Sirianni must reeeeeeally like his pal Patullo, because he just may end up losing his job over this guy.
It's pretty obvious that the Eagles need to make some kind of big change. They cannot keep rolling out this trash offense every week. They'll have a couple extra days to figure something out before their next game, but it can't be nothing.

But…but…Hegseth is a “Christian.” So he’s making Jesus moves, right?

I swear on everthing most dear to me that if I were asking this president a valid question as this journalist did and he insulted me, I would make clear then and there that his behavior dishonors the office, is a disgrace to the nation. Why do these journalists let him piss in their face?

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.
Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

For decades, generations of Americans will be learning what is now hidden, which is to say all of the many ways this president was a criminal and compromised.

SCOTUS again lets the Feres Doctrine stand—a miscarriage of justice against our servicemembers. I’ve written about Feres several times; its impact on military families is heart-twisting. This one a finalist for National Magazine & American Bar Association award … www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/11...

She raises the good question of: How do #journalism entities build trust. Tone-deaf to the irony that she sits there personifying one of the biggest problems: She has zero idea what it means to report, yet installed to lead journalists; can’t hear or doesn’t care beyond her own bloviating.
The new editor of CBS News thinks that Alan Dershowitz and Dana Loesch debating the 2nd Amendment is “news.”
So, pour one out tonight for the actual journalists at CBS who have to listen to this drivel in the am news meeting
(She also says Dersh is “charismatic,” but that’s the lesser horror)

The best magazine journalism doesn’t merely present facts; it connects the facts in a narrative that makes the reader *feel* the truth. The most potent presentation of facts is a carefully crafted story that earns the reader’s attention with every scene, every sentence. We need more of this.

If you think it is sedition for someone, let alone a decorated veteran-member of Congress, to publicly state that servicemembers should not follow unlawful orders … you are ok with American servicemembers committing war crimes. Trump and his enabler-lackeys are so far gone.

Zero 2nd half points = Zero business winning this game.
Eagles had zero business losing this game if they operated like a team that tried to win after going up 21-0 instead of just playing not to lose.
