Just gonna leave this here. Would’ve went bednarik, white, dawkins and reid. 

Howie Roseman is on there strictly for the clicks.  No real Eagles fan has a GM anywhere near a teams "Mount Rushmore"

Reggie White and Brian Dawkins are my locks.

Donovan and AR did so much good for this team.  DP got them the ring.  Tommy McDonald and Chuck Bednarick are HOF.  Randall Cunningham is the reason for a lot of people being Eagles fans today.  Tough call for my final 2.

 

Speaking of Tommy McDonald, does anyone have plans to see the Tommy and Me theater production?

    I'm sorry I brough such a depressing topic into the blog.  A little back story without too much detail. I met my friend 12 years ago during an AF commissioning program. He was on top of the world

Imo bednarik, white and dawk are locks. The final spot came down to reid and mcnabb for me. If we did super bowl era i have reid and mcnabb in there. Carmichael, Kelce, Eric Allen would be on the outside looking in with some others

That’s how I am for real. I’d love to travel the world, but those movies make me feel like there are folks out there that’d pay to torture and kill me. 

Your chances of that are probably way higher in the US than in Europe though.

Do they have to tell "you" that or are they being asked questions from the medical version of flat earthers that refuse to believe any evidence put in front of them? My guess is it's the second.

Howie gets credit for the SB, and it's big. But I'd never put a GM on a Mt Rushmore, GTFOH

Saw that. Also reports he was in the best shape he’s been in his career at OTA thay maybe he had something in his system that he shouldn’t have been. The Caleb swanigan story seems more like he balloon up to 600 pounds and that ultimately took its toll on his health. This feels like an OD or maybe something he was using

Impossible!

All the media told us there are no side effects. It’s been tested for several months by the manufacturers themselves!

Oh man...didn't realize he was the one who put Roseman on there.

I'm not surprised.

Tommy and Me?  Oh wow. Never heard of it.  
 

Joking.   I don’t care how good it is, tired of hearing Didinger talking about it for a decade.  We get it dude, you wrote a play about your man crush.  Go **** in private.  We don’t need to see a play about it.  Freak show.  

My dad got me tickets to go see it so I don't have a choice. 

Correct Eagles Mt Rushmore, IMO, should be one from every era-ish.

Bednarik, White, McNabb, Kelce in a mummers outfit

ESP wants Eskin’s job, that is no secret.  He knows what he’s doing.   He has zero credibility.   Remember when beat writers just wrote and didn’t editorialize or interject their personal opinions into every topic?   ESP is as bad as it gets.  

If ESP and Marcus hayes did a podcast it could be the two of the worst journalist in the city. Can call it philly trash takes.

Never thought of it that way.  That makes it easier and wouldn't argue with that one.

They tend to mislead.  Big truck adds throughout the south talk about fighting the insurer.  Most trucking firms for most cases involve self insurance (or small truckers carrying the minimum under the amendments of the Motor Carrier Act, $500,000 or $1 million depending on what the haul is). They billboard attorneys lie about insurers all the time.  There are laws about fair settlement practices.  And look at the violence.  They want to "fight”.  You can’t "fight” in court.  Ever see an insurance adjuster that wants to "fight”?  What nonsense. The goal is to protect the client.  The insurers don’t get sued, except in La. And Quebec.  It’s the customer that’s at risk and that is why they bought a policy, to protect their assets.  The bragging about settlements or verdicts is absurd.  They rarely say how much the plaintiff actually got after paying 33-40% and up for contingency fees plus overpaid "experts”.  Those big cases are coupled with debilitating and usually permanent injury.  Like amputation, paralysis or catastrophic brain injuries.  That’s a bit misleading to most injured parties.  The basis of most billboard firms is volume of small cases.  They never say that.  The defendants don’t factor in plaintiff litigation costs as part of their offers because under the American rule, they are not collectible in most cases.   Don’t get me wrong.  There are times that an injured party can benefit from representation by counsel.  I will point out that gathering medical and lost wage information is much faster when the carrier gets authorizations from the injured party rather than has to wait on the billboard firms.  Further, you have to question when suit is immediately brought in many cases because of contingency escalation clauses when cases go to litigation.   More important to the defense side is the sureness of a settlement so they are focused from day one on resolution.  The billboards never say that.  (The TV ads are worse.)  I know thousands of claim adjusters and claim executives.  Some of the most empathetic people I know.  

