Welcome to another edition of the weekend bets column. Is this a recurring post? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on what my win/loss record ends up being.

We had kind of a whack experience last weekend, breaking even after Temple failed to cover and the Union got abused in Vancouver. We cashed Jalen Hurts anytime touchdown scorer and three overs between the Phillies and Royals, then hit the Backyard Brawl under despite WVU pulling the overtime upset. It was a little bit of a bad beat in that game since Pitt lost their best player, Desmond Reid, to a first-quarter...

See if you can spot what’s wrong with this tweet:

Hmm.. Now that’s curious. 6-0 in their last six road games? And they haven’t allowed a rushing touchdown in any of those games? Great stat, but it seems like there’s a game that they forgot about.

Could…

Could it be…

Oh right, it’s this one –

Easy to gloss over the 2025 Divisional Round, of course. It’s not like that was a memorable game at all, you know, with the snow coming down and Jalen Carter making a huge stop to put the Eagles into the NFC Championship Game. The...

The Eagles currently sit 31st in the National Football League in passing yards. Through two games, Jalen Hurts has thrown for 253 and zero touchdowns.

Those two games resulted in two wins. You know, the stat that 10 years ago everybody thought was the most important stat in sports.

Do you know which team through two weeks leads the league in passing yards? That’s the New York Giants, with 579. Russell Wilson MVP szn? Not likely when the Giants are 0-2.

How can that be? Do you think those talking heads and fans can wrap their head around the team...

The Tush Push is under siege from salty Chiefs fans and petty media members who hate the Philadelphia Eagles. People like Joe Schad and the disappointing Stan Verrett.

They say the Birds false start “every time” on the play, but conveniently remain silent when the defense lines up in the neutral zone. They say it’s not “a football play,” but apparently a regular quarterback sneak is. They say it ruins the pace of play, or that it’s not entertaining, but have no problem with a quarterback spiking the ball to stop the clock. They say it’s a health and safety...

This is badass! –

Oh hell yeah. This is the future of the sports complex. It’s exactly what the Eagles should do with their lease expiring in about a half-decade. They should renew that lease, put a huge mountain where Jetro is, and then build a retractable Eagle feather canopy that covers the field. What a fucking spectacle! Then the Birds come out and run it right down the other team’s throat. The intimidation factor would be off the charts.

We’ll call it:

“The Aerie”

Not the American Eagle spinoff store at the mall, but the large nest of a...

The Philadelphia Eagles have won their two games this season.

Their defense has been outstanding, and their running game continues to be as efficient as ever.

The passing game, however, has left plenty to be desired, and quarterback Jalen Hurts is taking the blame.

“I take a lot of accountability for a lot of it, and just how we go out there because that’s my job. My job is to go out there and be the general, orchestrate everything, and ultimately make plays. Given the opportunities that we had, I’m very critical of myself, trying to make the most...

This might be the worst TikTok I’ve ever seen:

@lancebachmann Take the jersey off. They don’t know your name. You’re in the office repping millionaires who wouldn’t show up to your funeral. They don’t pay your bills. They don’t feed your kids. But you’re proudly wearing their brand? Not in my company. We wear what we built. We rep the logos that pay us. Full episode from my podcast with @Tommy Mello.

You ever see someone’s will be broken in two? Well you have now. Chris Jones sounded like a broken and defeated man on Sunday. Cause? The Tush Push:

I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time defending the Tush Push over the last four days and every argument against it is dumber than the last one. I’ve seen things like it’s an illegal formation (it’s not), the Eagles only win because of the Tush Push (they don’t), and that it’s a rugby play (renowned rugby player Jordan Mailata disagrees). How do you watch that video above of Jones losing his mind...

Bradley Cooper had his priorities straight while heading into a Vogue Magazine event with his girlfriend Gigi Hadid. Thank the technocrats for inventing devices that allow us to watch football from anywhere now:

There’s not much worse than having plans while your favorite football team is playing. You think Coop kept the game rolling during the event? He had to, right? It’s the Super Bowl rematch. You can see in the one photo the shot of DeVonta Smith injured, so we’re talking still 11 minutes in the third quarter at this point. It was 10-10! There’s still so much that...

This was good to hear from Vic Fangio midweek:

Q. It’s been a trend going back to last year that’s continued this year in terms of improvement in the second half (of) games. What goes into halftime adjustments or in-game adjustments that allows your defense to do that? (Zach Berman)

Vic Fangio: Halftime adjustments are way overblown. Half time is 12 minutes long, takes me a few minutes to get down, takes me a few minutes to get back up. You need to be adjusting all throughout the game. If our offense has a good drive, there...

The Philadelphia Eagles‘ offense has been a talking point in their two wins, and rightfully so.

It seems like they have so much untapped potential, and new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo hasn’t made the most of it.

However, that’s not the case with the defense under coordinator Vic Fangio.

Though cornerback Adoree’ Jackson struggled early, the rest of the unit has been lights out in the first two games.

“The Eagles defense has given up just 7 points in the second half in the 2 wins. And they are allowing the second lowest opponents passer rating in the NFL....

While A.J. Brown hasn’t been heavily involved in the passing game this season, the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver is still one of the best players in the NFL.

As such, he is an authorized voice to talk about the best cornerbacks in the game.

Asked about that, he couldn’t come up with five players, but did tip his hat to four stars at the position.

“My No. 1 corner in the league right now is [Patrick Surtain II]. I’m excited for that matchup. I have to go Jalen Ramsey, still considered one of the best in this league. I...
