Choosing to let Jimmy Butler leave to keep Tobias/Simmons/Brett may go down as one of the biggest blunders in Philadelphia sports history

If Carson Wentz wants out to avoid being the scapegoat for an organization lead by an unqualified executive who sabotaged him at every turn with awful draft picks, then drafted his replacement in the 2nd round eight months after signing him to a long term deal, can you blame him?

Let’s be honest, Eagles fans. Winning a Super Bowl was always going to be special. Beating Tom Brady in perhaps his best statistical Super Bowl with a backup quarterback made the story an all timer in NFL history.

You know what’s disrespectful to the greater game? Encouraging an atmosphere where everyone in your locker room was taking PEDs and making the record book a joke. But hey, Bryce Harper said some words...

No matter what the Eagles get back for Wentz, remember this: the genius of a GM created this entire mess with a bad contract, a sabotaged draft pick to undermine the contract and made the organization look like fools.

We always say about how sports can lift a city. The Phillies and Eagles certainly don’t make the crime or economic issues go away. Nobody should say that. But if you were in South Philly tonight and saw strangers high-fiving and hugging for just a moment, you kind of get it.

When my dad was diagnosed with cancer in ‘14, Phil Martelli reached out & asked if there was anything he or

Because when you are basically eliminated, you have to bring the older, most broken down and expensive players back in order to prevent evaluation of younger receivers who may be useful next year
