OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): When You're Up, It's Never As Good As It Seems, And When You're Down, You Never Think You'll Be Up Again

[Cody Webster]

Go Mouse Go!

When's ESPN's contact up, cause there won't be another football game on their network after that

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Go Mouse Go!

How many thousands of years of human existence, and people still don't get that the cover up makes it worse.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Go Mouse Go!

Yep. All they had to do was roll with the timeline and info the broadcast was saying, and say that they adapted as the situation unfolded. They chose the wrong path, as usual.

The Hotness Scale of NFL coaches is going to take a major hit this offseason.

This is about Lovie Smith's beard, isn't it?

 

[philly_28]

"The shock waves started last Monday, exacerbated by Vincent’s decision to characterize any suggestion of resuming play as “insensitive” and “ridiculous,” when it would have been perfectly reasonable to explain that the league has a standard protocol that initially was going to be deployed, until it became obvious that the situation called for a different approach."

How to create a PR disaster out of thin air... EVERYBODY would have understood this, but noooo, better be lying through their teeth.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Go Mouse Go!

It was so obvious that they wanted to play the game still...so ridiculous to bother lying about it. Troy Vincent really botched it.

So easy to avoid this mess, but of course they botched it...

Presale for Divisional Round is in four minutes for those that may be interested.

Roquain keeping that agent fee for himself.

Nice.

That's Eagles legend Troy Vincent

I also believe that this means that we will see a tag and probably a trade as well with Lamar this offseason.
Hard to imagine dishing out a contract like that to a linebacker if you plan on spending 50m+ fully guaranteed / year on Lamar for the next few years.

I wonder what the Ravens will do at QB once they trade Lamar.
Now we only need Rodgers and Brady to retire and half of the league will have openings at QB desperately trying to fill them.

 

[trostol]

Bucs are gonna be bad when Brady walks away..no legit backup or QB of the future ...they have to be looking this year..dont know if they can get one late first or in the 2nd

What did the tweet say?

He's been hanging around with too many Execs. It has changed him.

I've always found it really strange that someone who was head of the NFLPA becomes a top exec with the NFL.

 

[swami24]

Went to my High school.. wellllll after me, and lived about 2 mi away while he played for the Eagles. Ran some great charities in Trenton, and finally met him as I worked at one event.

Call me old fashioned but Geno Smith winning the Comeback Player of the Year after coming back from…*checks notes*… sucking. Just doesn’t sit right.

Should be Graham AINEC. Double digit sacks in his age 34 season coming off an Achilles tear is unreal.

My Dad dabbled a little bit in local politics and he told me he knew quite a few really nice guys who got elected to State seats, went to Harrisburg for a few months, and came back total assholes.

So what are the odds that Lamar just doesn't want to play and risk not getting the bag?

He'll get paid by someone regardless but you are probably right.
