Adam Schefter Getting Testy with John Kincade is a Result of the Whitewashing Problem Created by the Tush Push

Adam Schefter Getting Testy with John Kincade is a Result of the Whitewashing Problem Created by the Tush Push

Adam Schefter ruffled some feathers when he went on Get Up the other day and proclaimed that the Eagles/Chiefs game was lost in March. It was a half-minute take about the Tush Push, which ended up being the big talking point after the 20-17 road win. Here’s that clip, followed by John Kincade calling Schefter on it Wednesday morning:

First of all, kudos to John for going there with Schefty. The comments were relatively harmless in the grand scheme of things, but offensive at the same time for the reasons Kincade lists. Schefter’s gum flapping made it seem like the...

NFL Executive Reveals Why Jalen Hurts Is ‘Underrated’

NFL Executive Reveals Why Jalen Hurts Is ‘Underrated’

The Philadelphia Eagles are 2-0 to start the season.

It hasn’t been easy or pretty, but the defending Super Bowl champions have gotten the job done.

That’s why quarterback Jalen Hurts doesn’t care about his numbers or his highlights.

Confronted about his less-than-impressive stat line in the Week 2 win against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Bowl MVP pointed out that all that mattered was getting the win.

That team-first and competitive mindset is why an unnamed NFL executive recently gushed about Hurts’ leadership and personality.

“He is a killer,” the executive told The Athletic. “His toughness and...

No One Likes the Tush Push, We Shouldn’t Care

No One Likes the Tush Push, We Shouldn’t Care

On Monday morning’s episode of Get Up!, ESPN’s roundtable discussion show that regularly features reporters and analysts across the network, Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter took his seat and proceeded to diagnose the reason the Eagles were able to secure an impressive, if ugly, road win in Kansas City in Week 2 of this young NFL season:

“This game was lost in March,” Schefter declared. “This game was lost when the NFL owners refused to ban the Tush Push from happening. It wasn’t lost yesterday. It was lost in March. And there might be a lot of games that the...

Tom Brady Meeting with Raiders Opponents is a Bigger Issue Than the Tush Push

Tom Brady Meeting with Raiders Opponents is a Bigger Issue Than the Tush Push

Tom Brady is the co-owner of the Raiders, but also does color commentary on FOX. So he meets with teams for his job. Players, coaches, execs etc. This season the NFL loosened up the restrictions during production meetings so he can do his job more efficiently. He’s allowed to meet remotely with players and coaches but won’t be allowed to attend team practices. That’s still too much now that we know how involved he is:

Brady lowering the seat after realizing he’s on TV is amazing. Nothing to see here!

That’s bullshit. In a world where we’re bitching and moaning...

Jalen Hurts Sends Message About Massive Win Against Chiefs

Jalen Hurts Sends Message About Massive Win Against Chiefs

The Philadelphia Eagles are still undefeated.

Nick Sirianni’s team kept its foot on the gas, and while it wasn’t pretty, it got the job done.

That’s why Jalen Hurts couldn’t care less about his underwhelming stats.

Following the narrow win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Oklahoma product had an interesting choice of words:

“The game isn’t won off of fireworks. It’s won off scoring more points than the other team,” Hurts said.

It’s Carson Wentz Time

It’s Carson Wentz Time

Oh baby! –

Carson Wentz vs. Jake Browning in Week 3? Absolutely sickening. I love it!

Please let Carson come out slinging the rock in Minnesota. There needs to be a play action bomb to Justin Jefferson on the game’s first play, like Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens in that one preseason game. Just let the man air it out and let’s have some fun.

Wentz played in a throwaway game with the Chiefs last year, tossing the ball to second stringers, but looked pretty good when he was filling in for Matt Stafford two years ago in LA. That...

The Eagles Now Have an All-Time Winning Record

The Eagles Now Have an All-Time Winning Record

The Eagles are now 640-639-27 in the franchise’s lifetime. Two Super Bowl titles, nine NFC Championship game appearances, and 15 NFC East titles is pretty good for an average franchise:

The 2000s have done the heavy lifting of course. We sit 244-160-2 since the turn of the century. The winning percentage by decade though is neck and neck. The Andy Reid era had a .647 winning percentage. Halfway through the 2020s, the Birds sit with a .634 winning percentage under Nick Siriani and one four-win season with Doug Pederson. The Eagles of the 2000s had to claw out of...

Vic Fangio and Steve Spagnuolo Were Having a Blitz-Off in Kansas City

Let’s get it back to the Eagles’ win over the Chiefs with some stats:

RE: the first tweet, you figured that Jalen would eventually connect on one of those jump balls if Spags was going to keep sending the house. The big completion to DeVonta Smith was the catalyst for reaching the goal line and tush pushing for the game-winning TD.

On the Eagles’ side, you know that Vic Fangio never blitzes. The Birds had the NFL’s second-lowest blitz rate in 2024, sending five or more bodies on only 18% of drop backs. Only the Jag-wires blitzed at a lower...

That little laugh was his tell that he knew he was about to cook. How long do you think he had that one in the chamber? There’s no chance that was right off the dome as much as I want to believe it was. You think he started developing it after that huge play that got the Eagles in the redzone? Had to be. You don’t...

President Trump Says NFL’s Dynamic Kickoff Amounts to “Sissy” Football

The leader of the free world checking in:

“‘Sissy’ football is bad for America, and bad for the NFL!”

And yet – the ratings are sky high and the sport has never been more popular. Maybe we don’t get the Devin Hester highlights of yesteryear, but those were few and far between by the time the new rule was instituted.

FWIW, the NFL reported back in January that it felt like the change was successful because of a significant reduction in head injuries:

The new Dynamic Kickoff rule worked as intended. Returns increased 57% in the regular season and...

The Latest Pathetic Excuse for Banning the Tush Push is that the Refs Aren’t Officiating it Properly

The Latest Pathetic Excuse for Banning the Tush Push is that the Refs Aren’t Officiating it Properly

Predictable, but sad:

It’s going to be exhausting. This week, people will try to convince you that the tush push should be banned because the best refs in all of football can’t do their jobs properly. Not because it’s a dangerous play, mind you. No. Not because of “pace of play.” The new argument for banning the tush push is that the referees can’t officiate it properly, therefore it should just go away.

What’s particularly funny about this pitiful take is that most of the infractions are happening before the snap. You can talk all you want about the difficulty...

We Had Some Vintage Merrill Reese Calls During the Eagles’ Win Over the Chiefs

While it wasn’t the dominating performance akin to seven months ago in Super Bowl LIX, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, again, Sunday afternoon by a score of 20-17.

The Eagles were up 20-10 and in pretty firm control of the game before a late Chiefs score, much like the late points back in February, cut it a little too close. But, not to worry, because all Jalen Hurts does is win football games.

Merrill Reese and Mike Quick were once again on the call for SportsRadio 94WIP, and gave us some vintage Merrill and Mike:
