Am I the only one who thinks the Eagles deliberately hid the AJ Brown extension behind draft news coverage so nobody would ask why they need to pay two WR top dollar on top of their $51mil AAV QB?

Might still be a smart deal if they feared AJ would demand a trade without a new contract once JJ/CeeDee/Chase reset the market.


finally some good news for heels? the new panthers owner seems like one of the most easily trollable ppl on the planet:

https://defector.com/david-tepper-throws...

Matt Wohlfarth, owner of the apparently very popular Dilworth Neighborhood Grille in Charlotte, put a big sign out front of his grille, jokily calling on Tepper to "Please Let The Coach [and] GM Pick This Year." Tepper drove by, stopped into the Grille, and put on his best middle-school vice principal act, grilling (grilleing?) a Dilworth employee about the sign. He even removed the employee's Eagles hat before leaving after about 45 seconds.

Wohlfarth told the Charlotte Observer that Tepper was friendly, though he also said it wasn't the first time Tepper has stopped in to complain about a sign Wohlfarth has put up making fun of the Panthers owner. From the Observer:

Just after [the] season ended, in mid-January, Wohlfarth said he posted a message on his property—that is visible from East Morehead Street—“Meddling owners never win. Run from Jerry Jones.”

“And he was sorta pissed off about that one,” Wohlfarth said.
Why?
“Well, he’s a meddling owner,” Wohlfarth said.

but the bad news is that he sucks and you're probably stuck with him. sorry heals


lololololol - the boomers version of creating a twitter burner account is driving to a local restaurant to complain about their sign 😀


Tepper is the sorry heels of all sorry heels.

It’s never been more over.

Good lord! If I were the owner of that grille that confirmation would do nothing but intensify my sign trolling. What a dumbass owner.

Sorry heels.

indeed. with great power comes great responsibility (to troll this clown)


Goodell said the following on the Pat McAfee Show today:

"I think we're good at 17 now," Goodell said. "But, listen, we're looking at how we continue. I'm not a fan of the preseason." Then, gesturing toward a group of fans assembled nearby, Goodell said, "And I don't think these guys like it either." He continued: "The reality is, I'd rather replace a preseason game with a regular-season game any day. That's just picking quality. If we get to 18 and 2, that's not an unreasonable thing."

Translating from Goodell bullshit to regular English we get the following:

Pretty soon we'll add an 18th regular season game and scrap a preseason game. We're also extending the season by one week and play the SuperBowl on President's Day weekend.

Curious if that means a second bye week to make the added international travel easier. I expect every team to play at least one international game per season more often than not in the short term future.



they should play 1000 games per season iyam. who says no ?? free money


by ligastar k

Kind of blows my mind that they haven't already gone to two bye weeks. People have already shown that they'll watch games with almost any team in it, so another week of televised games can only be good.


They just have to make sure the new kickoff rules result in fewer injuries and higher scoring games.


I wouldn’t mind seeing them get rid of preseason games and add regular season games.

I think they probably just got it done due to the Amon-Ra deal, because as you said JJ/CeeDee/Chase will get it to $35m+ per. Don't think anyone is asking why they'd want two stud receivers to go along with their good QB for the next five years, seems like that's something every team would want.

I’d guess once they did Slim Reaper they knew they had to make AJ highest paid on the team

This is where I figure it is going. I'm cool with 18 as long as this happens. Otherwise just do 16 again. 17 is dumb.

yeah

the cold hard truth tho is it should be 16 games + 2 bye weeks (for the health of the players)

And I'm cool with that too. Two bye weeks should've been implemented yeas ago since it is way easier to consume any game you want to. Honestly think 16 was the perfect number as was 6 playoff teams instead of 7.

NFL has yet to realize less is more. You make every game a big deal and all week people are talking about it. There's a reason baseball becomes less and less relevant to the public.

Man, I really was hoping Tepper was actually pissed about this, but the video released by the restaurant tells a little bit of a different story. Still want him to become the ultimate villain though and keep throwing drinks on fans.
