This week was a wildly extreme example of a trend I'm obsessed with in sports media.
I have consumed, conservatively, 10 hours of NBA podcast gossip this week (80% Luka analysis/conspiracies). Meanwhile, I genuinely don't think I've watched ten consecutive minutes of NBA on TV since the Finals.
On the other hand, I have consumed maybe 15 mins of Super Bowl media content this week (rare case, to be clear; I subscribe to 4 or 5 NFL pods I adore, but my appetite for Luka gossip, plus the rematch nature of the KC-Philly SB, temporarily squeezed them out). Meanwhile, I'll watch every minute of the Super Bowl from the national anthem to the confetti drop.
#Eagles LT Jordan Mailata on QB Jalen Hurts taking hits and popping up, except for the one it took a little longer on:
“The one that scared me he just laid there. I ran over and said, ‘Stay down.’ And he said, ‘Pick me the fuck up.’ And I said, ‘Yes, sir.’”
the Giants have a larger dead cap hit ($11.7M) to have James Bradberry play for the Eagles than the Eagles are actually paying him ($10M)
thanks for all you did Dave Gettleman
Eagles defense ranked 8th in EPA/play during Jim Schwartz's 5-year run.
Stubborn and frustrating at times, overall he did an excellent job. Two top-5 DVOA finishes, never lower than 17th.