I went to Hawaii in May. They are very proud of their no billboards law.  They have that right. 

I would rather pass a billboard than have to deal with 3 new car insurance junk mailings a week. I think there's a variety of firms that advertise and don't advertise.   I don't think you will get anywhere without claims that have merit.  The cost of managing marginal claims is not profitable.  It's just not good business. I will say that some injuries look and sound much worse than they end up being.  As to misleading adds, I can think of a few people that would take issue with idea that Nationwide is on their side in a UIM/UM claim.  

I will just agree to disagree with you on the rest.  I will just say there is far more money spent by insurance carriers for experts in my field than plaintiffs.  It's not even close.  Don't get me started on quasi-experts they use.    There are plenty of adjusters that take things personally and plenty of insurance companies that cut off their noses to spite their face.  Let's not mention some defense attorneys and firms that need to churn their files serving useless discovery requests and not getting their ducks in a row for mediation.  Sure there are plenty of rational actors and there are plenty of legitimate questions of fact or medically complex questions.  There good carriers that are reasonable.  There are plenty of carriers that I disagree with on their handling.  There are plenty of bad plaintiff's attorneys that settler their clients' claim without authority and for nickels on the dollar.  Some of them advertise on billboards and some do not.

It would be nice if elected officials had to understand the Constitution before they got elected. It's clear Jim Jordan has no idea what the 1st amendment means.  

I get why people wanna put Nick Foles on the Mount Rushmore for the Eagles. However the way I viewed it is imo if I put Nick foles on Mount Rushmore then I also have to put Brandon Graham on that Rushmore. Because as well as Nick Foles played that game and he was phenomenal without Brandon Graham‘s strip sack, foles probably isn’t on anybody’s Mount Rushmore because Tom Brady likely would’ve went down the field and scored a touchdown and one that game with how the defense is playing. Nick Foles had to play phenomenal for them to win that Super Bowl but they also need a Graham strip sack to still needed to bring it home and that’s one of the greatest plays in eagles history 

I love both of those guys but I wouldn’t put either one of them on the mount Rushmore because I think when you think of the Eagles reid, mcnabb, dawkins, Reggie White and Chuck bednarik are the greatest players who have ever played for the organization or coached the organization.

Uhhhhhh. What?   Portnoy is banned from NFL games because of his public bashing of Goodell.  Jim Jordan is exactly right?  Even though I’d prefer elected officials focus more on the terrible shape our country is in.  But, what do you think the 1st amendment means?   

What branch of the government is the NFL?

The government isn't allowed to write laws that infringes people's freedom of speech, freedom of the press, or the right to a peaceful protest. A business banning someone openly slandering their product doesn't fall into the 1st amendment protections.

That the government can't punish you for the things you say....it doesn't mean private companies or other people aren't going to impose consequences of some type.

Yup we have to include our only SB winning qb, especially in the fashion he did it in.

Is Nick Foles an All-Time Eagles great or just a QB who caught fire at the right time?  They don't win the SB without Foles but they also don't win the SB, let alone get to the SB without Carson Wentz,  Alshon Jeffrey, BG. Patrick Robinson and even Derek Barnett.

Mount Rushmore is for the All-Timers.  Nick Foles will go down in history as the Eagles SB winning QB.  Is Jeff Hostetler on the NY Giants Mount Rushmore?

We have only been to the SB 3 times, We lost 2 of the 3. The first QB to bring us a SB championship- by that alone, he is an ALL TIME GREAT.

I don't disagree and I'm a Nick Foles fan.  I'm overthinking the Mount Rushmore because it's what I do best.
