Here’s the sideline confrontation, or whatever you want to call it, between Nick Sirianni and A.J. Brown:

Sirianni: *“I was trying to get him off the field because we were trying to punt. That was really it. I love A.J. I think he knows how I feel about him. I have a special relationship with him. We probably went through every emotion you can possibly have together. We’ve laughed together, we’ve cried together, we’ve yelled at each other. We’re both emotional. I was trying to get him off the field and that happens in this game. It happens in this...

A.J. Brown didn’t speak to reporters:

Probably for the best when taking our mental health into consideration, but it sure looks corny after you catch just three of your seven targets for 25 yards in a home playoff game. DeVonta Smith spoke to reporters. Always does. Brown, according to reporters, shook hands with some of his teammates before walking out the door.

There were two passes in the first half, one a deep shot that was tough for him to reel him, then a sideline go ball that hit him in the hands. Has A.J. Brown ever left his feet...

If the Eagles were going to do anything in the playoffs this season, we all knew it would be on the strength of their defense, and not the offense.

Unfortunately, neither unit played great in a 23 to 19 home loss to end the year.

It’s hard to put too much of the blame on Vic Fangio’s unit, which picked off Brock Purdy twice and limited the San Francisco running game, but the normally-stout secondary gave up some bad explosive plays on Sunday evening. They were burned early and burned late by a 49ers team missing key weapons offensively, and...

The Bills survived on Sunday with two tush pushes in a row:

It should not be lost on anybody that the tush push saved the Bills’ season. That’s after Sean McDermott cried about the play over the summer, then the Bills voted to ban, failed, and proceeded to run it anyway, more than any other team not named the Philadelphia Eagles .

So the blatant hypocrisy is one thing, then the fact that they needed it to save their bacon in Jacksonville is even better. You can’t write a more compelling script. The Chiefs were finally out of the way...

You remember the viral video clip from the Eagles tailgating lots a few years back? It was the guy who did the “two years varsity” line from Invincible. Turns out he had emergency brain surgery recently and there’s now a fundraiser to help with the resulting costs:

A few years ago, many of you may recognize Tom Trampe from a Philadelphia Eagles hype video that went viral — “2 Years, Varsity!” That same larger-than-life spirit is exactly what’s carrying him through the fight of his life right now.

Recently, Tom underwent emergency brain surgery that quite literally...

This is everywhere, and it’s real. It happened Saturday night in Hershey:

I like how the white goalie comes flying in to just clobber somebody while the blue goalie stands in net the entire time. White goalie actually has 3-4 moments in which he just plows somebody completely over, but the funniest part might be around 20 seconds, when a blue player hits a blue player and then the other kid punches his teammate. They weren’t even pausing to think about who they were hitting, they were just throwing hands. It’s was an all-out war!

Also funny is how the...

The prelims are over. The Eagles open their title defense Sunday in a Wild Card game against the visiting San Francisco 49ers. Kickoff is set for 4:30 pm, ET (FOX) at the Linc.

The Birds are trying to become the 10th NFL team to repeat as Super Bowl champion — and avoid becoming the fifth reigning champ to bow out in the Wild Card round the following season:

The Niners got their shit rocked after fans befouled the Rocky Statue a few years ago, and it seems as though they’ve learned their lesson because the big fan accounts are warding off their fellow jamokes:

Yes, stay away! That is our statue of a fake boxer, or at least one of the three Rocky statues out there right now. Apparently there are two at the art museum and then one at the airport? Something like that.

Someone made a good point in the comments the other day, Facebook I think. He noted that most of the San Francisco fans...

This is so outrageous that it has to be shared. There’s a conspiracy theory going around that the 49ers are the most-injured NFL team because an electrical facility next to their stadium and practice facility is weakening the collagen in their bodies:

This Peter Cowan guy wrote an entire Twitter thread on the topic. He notes that the Niners are top-five in adjusted games lost for 10 of the 11 seasons since moving to Levi’s Stadium in 2014. They’ve had more Achilles and patellar ruptures, more hamstring and calf tears, basically just outpacing every other team in a number of...

George Kittle has always been a real one:

“Every team that comes in there, they hate us equally, and I just appreciate that. It’s incredibly loud. They flip you off. They moon you on your bus ride in. But they do that to anybody; it doesn’t matter if you’re the Niners, doesn’t matter if you’re the Jacksonville Jaguars. It doesn’t matter. They just give you that no matter what, and I appreciate that because you can tell how much they love their team.

No doubt about it. This is very similar to what Maxx Crosby said last month, [when he...

Saw this on the timeline:

He’s talking about the WIP Afternoon show, which posted a Wednesday clip in which Spike Eskin called Dumas “a guy who has decided that glazing Jalen (Hurts) is more important than Eagles Insider of the Year.“ The “Insider of the Year” thing is an unserious running bit, for context, but Spike I guess is suggesting that Dumas is being a fanboy instead of a journalist. In the retort, Dumas talks about how sneaker and fashion culture is important to black Eagles fans. It’s not for “them,” he says, “them” being white media and fans. Then...

Quick pivot here to laugh at the Commanders, who fired both of their coordinators, Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr. –

“With the team struggling this year, it reached new heights and there were notable disagreements. Moreover, I have not gotten the impression Dan Quinn wanted to move on from his coordinators. The entire disconnect is one to watch as we head into 2026. ‘There’s a lot of shit going on there,’ a source said.”

Who’s running the show down there, Dan Snyder? Heyo!

Surely Adam Peters will go out and fix this by handing one-year contracts to a bunch...
