Glad he caught that, because that would have been maybe the worst DPI I’ve ever seen…

WOW!!! A friend who is a Teamsters member sent me this letter from Teamsters VP John Palmer absolutely lambasting Teamsters President Sean O'Brien for meeting with Donald Trump. You don't see this kind of internal dissension coming out in the public very often!!

Embiid has hit the 50-point mark.

4:58 left in the third quarter.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

A new study has found that most workplace wellness programs don't have much benefit.

Providing workshops and mindfulness classes and coaching for workers has become a billion-dollar industry.

The Oxford research found that better pay and better schedules would be more helpful.

@brianros1 That’s better than most of their passes.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

Need a replay, but it looked like Hurts missed a wide open Goeddert?

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

Reddick in coverage…again.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

Covet has been outstanding all year, but muff aside, why field that ball at the four? There’s no version of physics that isn’t carrying that ball into the end zone.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

@brianros1 Carter wasn’t set, but a chunk of that blame is scheme. Reddick was just chilling in the flat with no real threat on that side of the field.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

Imagine reviewing the tape from the last few weeks and thinking that dropping Reddick into coverage still makes sense.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

Hurts baled on that throw.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

….STOP MAKING DEVONTE SMITH THE BLOCKER IN WR SCREEN PLAYS!….

Thanks.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

I have no idea why Tampa would do anything other than run high school-level passing concepts. The Eagles’ back seven is as broken as any team I’ve seen—and, as my three year old notes, I’m kind of old now.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

I may not make it to the end of the 1st quarter.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

The only thing saving the Eagles offense from a season of unrelenting criticism is the existence of the Eagles defense.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

Eagles saw the Cowboys yesterday and decided that they could not be one-upped on the most embarrassing performance of the weekend.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

We live in a failed state.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

For all the focus on the Eagles defensive deficiencies, the offense, with something like 9 of 11 starters going to open the game, is going to put up a zero points and two turnovers in the first half of a game against a last place team.

[Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower]

Look out for the media folks who, perhaps strategically, scoffed at the idea of Sirianni being fired a few weeks ago finding faith over the next eight days.
