The Mormon Missile showed out tonight for everyone. The NFL teams that need a QB, Eagles fans knowing we have a legit #2, and Madden who needs to update his rating immediately:

20/25, 252 yards, 3 total TDs, and a 135.3 rating. Two touchdown drives of nine and 10 plays. Who was the nerd in charge of giving Tanner McKee a rating of 61? That guy knows zero ball. I mean no disrespect to the hometown legend Kyle McCord, but he hasn’t even played a snap yet and he’s got a higher rating than a veteran. Did the Dallas...

The Philadelphia Eagles may have found another superstar.

Jihaad Campbell hasn’t been there long, but the first-round pick from the 2025 NFL Draft has already made a name for himself.

The linebacker has turned heads with his physical play and aggressiveness, and given his positional versatility and athleticism, Saquon Barkley sees plenty of Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons in him.

“He’s kind of built like Micah a little bit,” Barkley said, via NBC Sports Philadelphia. “I’ve known Micah for a long time. So I feel like as he grows and learns the game a little bit more, you’re going...

BYOS – Bring Your Own Salts! That’s what the NFL is telling players now after it was originally reported that smelling salts were banned:

Players will have to get high on their own supply.

I love that the NFL probably has some comms person on retainer making millions a year that had to draft up a memo to teams that they weren’t banning smelling salts after every football player and football fan complained. The public backlash was obviously too much for the NFL, because the memo they sent to players on Tuesday was pretty straightforward and was even [reported by...

The Eagles just won the Super Bowl. They played longer than any other team besides the Kansas City Chiefs last year. That’s 21 games of football. They then put their bodies through hell at the Super Bowl parade. I know everyone wants to see good football and Vic Fangio hopes his starting defense plays, but cover those dudes in bubble wrap and keep them fresh for the season. It feels like we’re wading into the Week 18 waters of “should Saquon Barkley go for the rushing record or rest?” I get it, we want immediate gratification, but you have to...

Sports media news:

PHLY did a live Eagles podcast Wednesday night at the Hard Rock Cafe, reclaiming the hallowed ground from the nefarious clutches of Tailgate Ted and assorted Commie sympathizers. They hinted at Berman’s departure several times, and there’s been related buzz about both guys on the various Eagles podcasts out there. The old smoke and fire bit, though Zach himself hasn’t tweeted anything. Sources tell Crossing Broad he’s staying on the Eagles beat and rejoining The Athletic two years after first departing for PHLY, while I would assume EJ then takes his spot at PHLY. Not 100% sure...

Shout out to big Dave for bringing this to our attention:

Sure enough, there are seven listings on StubHub as of 3 p.m., Wednesday, and three listings at Vivid Seats. There is one listing at TickPick and Ticketmaster lists the event as “sold out.” Not a ton of sellers, but they’re out there.

On one hand, if you bought the tickets, they’re yours, and you can do with them what you will. On the other hand, these are $10 tickets with a charity component, and some are $40 with a VIP on-field experience. All of the proceeds for both ticket...

I’ve seen this post at least 25 times in the last week, as every Philadelphia Eagles Facebook fan page, real or fake, American or Chinese, shares it for the cheapest of clicks:

Not sure what’s more offensive here, the fact that artificial intelligence or rogue photoshopper places Franklin Mills in the heart of Philadelphia, or that it looks like a mashup of MetLife and the old Georgia Dome (RIP). The bubble roof looks like Penn’s indoor practice facility and it was created with the flayed skin of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Anyway, there’s a “full article” that goes to...

Jerry Jones you are the gift that keeps on giving! The MVP for the last 30 years of the Philadelphia Eagles. He has no idea if Micah Parsons will play Week 1 even though he’s in complete control of when Micah Parsons will play. It turns out they haven’t even talked since Parsons requested a trade last week, according to Todd Archer at ESPN.com:

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is not confident Pro Bowl edge rusher Micah Parsons will be available for the Sept. 4 season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

“No, absolutely not,”...

Sports media news:

Expected, but now official for 2025.

Kaney took over WIP’s sideline gig after Howard Eskin, the Burger King, left the station to conclude the Aramark employee saga. Howard was suspended from Citizens Bank Park for allegedly trying to kiss a female worker, then wound up leaving WIP entirely a few months later. You know the story.

The Birds are actually undefeated since Kaney stepped in to fill Howard’s fur coat. They’re 6-0, including two regular season wins and four more on the road to Super Bowl victory. So you gotta keep a good thing going. This is...

The Philadelphia Eagles are the team to beat in the NFL.

However, if history has taught us anything, it is that perception doesn’t win football games.

That’s why A.J. Brown knows his team is back at square one this season.

Asked about the Vince Lombardi Trophy, the defending Super Bowl champion had a candid response.

“She’s not loyal,” Brown said, via B/R Gridiron and SiriusXM NFL.

It isn't yours, it's just your turn.

A 9 p.m. Monday night trade in August:

Booker was a depth tackle who flashed in some limited opportunities last season, but he was not going to play a ton of snaps in 2025. He was the fifth DT in the rotation behind Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, and Moro Ojomo, and the Birds obviously feel good returning three of those four players.

Now, to Jakorian Bennett, who played 461 snaps for a 4-13 Raiders team last year. Hadn’t heard of the guy until 12 hours ago, and neither did most Eagles fans, judging by the reactions online. He’s...

The Sideline Eagles Twitter account shared some photos of the 2025 Eagles New Era hats from the Birds’ website:

There are a few more available, a couple of flat brim split-panel hats with the little mesh holes on the crown. Two other gray hats as well.

The biggest travesty is the price tag here. $50 for a hat? For that price, you could get two bottles of water at Lincoln Financial Field!

One Crossing Broad staffer says he hates the logo, which New Era describes as a “heat-sealed rubberized team patch.” It does stick out a bit from the hat...
