Crossing Broad
It’s a beautiful day to vote! This morning my head popped up off my pillow around 7:30am. The polls had already opened. I quickly picked the boogers out of the corner of my eye, threw some water in my hair, tied my shoelaces tight, and I headed to the polls. Because this is one of the most important votes in our country’s history. We can decide not only the future of this country, but the future of this city with the press of a button. Isn’t that kind of sick to live in a country where your vote means something? That’s why I’m not afraid to share who I voted for this morning. Our readers spend a lot of time reading, watching, following, and listening to us and I feel like it’s my duty and in my best interest to let you know how I voted.

He’s beaten Andy Reid, Matt LaFleur, Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, and Bill Belichick. Coaches that people think are head and shoulders above him.
Now is he perfect? Absolutely not. He’s not even-tempered, sometimes he incites violence and hateful rhetoric towards even his own supporters. He’s not the greatest role model nor all the time is he mentally sharp. But he’s somewhat relatable, doesn’t have traditional ideas, and most importantly he wins. God this guy wins. He’s done so much winning in four years I’ve almost gotten sick of winning. The players seem to like him and he’s only once had the same cabinet members from the year before and that year they went to the Super Bowl. You can say this is Howie’s team and it’s Howie’s coordinator hires, but it would be tone deaf to think Howie didn’t have some input in the two (three) last season. Nick’s a good a coach whether you want to believe it or not and if the Eagles get rid of him this year he won’t be out of work for long. If he could just clean up the decision-making a...
