Aaron Nola in 2019: “Where I come from, people don’t really honk their horns much.

In Baton Rouge we sit around a fire and talk life. Hot or cold. It doesn’t matter. It’s a sportsman’s paradise in Louisiana.

So the first time I was able to really experience the city of Philadelphia, in 2014 after my season in Double A ended, it was kind of funny and stressful at the same time.

Cars parked in the middle of the street. Horns honking every 10 seconds. People crossing at every light and corner. Street vendors and people traffic everywhere. And….

Me.

A kid from Louisiana, fresh out of college. Far from home. Wearing some faded, broken-in jeans and an old hoodie. Standing in the middle of all that, laughing at myself and this place of chaos. I had never spent time in a large city before. I remember saying to myself: ‘This has got to be the biggest city in the world.’

Then at one point I started walking around trying to find something to eat, obviously having no idea where I am. It was raining and about 35°. Not knowing any better, I was walking close to the curb when a bus passed and hit a pothole.

I got soaked.

That was a great start to the day.

Welcome to Philly, bud!....

I came to Philadelphia as a kid from Baton Rouge who’d never experienced life in a big city. And for a minute, when I was standing on that sidewalk, wet from getting splashed by a bus, it looked like a lot for me. But I can now say that I’m a better person because of Philadelphia, my teammates, and the people I have surrounded myself with.

With the grace of God, it turned out I landed in the right place.” https://t.co/EJi045ZLk9

@Josheenyoo @RisingStarXI That's like saying Pulisic, Richards, and Nico Cavallo are the present.

(Really sorry to Nico for the stray)

Tanner McKee might be a top 15 qb

[Jeff Kerr @JeffKerrPHL]

98.4 mph splitter
99 mph splitter

Dombrowski might as well just DFA Kepler and call it a deadline. Addition by subtraction

[Down Shrecklich (8-2) @downshrecklich]

Good point we’re way better than every other team who cares if we have the “fourth hardest” schedule. It’s like a Grizzly Bear being lined up against 17 kittens. Even if some are meaner than others it doesn’t really matter

@BLaumakis Yea 2010 doc was special

[Lou Liedtka @LiedtkaLou]

Confused how the eagles have won 12/13, beaten both the commanders and rams, only loss during that time is to the commanders by 3 without hurts, but the rams and commanders are the two hottest teams in the NFC according to every analyst.

[Lou Liedtka @LiedtkaLou]

Considering Chase Daniel started a whopping 5 games in his 14 year career, not sure he should be critiquing Jalen here

[Chase Daniel @ChaseDaniel]

Jalen Hurts performance is the type that diminishes the “wins are a QB stat” crowd.
