At his core, Trump is an adolescent president, surrounded by adolescent flunkies, cheered into office by adolescent men. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I am an Eagles fan and Penn State fan so I hope the Cowboys trade Parsons. But unless he went to them privately and made it clear he's not signing an extension, I don't know how a trade conversation even starts in the front office. Elite pass rushers are the 2nd most valuable players in the sport.

Also, a comment on "The Gorge" reviews: you cannot go into a movie like this and come out of it complaining about plot holes. The trailer shows two lone wolf snipers tasked with keeping monsters from getting out of a smoky gorge, and they fall in the gorge. What did you think you were watching?

I watched "The Gorge" today on Apple TV+ and enjoyed it. A little long, but I liked both of the leads and the action/horror had the scent of an early Sam Raimi movie.

The living embodiment of the worst parts of US government and politics. His legacy is undeniable: a ghoulish villain who leveraged his limited authority as an elected official from one of the poorest, dumbest states in the country to make the majority of American lives worse.

Super Bowl LIX Under Review! Jalen Hurts saved his best for last. That was an all-time playoff run by the Eagles. That was an all-time performance by the Eagles defense. And where do the Chiefs go from here? www.theringer.com/2025/02/11/n...

One of the most innovative things DVOA introduced to football analytics was context - adjusting for opposition, and yes also heavily discounting garbage time stats. Odd to see this post from Aaron lauding WR production that was heavily padded after the game was already decided.

Really? So we’re making a big deal of yards gained in the final three minutes of a blowout, against backups? Not sure Eagles fans are the ones who are “pretending.”

Still riding high from the Super Bowl. Hurts is such an incredible gamer, what an outstanding performance. Go Birds.

Very good work here from EJ: Jalen Hurts’ improbable path to Super Bowl MVP removes any doubt that the Eagles ‘have the quarterback’ https://buff.ly/4aSr5hz

Now that’s depressing as hell

The absolute most essential Eagles content comes from Jimmy. Must read and follow.

Because young business major-y bros are stupid - to wit, I guarantee they almost all voted for this. If you think this administration is going to tank the US economy, and it's extremely likely their actions will be recessionary, how is that a surprise? The time to act was months ago.

Will be interesting to see what his market is. He's already 29, and the stated asking price will be 2 first round picks, plus you have to pay him for the backside of his career. Contenders with not great pass rush? Eagles and Chiefs actually both qualify.

Eagles vs Commanders: NFC Championship They "took over" the Hard Rock and then got Rocked Hard Edition, courtesy of the Commanders Radio Network with Bram Weinstein and London Fletcher 1. SAQUON. BARKLEY. "One play. Eagles take the lead. Touchdown Saquon Barkley."

One of the few reasons I still have a WaPo subscription. It's becoming less justifiable to keep it as intelligent, liberal voices like Jen Rubin start leaving. Really suggests that internally they see the paper as a lost cause - otherwise, they would stay and fight to fix it.

Is NYC's congestion fee a regressive tax? No. Driving into Manhattan is expensive even w/o the fee, so very few low-wage workers do it. Plus the money will be used to improve the transit systems they *do* use paulkrugman.substack.com/p/lessons-fr...

Probably the most important piece you’ll read today.

My guess for NFL playoff schedule: Sat 4p - LAC@HOU Sat. 8p - PIT@BAL SUN 1p - DET/MIN@TB SUN 4p - DEN@BUF SUN 8p - GB@PHI MON - WAS@LAR If LAR loses today, just change the visiting teams.

Also an indictment of an uninformed and apathetic electorate.

Oof I'm not so sure. There's a difference between having a bad season and winning only 3 games in a season. They chose to extend a bad QB and it burned them, let several good players leave, and the rest of the roster is obviously uncompetitive. This was their own doing!

All that said about Barkley, the biggest hurdle facing the Eagles right now on their path to the Super Bowl is that Hurts hasn't practiced or played in 2 weeks. Hopefully he is a full participant this week.

I've already posted that I think it's a mistake to not have Barkley go for the all time rushing record. So I thought his comments here courtesy of @zberm.bsky.social are interesting. He recognizes the gravity of the moment but also willing to put team first. allphly.com/eagles-insig...

Inflation hitting every country after a pandemic that disrupted the economy in every country means the cause of inflation was not any US policy. The US curbing inflation further and faster than any other developed economy means US economic policy was a success. It's really not he said/she said.

This is a wild story about a truly wild individual. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

Seems odd given his excellent regular season record and playoff streak. The fact this keeps coming up tells me that his reputation around the league is really bad. Not surprising given his sideline behavior. Most teams don't want to need a security guy who babysits the HC on gameday.

Writing teachers: You need subtlety in your work. Don't hit readers over the head with symbolism. They aren't stupid. 2025:

Why would you set an exercise goal that doesn’t impact how you look? Exercising is a horrible waste of time in and of itself - who in their right mind would spend their life running in place? That’s torture. The only reason to do it is to be more fit.

a remarkable statement from someone who six months ago announced that the president cannot be governed by law when performing his "core" responsibilities
