NFL on the verge of banning the ‘Tush Push’ - SB Nation
It appears as though detractors of the Philadelphia Eagles’ most unstoppable offensive weapon are going to get their wish. The possibility of banning the “Tush Push” has been on the table since the end of the NFL season, and now it’s drawing closer to a reality. A vote from NFL owners will come next week on whether or not to ban the controversial play, with Dianna Russini of The Athletic saying that there’s...

I need a series of AJ Brown teaching Jr. how to be great. I crack up every single time he tells him to say good bye to his mom:

“She gonna be there…for lunch and dinner.” The only reason I want kids is so I can troll them like this. Also, so I can make them do things that I don’t want to do like fetch a screwdriver and all I have to say is, “I’ll time you.”

Then again Jr. is getting a crash course in greatness for free. I wish my dad would’ve taught me this at...

You’ve probably seen the story of the Eagles Pep Band being let go by the team. Eyewitness News* reported it first, saying this, in part:

The Eagles Pep Band, which has been with the team for 28 seasons, is being “let go,” a member of the group told CBS News Philadelphia (sic) on Wednesday. A team source confirmed the news.

*An Eagles team source said that the on-field entertainment is “evolving.” The team thanked the Pep Band for their years of service with the organization. The Eagles didn’t provide any specifics in their plans for on-field entertainment...

The Birds are adding more offensive line depth.

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing free agent offensive lineman Matt Pryor, according to a report from the Inquirer’s Jeff McLane.

Pryor is returning to Philly after originally being selected by the Eagles with a sixth-round pick (No. 206 overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft. He made 10 starts in 27 games played with the Birds before he was traded (along with a 2022 seventh-round pick) to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2022 sixth-round pick (which was later included in the Eagles’ deal with the New Orleans Saints that ultimately landed Jalen Carter...

Philadelphia continues to do homework on OL prospects.

Time to add another prospect to BGN’s Philadelphia Eagles’ pre-draft visits tracker leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Birds will soon be hosting Ohio State offensive lineman Donovan Jackson at the NovaCare Complex, according to Tony Pauline.

Jackson is the No. 67 prospect ranked by Pro Football Focus and No. 31 ranked by Daniel Jeremiah.

He’s the sixth known player with tackle experience to have a pre-draft visit with the Eagles. But Jackson might play guard in the NFL.

Brandon Graham’s final, turbulent, triumphant football chapter - ESPN
Carlyne knew as soon as she saw Brandon on the field postgame that he had retorn his triceps. (Graham does not know when in the game he retore his triceps.) Her friends and family at home that saw her on television told her to focus and enjoy the moment, but she was busy worrying and texting his physical therapist and his doctor. “I can see it and it looked exactly how it looked when he [tore...

A look at how Philadelphia spends their resources.

The Philadelphia Eagles are fresh off a Super Bowl victory and looking to run it back in 2025. There’s no arguing with the on-field results: the Eagles have managed to be one of the most consistent contenders in the NFL under head coach Nick Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman. Since 2021, the Eagles have four-straight playoff appearances, two NFC East titles, six playoff wins, two Super Bowl appearances, and that massive Super Bowl win in February.

That level of sustained success has made Philadelphia a model franchise in the NFL, with...

The BGN Community Mock Draft is back for another year! The actual 2025 NFL Draft start date, April 24, is four weeks away, so we’re just about ready to begin. Please make sure to check out the rules below.

In 2024, BGN member Philly21 finished as champion with a 91.14% approval rating by having the Titans take Joe Alt. As the winner, they will own the rightful claim to their choice of the Philadelphia Eagles’ first-round pick at No. 32 (Birds won Super Bowl LIX).

Who will be the winner this year?! It’s anyone’s guess, but...

The LA Angels released Mickey Moniak on Tuesday:

The Los Angeles Angels are releasing outfielder Mickey Moniak, sources tell ESPN. They owe him $333,333 — one-sixth of the $2 million salary he won in an arbitration hearing over the winter. Similar situation to J.D. Davis’ last spring. Arb settlements are guaranteed. Not cases.

Moniak was the #1 overall selection in the 2016 MLB Draft. He had a decent 2023 with the Angels but regressed in 2024 and here we are. At 26 years old, maybe someone can take a flier...

Apparently the rule banning the Tush Push might have trouble getting the 24 votes it needs next week:

It’s unclear whether the Packers’ proposed ban of the tush push will get the 24 votes among the 32 NFL owners necessary to be approved, source says: “Not sure it can get 24.” The sentiment is mixed on the NFL competition committee about the proposal. The owners meet next week.

Suck it, Packers.

Here’s what I don’t understand:

The Eagles are the best team in the league at running the Tush Push. They...

Packers’ “tush push” proposal gets “mixed” reaction from Competition Committee - PFT
The Packers have proposed a rule change that would attack the so-called “tush push.” With the annual league meetings only days away, it’s looking like there’s not nearly enough of a push to get 24 total owners to vote for the proposal. On Tuesday, Mark Maske of the Washington Post posted this on Twitter: “It’s unclear whether the Packers’ proposed ban of the tush push will get the 24 votes among the 32...

Wilson is 36 now, a Pro Bowl replacement in 2024. The Steelers started 10-3, then lost to the Eagles to kick off a five-game skid that ended with a playoff loss against the division rival Baltimore Ravens. Russ ended up playing 11 regular season games and threw for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns, and...
