Flyers 4th line never produced like this when Brian Boucher and Jody Shelley were on the ice together.

Ooh Virginia Democrats pushed a button that made Republicans mad. Good. Keep doing that. Hit them where it hurts.

Far be it for me to ever say anything nice about Dallas sports teams but these Dallas Stars uniforms are so good.

Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang have all been in the NHL longer than Porter Martone has been alive.

10). This doesn't mean or imply Schefter's wrong! He is a hell of a lot more reliable than Dianna "Aaron Rodgers will be a Viking" Russini ever was. But it does feel at least notable.

9). It's been over an hour and no Eagle reporter I have seen is corroborates this. Garofolo and Rapoport implicitly refuted Schefter's projections of certainty. Translation: Schefter's sources are not Howie/Eagles. Schefter was right at the trade deadline but he is kind of on an island now here.

7). Was it an effort issue or an early signs of decline issue last season with A.J. Brown? I always posited the latter but still worth keeping around for one more season.
8). When Howie spoke of handling WR depth differently this season....that sounded like a man intending to keep A.J. Brown.

5). Trading A.J. Brown would put a lot of faith in Hollywood Brown or Dontayvion Wicks as WR2 and that is a faith I do not share.
6). Carnell Tate is a WR2 and he ain't falling to the Eagles at 23, and no team is trading down from the top 15 to 23 in this draft.

Actual thoughts
1). Ain't no way Howie and the Eagles are the ones leaking this.
2). Schefter sure adds a lot of conditions on a trade he leads readers to believe is a done deal and matter of time
3). This is actually to pay the defense, not *gesticulates toward A.J.*
4). What's Howie's ransom?

There's so much negativity around right now Vrabel regarding silly things like "ethics." But a culture of homophobia is so deeply ingrained in American professional sports that I support a man willing to slut himself out to both men and women. I see you, Mike Vrabel, and I support you.

Adam Schefter: "The Patriots remain at the clear forefront of trade talks for AJ Brown, another team could always emerge, and there's a lot of time between now and June 1. But as of today, multiple sources believe Brown and the Patriots are likely to become a tandem."

I just want to say up front that I support Mike Vrabel as he continues his journey as the NFL's sluttiest bisexual

You may think "oh this will knock him down round or two because racist NFL execs." Au contraire! The knock on Branch is that he is nothing more than an undersized YAC guy whose primary usage is catching screens and returning kicks and punts. But this shows he is a willing blocker too!

This isn't much of an original take on anything but I am feeling really justified in never liking Nick Nurse and never wanting him to come in to coach the Sixers.

Brett Brown really was the best Sixers coach of the Embiid era.

They even spelled his name wrong on the police report

So Zachariah Branch encountered a racist cop. Got it.

The Sixers are actively offending Jay Bilas with their offensive incompetence today

Watching the Sixers play the Celtics in the playoffs and I feel specifically targeted by the caplyta ads.

Derek Barnett is currently a solid rotation piece on one of the best defensive lines in football. Not at all a bust like the other four listed here.

Also I am anticipating this post to have a 2026 Draft update in a few years on account of there not being 23 first round talents in this Draft.

It's very funny to me to see so many NFL franchises that went with a new and "modern" look the past decade or so reverting back to more retro style uniforms from the 80s and 90s with a more subtle modern touch. NFL fashion peaked in the late 80s and early 90s and I'll never be swayed from this take

Ugh it's been a decade since I last rewatched....Rollins?

I would just like to state that everything I am learning today about the influencer Clavicular is entirely against my will.

One small step for a woman, one giant leap for Go Birds

I don't think Eagles media has grappled enough with the fact that the primary source behind A.J. Brown trade speculation has now resigned due to an unethical relationship with the head coach of a team primarily "rumored" and "speculated" to be trading for A.J. Brown.

Dianna Russini will be dedicating the next several months of her life to documenting this experience in a book she plans to title "NFL Canto"

This is way too much time to be spent on thinking about Andre Dillard.

If I were a hockey player I would simply do everything imaginable to make sure I do not block a shot with my testicles.

Les Snead would surely laugh Howie off the phone even with Puka being a raging antisemite, and honestly, that's exactly why A.J. Brown won't get traded to the Rams.

Oh sure. I do not want that guy on the Eagles at all, but if I am Howie dealing A.J. Brown post June 1 to the Rams, the team favored to win the NFC with lots of resources, the demand from Howie needs to be Puka.

I like the Eagles WR room with Hollywood Brown and Dontayvion Wicks as WR 3/4 to DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown. I like it a lot less if Howie trades A.J. Brown, does not get Puka in return, and then asks one of Wicks/Hollywood/2026 Draft pick to be WR2 next to DeVonta.
