Maybe they can cheat the rules about tampering and move up to take another Jaylen Carter. Teams don't settle tampering, the NFL does and they DON'T reward the offended team. Philly needs to cough up a pick for the value of the move up. Total BS.
Enchilada elitist! My man
ordered MANDO using your code… guess I’m a legit Middlekauf fan now

Is there any Middlekauf merch? his hat game is on point id buy one I know it would be quality
When Dom wasn't around, they lost six straight plus the playoff game. 😜😜😜
If we can get Miles Garrett we will not need Zach Baun i would put him in a package with a #1 pick for miles Garrett. He would be that good for us.
And Tennessee got the one overall seed and you haven't heard of them since. They were serve and sit; one and fine. Please…..Vrabel, he's fine nothing and everyone puts him on My. Rushmore. Great player horrible coach, stop propping him up like he's to one something
Love is young, give the kid a chance
Pumping out them golden nuggets! Get that money sir! Must be an awesome feeling! Keep on pushing!
Having Dom on the staff will continue to allow the Eagles to thrive. Obviously, Howie and Lurie make this engine go, but Dom is the oil in this car. Glad to hear how much of a good guy he was to you!
Howie deserves it.
Jack Easterby –Pats /Texans guy
Lol I didn't even think that Deebo/Zion comment was all that funny — but watching John crack tf up made me crack up. Nice to see a glimpse of more John's actual personality show
I hate the Eagles but Big Dom is Sirriani’s right hand and I was glad when they banned him from the sideline that year because the team fell apart. He is a prime example of do what needs to be done for the team to succeed and that makes him irreplaceable.
Big Dom is the same guy as the Diabeetus Guy in that movie THE FIRM…. he solves problems
GAMBLING IS A TAX ON THE POOR …. THE ODDS ARE WAY STACKED AGAINST THE BETTOR…. IF YOU WIN THEY CUT YOU OFF
THIS GUY IS PIMPING GAMBLING AND AS SUCH IS PART OF THE PROIBLEM
Kwesi’s 2022 draft was abysmal, no arguing that.
He’s also got Addison, moved up for JJ and Dallas, and he has dominated the UDFA market getting all the top priority guys (some of which have actually played or started)
He’s not Howie, but he’s been improving each year
Caleb Williams had a total crap coach and shite O-line. He should have had 3 more wins if not for total head coach farts in critical situations. I think he’ll be as good or better than Daniels in the long run 🏈✌️
O line, RB, TE. Run the ball, PLAY ACTION PASS.
This is how the NFL has been played for its entirety.
There has been air raid offenses wayyy back in the old days, it isn’t a new thing.
The tried and true history is there: Tom Brady was created with a legendary defense, great o line, AND COREY DILLON
Typical south philly Italian dom😂. I gotta guy
The Eagles will be the first NFL team to 3 Peat! You heard it here first! Go Birds! 🦅
John you slowly taking over my top 5 fav people to listen to
Apologizing in advance for this incredibly long comment, so don’t judge or complain about it cuz I’m not making anyone read it…I just need to get this off of my chest- I am so SICK & TIRED of you Eagles fans bragging saying that you “destroyed” the Chiefs and that it was “Belt to ass”…Because it really wasn’t….
That Super Bowl was RIGGED for the Eagles to win…Literally EVERYONE knows it. The Refs missed sooo many penalties and didn’t throw enough flags on the Eagles in general. That in turn gave the Eagles momentum, and killed any momentum that the Chiefs were gaining. It’s unfortunate because I feel like everyone just wanted a fairly officiated Super Bowl, and they couldn’t even give us that. In my eyes, the Chiefs still won that game and they still made history by accomplishing the 3-peat.
Anyone who watched the AFC playoff games KNOWS that this Super Bowl wasn’t officiated NEARLY as fairly as those games. Here are just a FEW of the many missed calls that changed the outcome of the Super Bowl:
– All of the offsides on the Eagles DLine practically every time they sacked Mahomes.
– All of the illegal hits on Mahomes: a bunch of times Mahomes got sacked, there was more than 1 Eagles player tackling/sacking him, and as a result, their helmets would collide with Mahomes’ helmet and that’s an ILLEGAL HIT, AND IT’S SO UNFAIR CUZ IT HAPPENED OVER & OVER AGAIN!
– All of the offensive holdings they didn’t call on the Eagles OLine, which is why Hurts barely got touched in the backfield…There’s just no other explanation and everyone knows it.
– The illegal screen that was the only reason AJ Brown got open and scored on that TD play.
– The offensive pass interference that they didn’t call on DeVonta Smith on his TD play. If you search for it, you’ll find the video with the camera angle that shows Smith CLEARLY pushing off which was the only reason he got open…
– Etc. Etc. cuz there were sooo many more No Calls.
Take away the AJ Brown & DeVonta Smith TDs since everyone knows those were offensive penalties that they didn’t call, and that’s 14 points that should have been taken off the scoreboard. So if you take away those points and factor in ALL of the additional yardage that the Chiefs should have gotten off of all of those^ penalties that they didn’t call that I mentioned above ON TOP OF all of the other penalties that they didn’t call on the Eagles….Then the Chiefs would have won that game. Sorry but not sorry Eagles fans for telling all of you what you already know deep down but refuse to admit- you just got lucky against a team who was clearly better than you. The funniest thing about this though is just HOW BIG the asterisk is next to this Super Bowl “win” of yours (if you can even call it a win😂), and how Mahomes doesn’t have a SINGLE asterisk next to any of his Super Bowl wins. Regardless of what the haters will say (E.g. the teams who lost to the Chiefs this past year in the playoffs), Mahomes also doesn’t have any asterisks’ next to ANY of his Playoff wins…I know it feels good, but you’ll all get sucked back into reality next season I can guarantee you that….But in the meantime, SICK FAKE SUPER BOWL WIN!!!
John is the hero or the working man. Always dropping pods during the week. Makes these shifts easier
We re-signed Zack Baun!!!
