  • Eagles vs. Cowboys to Start the Season

    Eagles vs. Cowboys to Start the Season

    The defending Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles will face their favorite NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys at home to start the NFL regular season opener. It will be competitive as the likes of Jihaad Campell and Micah Parsons will suit up and go to work for the first time in 2025.

    Dak Prescott returns from a 2024 week 9 hamstring injury in hopes of collecting his 10th win over the Eagles. Prescott has been mostly successful with a ratio of four losses and might bounce back considering he now plays with George Pickens and Cedee Lamb.

    Lamb, in my honest opinion, was never a reliable No.1 so to bring in Pickens is huge with the loss of Ezekiel Elliot, especially. It is going to take an emerging running back and good defense once again to defeat the Eagles who re-signed most of their talent over the offseason with confidence and hope that they can repeat.

  • Shedeur Sanders Mortified

    Shedeur Sanders Mortified

    Shedeur Sanders was ready to celebrate the after party of the Sanders Legendary cult 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders was great in college in the transition to Colorado and performing feeble at first. But hit a strong chord when his numbers improved for scouts to take a possible liking of him in the first round.

    Truth be told Sanders did not spark that fire he did in college on NFL Draft night 1. He failed to meet expectations and certainly made the worse of gestures, bling, family ties, and history that defined essence.

    Sanders grew up on this moment from social media highlights to clickbait and etc. I joke clickbait because sometimes that was his talent.Sanders talent was seen on camera flashing and posing but had something wise to say on social media if that is true.

    He said something along the lines of adversity and unlike Cam Ward who was nothing but nice and humble to begin his career in Tennessee. Sanders has a lot to learn and pick up on night 2 of the NFL Draft.

    It might be expectant. He lands outside the round of 2 and 3 based off quarterbacks drop offs currently to entice executives. Sanders did not pass the eye test for Pittsburgh, New Orleans, none even Aaron Rodgers.

    Aaron Rodgers was looking in the flash distance on a Pat McAfee show thinking what position will be whose. And come to find out the unknown is scary for Deion Sanders who coached his son and leads a legacy far imagined.

    Shaddeur Sanders is a prospect with skill, hype, motoring ability but the thing that sets him apart is the gene. The gene and maturity will determine what comes out of this and Sanders handling.

  • Brandon Graham Announces Retirement

    Brandon Graham Announces Retirement

    Brandon Graham has announced his retirement at the age of 36. It comes off heels of playing in Super Bowl LIX and striving to return to the field just weeks after injuring his triceps during week 12.

    The man who stripped-sacked Tom Brady and cost the New England Patriots Super Bowl LII, Graham has been largely a key integral part of the Philadelphia Eagles. He is the franchise leader in games played at 206 and his final sack was in Week 12 that moved him past Clyde Simmons for the third most in team history with 76.5 — behind only Reggie White and Trent Cole.

    “Over the course of his 15-year career, he produced so many memorable moments, both on and off the field. His 76.5 sacks are the third-highest total ever by an Eagle and, of course, he will forever be remembered for his game-changing play in Super Bowl 52, but it was the way he played the game and the way he carried himself that earned him the love and respect of his coaches, teammates, and fans. The positive energy he brought every day was infectious, whether it was a practice, a game, or just walking around the building. Anyone who has had the pleasure of interacting with him would tell you that it’s impossible to have a bad day after being in his presence. Make no mistake, he was also a tough, physical, and talented player who has played an integral role in the success we’ve had over the years.

    “In addition to being one of our all-time greats on the field, Brandon has always represented this organization and the City of Philadelphia with exemplary leadership, integrity, and class. Along with his trademark smile and warm demeanor, he treats everyone with respect and has been incredibly giving of himself to others, which is among the many reasons why he was a two-time Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award nominee. Of all the things that make him special though, it is Brandon’s character and gracious nature that have always stood out to me the most. We could not be prouder of the player, person, and family man that Brandon has become.

    “Although Brandon is officially retiring as a player, we know that his impact on our team will continue to be felt for many years to come, whether it is through the culture he helped build or his future endeavors. On behalf of the Philadelphia Eagles, we congratulate Brandon on an incredible career and wish him and his family all the best in retirement.”

    For his 15-year career, Graham totaled 487 tackles, 153 quarterback hits, 126 tackles for loss, 76.5 sacks, 22 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries with one returned for a touchdown. Off the field, he was recognized for his work in the community as the team’s Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award nominee in 2022 and 2024.

  • Three New Team NFL Quarterbacks in 2 Meek Days

    Three New Team NFL Quarterbacks in 2 Meek Days

    So, the tracks are turning and the birds are chirping during this time of year. It is almost spring you would know it which means players have to earn their pay checks whether that is dream resort vacation, Spring party atmosphere, or bodily.

    Geno Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders to play for his former head coach Pete Carroll. It was solid move considering Smith is 34 and has nothing to lose now working with a well-sought after coach. Carroll was supposed to visit the Chicago Bears and even the New York Jets but he stuck with whatever his instincts told him to do which was retrieve Smith after record setting years individually but not so much to Seattle.

    Sam Darnold, meanwhile, as of almost thirty minutes ago became available and took a feasible offer with the Seattle Seahawks. This does not rule out the fact, he has a great former pass-coordinator by his side from San Francisco, Klay Kubiak, who in fact, became offensive coordinator shortly before March commenced.

    I think given coach Kyle Shanahan’s poor track record. It might be easy to assume that Kubiak will be the successor to his throne in San Francisco very soon as the current regime does dislike losing as an answer. Coaching though will go extremely apart from what Darnold performs now, as he signed for the money and you could see that clearly on his face at a TGL golf tournament recently. It might take some time for Darnold to process the 12th man.

    Justin Fields, also, found a new place in the New York Jets. I did not see that coming as the Jets failed in terms of drafting and bettering the offense around Aaron Rodgers and circling around the former Super Bowl XLV MVP for unworthy player endorsements and Davante Adams being released moments after the season.

    Fields just does one thing. He takes a kick into the turf and starts running as fast as he can. Otherwise, his ceiling especially in front of a bunch of New York Jets fans, is to perform but have not see that, before with Michael Vick. Both, were well-materialized as Vick left and played Pittsburgh, much like what Rodgers will tend to do in the future, but with all that being said.

    Sam Darnold serves as the best chance this off-season. Good work to the Seattle Seahawks and what is to come for the rest of the National Football League, in 2025.
