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 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 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.
