Guy behind me at the (jam packed) liquor store was wearing a Nelson Agholor jersey because "I don't want to catch the coronavirus." Said he's wearing it everywhere he goes in public.
Fans, never take for granted when your team has a franchise QB for a decade. Because one day, your team will be down bad enough to post a JJ Arcega-Whiteside hype video.
The Rams since then:
1. Made five playoffs
2. Won seven playoff games
3. Made two Super Bowls
4. Won a Super Bowl
Hard to imagine it working out better for a team going eight years between first-round picks.
In the upcoming NFL draft, the Los Angeles Rams are scheduled to make their first first-round pick since 2016, when they used the No. 1 overall pick on Jared Goff.
Whether or not Jalen Hurts is good, I still see absolutely zero reason Howie Roseman should be allowed to clean up the mess he made. Eagles need new leadership.
Doug Pederson’s coaching tree — which consists of only Frank Reich — has as many NFL playoff wins as Bill Belichick’s. That total is 1.
If Reich beats the Chiefs this week, he moves beyond the entire Belichick tree.
It’s still so weird to me that breaking the plane is instantly a TD on a run, but you basically have to shove the ball up your butt to complete a catch in the end zone.
A major discussion topic among NFL owners/executives at this week’s league meetings is the Chargers’ viability in LA. PSL sales have been a struggle and team is expected to revise its Inglewood revenue goals sharply to a more realistic number: $400m to around $150m, per sources
Totally random find here... but this tweet is from 2014. Both Peters and Whitworth will be starting this weekend at left tackle... seven years after they were already the oldest two left tackles in the NFL.
If Ryan Fitzpatrick throws for 238 yards in Week 1, he will pass three Hall of Famers — YA Tittle, Troy Aikman, and Steve Young — in career passing yards.
I lost my dad six years ago. I have dreams about him at least three times a week, and they’re just normal. They’re not wild. We’re doing normal things in them. Driving, cooking, whatever.
I welcome these dreams every night because they keep him alive.
Happy Father’s Day.
Seriously, Eagles fans. I mean this with no exaggeration: Chauncey Gardner-Johnson may be at the peak of "Dawg In Eem Mountain." He is Sir Edmund Hillary of Dawg in Eem.
Kurt Warner is great in the booth. He’s a Hall of Famer. Super Bowl champion. How did ESPN decide to hire Jason Witten over him? Is it because he lacks a star on his helmet?
How much would NFL Twitter be losing its shit if Lamar Jackson went down on an unpenalized hit to the skull like Wentz did tonight?
I see so many people I respect dunking on Wentz because he’s “injury prone” and it’s fucking gross.
We lost my boy, Stanley, today on his 9th birthday. I got to say goodbye, but I am just utterly crushed right now. I didn't know how painful this would be.
We got him six years ago, three months after my dad passed away. Stanley saved me and gave me more than I ever gave him.
The Eagles failing to trade for Marcus Mariota during the Chip Kelly failure is one of the best things that happened to their franchise in their history.
While we’re on the subject of Nickelodeon, once we all get vaccinated, Nick should open a chain of bars and restaurants for adults where we can rent out the space and compete in Legends of the Hidden Temple and GUTS.
Jameis is so talented. He’s making a supporting cast of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and OJ Howard unproductive. The ability it takes to do that is staggering.
Ajayi played through a broken back and a torn ACL, because his team needed him. Will likely be “rewarded” with a cheap “prove it” deal this offseason.
Perfect example of why the devaluation of RBs is gross and manipulative and why the NFLPA should fight in a few years.
The Eagles absolutely tanked. They did it for the good of their team. It was ugly as shit. They should not be punished because a 6-10 team didn’t make it into the playoffs.
WR Kadarius Toney (oblique/quad), CB Adoree Jackson (quad) and QB Mike Glennon (concussion) working on the side.
WR Kenny Golladay (ribs) also doing VERY little.
Given the circumstances, I’m trying to think of a bigger fantasy bust than Tony Pollard in recent years.
He’s healthy. The offense is good. His role is fantastic. He just… does absolutely nothing.
In 1997, Jerry Rice tore his ACL in Week 1.
He returned in Week 16 (!) and caught a touchdown pass... but fractured his kneecap on the play.
In 1998, Rice had 1157 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns.
He was 36 years old.
The Eagles are likely going to retool their entire defense and take a step back, but it feels like it's Howie Roseman saying "we got old, slow, and expensive real quick after the last Super Bowl and that will not happen again."
Exactly 10 years ago, I was a 22-year old kid who broke into the fantasy industry and had no idea what it would become.
After those 10 years, today is my last day at .
It was entirely my decision to leave.
I wish everyone at FG and FGE all the best.
The Eagles’ rules committee proposals are always awesome.
Other teams are like “Rule 27 Section 14 should be amended to allow one more team personnel member to be on the sidelines.”
Eagles are like “FUCK IT. WATER BALLOON CONTEST TO DETERMINE OVERTIME POSSESSION.”

QB Jalen Hurts has thrown a TD pass that was called back on a penalty AND the Eagles didn't score a TD on the same drive.
If he got credit for those 4 TD in a 4-point passing TD league... he'd be the overall QB1. (He's the current QB3.)
Big winner from last night: the Vikings

.
Traded down a bunch, picked up meaningful picks, and got Christian Darrisaw.
Someone I trust texted me last night that he didn't see a significant difference in Darrisaw and Penei Sewell in terms of level of prospect.
On the same day the Bears traded a 2023 2nd-round pick for Chase Claypool...
The Jaguars traded a 2023 5th-round pick and a 2024 4th-round pick for Calvin Ridley (which can become a 2nd).
Claypool: 140 yards and 0 TD in 8 games with Chi. Ridley: 101 and 1 TD in 1 game with Jax.
I think it's cruel for the NFL to put Nathaniel Hackett on primetime every damn week, we don't need to see a man shitting his pants that many times right there on national television.
In the end - the

had the worst offensive weapons of any team in the playoffs. Tom Brady isn’t what he was, but he wasn’t their problem either.
They need to make one Hallmark Christmas movie every year that’s a total bloodbath. Everyone dies and gets divorced. But they don’t tell you which one ahead of time so you’re always on your toes.
