Great column as always. But you don’t even mention the reversal of the fumble in the first quarter. It cost three points and possession of the ball near midfield.

Sixty percent of the Eagles losses since the 2023-4 playoffs have been refereed by the SAME CREW. They’re 22-5 in that span, but 2-3 with those referees.

They’re the NFL’s coolers.

I don’t think the refs hate the Eagles. I think Goodell is mad the Eagles spend more, and wants the popular NFC EasT teams to be competitive as long as possible

You forgot the time Coop forced a fumble, and they overturned it to call it an incomplete pass.

Sad to say,, I don’t think it’s really the push play that bothers the league. It’s that Lurie and Roseman are getting around the salary cap.

Counterpoint: yes, I am allowed to complain. And complain I shall!!!

I love your sportsmanship, Les, but that refereeing is gonna drive me into the NFL-version of Q-Anon.

It’s all so zurdiculous.

The line is injured, which is fucking the running game. AJ is not getting separation because he’s recovering from an hamstring. Hurts missed a few passes after he got hit on the head. Oh, and they’ve played an evil schedule.

And yet they’re 4-0. People need to STFO.

Yay Kendra!!!! Congratulations!!!

The New Deal Masterpieces Threatened by Trump’s D.C. Downsizing Your great-grandparents paid Ben Shahn and Philip Guston to create gorgeous public murals. Next year they could be rubble.

This weekend is a good time to catch up on my stories about Trump’s imminent sale and likely destruction of a 1940 government building that one expert calls “the Sistine Chapel of New Deal art.”

I didn’t mean to miss the forest for the trees. Just being a pedant.

O.k. Millennial… 🤷‍♂️

I think you mean VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet software that Lotus 1-2-3 and Microsoft Excel copied and eventually superseded. 😜

Now, that’s a man who understands the importance of discipline and the body.

Good lord! That story contains just about everything I find disturbing about contemporary culture, technology, and young men.

New slogan:

Ciattarelli! Not a murdering stalker, but #1 with murdering stalkers!

Congratulations!!!

I really feel you should enjoy the success of the Eagles and Phillies rather than wallowing in Negadelphianism.

Perhaps getting a good night sleep for years is something valuable enough to justify an increased risk of getting dementia.

Harry Enten: "Who do Americans blame more for the shutdown? They blame Republicans. The New York Times -- by 7 points they blame Republicans. Marist -- blame Trump and Republicans by 12 points. How about Washington Post? By a 17 point margin."

Don’t worry. I’m sure Jake and Alex are on this beat!

Same with the Ravens earlier in the season. They lost a game because they had three plays to get one yard with the greatest running QB ever, and they refused to use the push play.

Trump is racing against time The president's approval rating is closer to Nicolás Maduro's than Vladimir Putin’s

I think it is notable that Trump's approval rating is basically the same as Erdogan's in Turkey, a country that experienced like 500% inflation over the last 4 years. Also lower than the human version of Wario, Viktor Orbán's www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-is-r...

Not to be a nut, but I’ve always suspected the studies and articles scaring people about a very small increased risk of dementia were funded by companies waiting to sell on patent products for allergies and sleep.

I guessed this, but why? Refused to drop back into coverage?

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

I haven’t seen hardcore like this since that Vanilla Ice video back in the 1980s!!!

My fellow Negadelphia fans cannot accept regression to the mean (that is, more injuries).

SOMEONE MUST BE TO BLAME!!!!
