  • James Franklin Fired by PSU

    Off the hands of a 10-year contract extension and Oregon home loss, Penn State head coach James Franklin has been fired from his duties.

    The next coach shall be named sufficiently, but everyone has Indiana/Pittsburgh native Curt Cignetti emerging as the next candidate to take over, after reshaping the program along with James Madison transfers to steer his way through another successful season, and Oregon win.

    As for Franklin, he is questionable to be a nice candidate for the National Football League and be spontaneous for any response heard his way.

    In addition, Franklin is set to earn a $50 million buyout by the University.

  • Why Saquon Barkley to Pats is Possible

    The New England Patriots have now won three straight games with a poor success run rate and rush per attempt by Rhamondre Stevenson.

    This might be climbling off a limb but it is possible to say Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown’s time in Philadelphia could come to a feasible time sooner than later.

    The Patriots have matched their win total from the last two seasons and coach Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye deserve a lot of credit for the direction of the team.

    In my opinion, Drake Maye is a better quarterback than Josh Allen.

    He is clearing all doubts of the defense from Sunday and run that Maye ranks first in completion percentage for a year 2 quarterback since 2000.

    Who could have figured that was Tom Brady’s year drafted out of Michigan and it just so happens to be that Maye did not get enough support from North Carolina like they are by coach-hungry, Bill Belichick.

    I digress, by saying including Barkley to the offense (no-pun intended) may even the odds for New England to pick up where they left off without Brady and Belichick.

    Barkley is rushing below expectations and has been injury prone in the past. He is rushing 3.3 yards per carry but that does not mean, how much the Madden cover athlete can contribute in a certain capacity for a playoff berth in the predominant AFC East.

  • Will Tank Bigsby Change the Eagles Backfield?

    Tank Bigsby was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, September 8 and could mark a historic day. Could he change the Eagles backfield?

    It will be Saquon Barkley, Bigsby, A.J. Dillon, and Will Shipley. There is no man odd out. Barkley is the All-Madden favorite, but, Bigsby could make a point to start down the line considering Howie Roseman struck again.

    Shipley is a good back. He needs to work more on his agility, burst, and speed. As for Dillon, he is a great veteran presence to have around the locker room.

    Bigsby could open a huge hole for Barkley to continue working hard and, then, play well enough to determine if Bigsby has an operative tank to fill on.

  • Report: Eagles Acquire Tank Bigsby

    Report: Eagles Acquire Tank Bigsby

    The Philadelphia Eagles have sent a fifth and sixth round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Tank Bigsby. Bigsby is a running back with nice size and can supplement the backfield alongside Barkley, AJ Dillon, and Will Shipley.

    Many are concerned about Barkley headed into the season now. However, with the addition of Bigsby, this allows the Eagles to create a split backfield as evidenced by his performance with Travis Etienne.

    The Jaguars wanted to move on after rushing for 766 yards and seven touchdowns. The only thing remains, what the Philadelphia Eagles can do to replace No.2 running back Kenneth Gainwell who started with 107 touches last season.

  • Howie Roseman Bleeds Philadelphia

    Howie Roseman Bleeds Philadelphia

    Howie Roseman bleeds for the city of Philadelphia. That is what he said on the Up and Adams show featuring Kay Adams and made no qualms about it. Roseman most originally led the Philadelphia Eagles to a proud Super Bowl victory and annihilated the Kansas City Chiefs in huge fashion.

    To dominate his past demons with Chip Kelly then Andy Reid, must have been huge as Roseman started in the league at a very young age studying behind the scenes and now taking advantage of every single free agent pickup such as Connor Barwin, Zack Baun, and Saquon Barkley.

    He does not draft bad either aka Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith, Jalen Carter, and etc. He likes to add talent throughout the SEC and mix mash with favorable coaches such as Nick Sirriani, Shane Steichen, Vic Fangio, and so on.

    What is intertesting to note is the season the Eagles came off last year. It was another season of adversity and they plotted together arguably the greatest Eagles season of all-time under Sirriani who did not know if he would stick around.

    Despite the fanbase neutral take on Sirriani, they counted on Roseman to make the right decision with one of the best coaching win percentages and even solidify a good call in ensuring veteran Brandon Graham was healthy for the Super Bowl.

    Howie Roseman is now considered one of the more excitable general managers in the NFL, without reason. He has deserved it. He is Howie Roseman.

  • Eagles are Eternally Super Bowl LIX Champions

    Eagles are Eternally Super Bowl LIX Champions

    The Philadelphia Eagles are eternally Super Bowl LIX champions. Nobody can take that away from them and neither AFC team can dethrone what they accomplished.

    The Eagles bonafide a contender with the self-esteem panel of Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio. Together, they replaced Sean Desai and one other coordinator and became a resilient force in the NFL with components such as rookie Cooper Dejean, MIlton Williams, Jalen Carter, and more cast contributors.

    In the Super Bowl, things got off to a hot pace with Dejean capturing a pick-six and making his mom proud from Pop Warner.

    Milton Williams was the star of the game as he had to literally rush for the oxygen mask and provide leeway for what was tremendous four-man pressure by even Josh Sweat.

    The offense compared to the Chiefs did not master what Patrick Mahomes could still formulate in the air but in the end, Hurts combined a solid game despite his doubters and threw mostly vertical to his favorite targets, Devonta Smith and AJ Brown.

    It was an all-around team effort by the Eagles as Nick Bolton of Kansas City tried to reverse courses of the basic game plan and stop prominent Philadelphia MVP Saquon Barkley but most blitzes were executed wrongly and Travis Kelce dropped key passes to seal the game for Xavier Worthy, the key Chiefs star of the game, despite Mahomes heroic efforts.

    We can all claim Mahomes is the best quarterback in the National Football League but the better team won. The Philadelphia Eagles outshined the landscape of Bourbon Street, celebrities, politicians, and featured athletes.

    The stars aligned for mainly Jalen Hurts when it mattered most and Nick Sirriani goes home as the second Philadelphia Eagles head coach behind Doug Pederson to proudly hoist the trophy.
