Eagles turned Carson Wentz into Jalen Carter and 4 seasons of AJ Brown which we then flipped into getting the 1st rounder we traded to acquire AJ Brown back. Howie is very good at this job.

Throughout the game, one fan kept asking Aaron Judge “Hey Aaron, what number is Derek Jeter?”. And he responded every single time. Best thing you’ll see today

Rob Thomson gave the Phillies four great years and one really bad month. He got a tough break. Thanks for everything. #Phillies

Five year NFL Consensus Draft grades by team. It's really no surprise the Ravens and Eagles are at the top. And the 49ers and Jaguars once again rounding out the rear...

Another fun Jeffrey Lurie fact: Every head coach he’s hired has won either Coach of the Year or a Super Bowl: • Ray Rhodes — COY (1995) • Andy Reid — COY (2002) • Chip Kelly — COY (2013) • Doug Pederson — Super Bowl (2017) • Nick Sirianni — Super Bowl (2024) It appears he knows how to hire a football coach.
Since it’s the Owners Meetings, this is one of the only times Jeffrey Lurie speaks, so we’ll see what he has to say. That said, Eagles fans are lucky to have him. Older fans remember what it was like before he took over in 1995… the results speak for themselves: Since Lurie (1995–present): • Record: 287-211-3 (57.5%) • Playoff Wins: 21 • NFC Titles: 4 • Super Bowl Wins: 2 Before Lurie (Super Bowl era): • Record: 174-218-8 (44.5%) • Playoff Wins: 4 • NFC Titles: 1 • Super Bowl Wins: 0 He didn’t just improve the Philadelphia Eagles, he transformed them from a losing franchise into a consistent NFC powerhouse and one of the best-run organizations in sports.

This is interesting. It feels like it’s obvious that Frank retired because he was physically fighting through injuries and pain, and it got to a point that he no longer could play the game in an enjoyable, effective, or healthy way. The whole purpose of a signing bonus is to be a guarantee up front that insures a salary irregardless of performance metrics, or most importantly injuries that could compromise your career in the future. What makes this interesting is that Frank likely retired “voluntarily”, meaning, he wasn’t declared medically unfit to play by a doctor, which allows the team to ask for a prorated amount of his signing bonus back. Had he been medically deemed unfit to play football by a doctor before he retired, the team wouldn’t be able to recoup part of the signing bonus. Let me say this first, if a player truly just retires without reason, or because they’ve lost the desire to play, I completely get and acknowledge teams should be able to recoup compensation when players don’t fulfill there contractual obligations and agreements. However, Frank was known for being hurt and playing through injuries most players wouldn’t play through constantly. Broken foot, a torn pec, multiple knee injuries, back issues. There was always something, and I’m sure he was continuously dealing with multiple ailments to try and continue playing the game. His body clearly had deteriorated to a degree that made football no longer a viable option, physically, and probably mentally. In my opinion, the signing bonus is supposed to protect players from future physical ailments limiting their availability on the field, that’s one of the reasons you want more guaranteed money upfront. So while I get that the team has a right to ask for money back, in the spirit of the agreement, I think it’s bullshit Frank is being asked to return money. This was clearly a player that the game had physically taken its toll on, and his body was clearly no longer holding up to the rigors of the NFL. It wasn’t just some player deciding he didn’t want to play anymore, it wasn’t that simple, and these signing bonuses are there to protect players from the inevitable injuries they incur on the field.
The #Lions made Frank Ragnow return part of his signing bonus after retiring early, continuing a franchise policy that dates back to Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson, per President Rod Wood, via @DaveBirkett: “Our precedent goes all the way back to Barry Sanders… And I think the reality is, they’re not paying back their money, they’re returning our money, because they were paid in advance for services that they hadn’t completed.” More here: freep.com/story/sports/nfl/l…

The story of Cristopher SĂĄnchez remains one of the most incredible ones in the recent history of Philadelphia sports. Was on his last life as a major-leaguer and became so good that one contract extension was not enough. The best story of this era of Phillies baseball IMO.

How unbreakable is Wilt's 100 points? Bam Adebayo only got 83% of the way there. 83% of Norm Van Brocklin's 554 passing yards is 460 yards. That's been done 86 times in the NFL.

Bro actually gave us a departing gift. True Eagle at heart 😭🤞🦅
LB Nakobe Dean was offered "similar deal" by the Cowboys but he went with his gut feeling and signed with the Raiders, per @SlaterNFL.

Correct. Bryce signing totally changed the culture here and it’s lead to the third most successful period in team history. I desperately hope Bryce wins it all here, but if he doesn’t, we’ll always have Bedlam at the Bank.
Ike says Bryce Harper doesn’t need to win a World Series for his signing to be considered a success. ⚾

Turns out most were, in fact, only mad because the Eagles were so good at it.
No team has offered a proposal to ban the Tush Push and there has been no recent discussion about changing the rule, Rich McKay told reporters today.
