about MLBTV, is you can watch either cities TV feed, and overlay their radio announcers over the TV feed.  I will listen to the other teams TV and radio announcers.  All are better than Joe Buck.

How can he go from sidelined out for up to 12 calendar weeks to "trending towards being ready" to start the season?    Not that I care.  What we all should want is for Wentz to be rushed back.  Struggle.  Reich sticks with him.  The Colts suffer a serious of other injuries and bad losses.  But still sticking with Wentz.  They win 3 games and he plays his requisite number of starts.....

Pretty easy actually when the media loves to accentuate the negative all the time. Easier to drive people crazy with the "he could be out 12 weeks!" instead of "he'll probably be ready for game 1". You should know how this works by now!

Putting the desks together encourages cooperation and discussion of ideas, not rugged Individualism.

I don't think the lack of separate desks is the reason kids aren't taught critical thinking skills in schools...

May have more to do with standardized testing and memorization  to successfully fill out said bubble sheet to prepares one for a life of menial industrial tasks...👎

I think the 5-12 week window was being reported because the time missed was dependent on how much ligament damage there was in the foot, how the foot responded right after surgery, etc. and those things couldn't be evaluated until after the surgery was done -- but yes, you're absolutely right because a lot of folks in here automatically defaulted to assuming the worst-case scenario.

Idk why so many people loved this moment. Doesn’t really come off as a leader.

F that guy.  There is history, and he got me banned on the old board, when he supposedly had me on ignore.

Preseason. Sirianni has already said he's not showing a lot of the offense, since no one has game film on him, why give them any?

Everyone knows Carson likes to come back early from injury.  That is his MO.  Come back too early, his body isn't ready and then he either re-injures himself with the same injury or some other part of his body compensates and he gets injured.  I would have more faith in the 1st round pick if he stuck to his proper timeline.

If that is the case, why are you always trying to prove yourself to everyone?  It's either a bet or a far fetched story.  You obviously care, maybe even too much.
