It’s 3 am, I’m flying to London tomorrow for work, and I don’t think I can sleep.

A New Orleans Super Bowl win where you beat the ever living daylights out of the opponent, then walk triumphantly down Bourbon Street hugging strangers is very, very fun.

[PHLY Eagles @PHLY_Eagles]

Everyone’s dropping in on our Suoer Bowl #WinnersLounge!

What’s up from New Orleans, @denizselman33?

"Tulsky was born in Philadelphia, growing up a sports fan. He'd watch Mike Schmidt and the Phillies at The Vet and still lets an occasional "Go Birds!" slip out during NFL season."

Congratulation to Eagles fan / analytics nerd Eric Tulsky on his first Stanley Cup.

I was referred to this amazing picture by @rich_hofmann's https://t.co/ojy63XJ4sY. It is my first read on anything sports-related, every morning.

Vic Fangio is all smiles while talking to Riq Woolen.

Nick Sirianni, up 44-6, refusing to end the game in victory formation...

[Brandon Lee Gowton @BrandonGowton]

Nick Sirianni says the Eagles’ mission on offense is to end every drive with a kick (PAT, FG, or punt).

@orrdavid He was bragging about this years ago (I looked briefly at his fund, passed - it was clear to me they were employing the trader's option):

@EJSmith94 @MarkDulgerian The chat with @MarkDulgerian was really insightful. Also, I listened to a ton of Jimi back in college, had never heard “Who Knows” - thank you.

In the nineties here was a jam band called “Crosstown Traffic” that would play at a dive bar in West Philly. They were so fun.

“Best player available” is inexorably theory-laden.

[sunset shazz @sunset_shazz]

@benj_robinson Will you be writing up how the round went (biggest reach, best value, player by player rank vs expected)?

Hello.

@Tim_McManus My family sat bemused while I argued with the waiter about positional draft value and whether or not AJ should be traded. 😀

[sunset shazz @sunset_shazz]

I was at dinner in Northern California tonight and the waiter made a point of bringing up @Tim_McManus excellent reporting (my son was wearing an Eagles shirt and the waiter was a birds fan). As I told him: McManus’s reporting is unimpeachable.

[Josh Hendrickson @RebelEconProf]

Happy Elimination Day to all who celebrate.

Best of luck to Eagles fan / Artemis II Mission Evaluation Room Manager and Orion Systems Engineering & Integration Manager @jhutt75. I last saw Jason on Bourbon Street late at night on Feb 9, 2025.

Today is a culmination of decades of hard work - it's so incredibly exciting.

@LesBowen I was in Salt Lake for 2002, after terrible tournament losses in Nagano 98 and the World Cup of Hockey 96. The win for Canadian fans was a relief on par with the 2017 Eagles.

To effectuate change, you need to fight inertia and a deep-seated human preference for the familiar. Status quo bias is built-in, must be actively overcome.

[sunset shazz @sunset_shazz]

Reality has a status quo bias. Inertia is likelier than progress.

[sunset shazz @sunset_shazz]

When I see other teams sycophantic beat writers, I am more than ever grateful for the Philly press corps, which has a backbone.

[Mike Reiss @MikeReiss]

Patriots coaches had a staff dinner Tuesday night at Fleming’s Steakhouse.

Private room. Stories told about the 2025 season. Favorite moments shared. And a message of “let’s finish this the right way.”

Staff means a lot to Mike Vrabel, who picks up the bill.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Don't believe what xenophobes tell you: financially America is net ahead on immigrants. They're entitled to dislike people from certain countries if they want to (and are willing to admit that's what drives them), but the economic argument is bullshit.
