What people have so easily forgotten is that the language banning the tush push was the best argument against banning it. If you think it is hard to enforce now, wait until you see the new rule.

Sadly, it was commissioned without talking the writer’s agent and apparently a deal’s a deal, so.

Excited to return to @theathletic.com as a Senior Writer. I'll continue covering the Eagles and the NFL.

The Athletic has the best collection of sports reporters in the business, and I’m eager to contribute to this team.

I see. So it will taste like I remember (which was Amoroso) but the average around town has just raised?

Red Sox players loved the intensity of the crowd in Philly and said it was like a playoff primer. Garrett Whitlock: "I love playing in Philly. The fans are really amazing. It's funny, the security guy threw a guy out because he was yelling at me. I almost turned around like, 'Hey, it's okay.'"

Also, I doubt they would have done the Browns thing; it would have been a St. Louis Rams situation.

What's really fun is that the Cardinals were still in the NFC East at that point, so they would have played the Phoenix Eagles twice a year.

I assume the J. is because the Philly accent pronounces it Jrexel?

The NBA and WNBA are now actively posting on Bluesky and I can't emphasize enough how important it is that we do everything possible to support these accounts, because how many followers they acquire and how much positive engagement they get will 100%, unequivocally determine how committed they are to this place AND how likely it is that other leagues & sports personalities could then come here too. These accounts aren't just big accounts, they're bridges to entire communities and the ripple effect of them succeeding here would be MASSIVE. If you want to stick a stake through Twitter's heart, this is how you do it - but remember, the NBA and WNBA don't *have* to be here and it's not a foregone conclusion this isn't anything more than a trial run. So yes, don't just follow these accounts: help promote them and positively interact w them too. Let's show them this place is worth investing in.

The #Eagles’ 2025 opponents voted 13-1 to ban the push. The other 17 teams voted 9-8.

Weird that the Eagles seem to only be playing the teams concerned with safety and pace of play this year.

I think the Eagles need to be petty and propose banning players from jumping into the stands. It's a safety hazard.

Apologies for a stupid question, but remind me what the state of play is? They were over the 2nd apron this year, and their future pick is frozen; if they do it again next year, another future pick is frozen and moved to the end of round 1?
