FTX went bankrupt, their CEO resigned. I wonder about the athletes that decided to take salary in crypto.  Do you suppose that their agents put in provisions so they could opt back to dollars?  Aaron Rodgers took part of his new contract in crypto.  Trevor Lawrence took his entire signing bonus in crypto.  Saquon Barkley took all of his endorsements in crypto.  OBJ took part of his contract in crypto.  At one point, Brady was pushing crypto but I think that was just an endorsement deal.  Can you imagine having a disgruntled player fretting pay because half of their bonus money disappeared with the crypto collapse?  As far as I can recall, I am not aware that any Eagles took part of their contract in crypto.  But I almost wonder if the under performance this year of some of the athletes that went crypto is being impacted by their concern over their losses.  (Look how an amiable divorce impacted Brady.). Do those of you that parlay consider outside impacts to athletes?

I'm not up in arms at all.  Those 3 deserved it. 

Since people are discussing moderation of the boards,  I just stated an idea. 

It doesnt have to do with this particular situation.  Just an idea in general.

I dont think they deserved it at all, aside from Bacarty, and thats only because he was starting to get fanatical and lose his mind a bit lol. He needed a break for his own good. I actually find all 3 of them entertaining and for me thats what this particular blog is about. Now that theyre gone we're stuck with topics like "what is a chicken wing" and left with posters who troll because anyone who doubted Hurts is racist.

I will say @TorontoEagle brings up a good point about mods activity because if they were to read this blog every day and spend as much time in it as we do, then they would know exactly who to suspend and who not to. Not base it off of how many posts are reported.

That's the thing about the whole cryptocurrency craze.  Always seemed like a massive bubble that was likely to burst eventually.  

I feel bad for them, but when you are making risky investments, you need to be prepared to lose it all.  That's the dangerous game of speculative investments.   You could hit it big... or you could end up with nothing.

I’ve been out of work battling the flu all week so I’ve spent more time on these boards than usual. One thing is certain, you can’t blame specific posters for being the root of problems. One a-hole leaves, two take his place. 

It’s just like DC…. 🤐

Scrapple sucks. Pork roll is life.

How many active mods are there? We don’t know.

Why is it that only one mod is handing out suspensions every time? We don’t know

How does one become a mod? We don’t know

Just read an article about him the other day. At the end of the Superbowl run, after taxes he only made like $32k with the Rams. If he still is holding the bitcoin and decided to cash out, at this point he would have paid almost $200k to play last year. 

So going back the last 3-4 seasons or so, the Cowboys have been a terrible matchup for the Birds. With Dak back, I think it’s going to be a real tough game. It was a tough game with Cooper Rush. Just don’t trust our run D or Mailata blocking Lawrence or Parsons. 

We’ll see but right now I’m not confident in that matchup.

I’ve never had so much as a warning point, but if I ever did it wouldn’t be the mod’s fault. I’m in control of what I type. It’s not a mod issue. It’s a poster issue. 

Yup...take care of one's own business....I have always been about the right to express one's opinion, but there is no place for incivility. The mods have done a great job lately...this place needs to be treated differently to maintain some level of integrity. I have been hesitant to post for the past two years because of the toxic environment, while others have just left...I look forward to contributing more and discussing the joy of watching the Eagles season roll out...Go Birds

Feel free to use the ignore feature. 

@LeanMeanGM

Eagles 30 and the DC Grifters 17.

Dammit, Smith for a TD.  Nevermind how.  At this point I don't care if he jet sweeps it in.

Reported

@LeanMeanGM

Eagles 27

Snyder 3

Bonus: Quinn gets a strip sack

For years we have moaned about Howie collecting nickel corners, yet with the injuries to Maddox and Scott, there is concern about who covers Samuel on Monday. Wallace played some nickel at Clemson, Chachere has played some nickel.  I recall that when McPhearson was drafted, many saw him as a nickel back.  I think those will all see time on Monday.  But if McPhearson is playing, who are the back up corners if Scott, Maddox, and Jobe are out.  We have Guidry, who still doesn’t have a number on PE.com, as a nickel, Goodrich and McCain.  Pretty confident that one is active this week and the money is probably on McCain.  Scott is limited in practice, so he may be active. Note Jobe DNP but he has been injured for weeks and did play 9 ST snaps last Thursday.  They may be acting cautious with Maddox and Jobe to let the hammies rest a bit.

Damn.  Bad decision.  He could become the new broke Terrell Owens.
