@PBSportstalks @MySportsUpdate Vrabels children are 24 and 25 years old

Mike #Vrabel is a horrible guy for what he’s done. Knowingly having an affair with a woman when he is married with children. Further, he knows she is married and had 2 children during the affair. He still continued. As far as her. What kind of low life do you have to be, to have an ongoing affair, date a different man, marry that man and birth two children, while having an affair and then name your son after the man you’re having an affair with. What the actual F #patriots #russini

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said on ESPN that Mike Vrabel’s situation is not a personal conduct policy violation and is currently being treated as a personal matter.

@DiBonaNFL @OllieConnolly @JakeRabadi That’s tampering

It’s interesting to hear @OllieConnolly hint that the Eagles trading with the Vikings for Jonathan Greenard is essentially a done deal around the 1:18:00 mark of this podcast. (Credit to @JakeRabadi for finding this!)

@Hotdogholes @ChrisLap_18 @PhillyPMC You think nfl gms get their information from russini or other reporters….?

@ChrisLap_18 @PhillyPMC Eventually, if the leaks keep coming, teams will know the problem wasn’t fixed, so he’s not coming off the shelves. They’re waiting for him to go on sale bc with the reports, they know it’s bound to happen

If you go back and look at Russini’s reporting on Brown to the Pats, two things are inarguable: (1) the constant reports throughout the season, while true, had a destabilizing affect on the Eagles season; (2) the reports were leaked in order to generate leverage in trade talks. I’m not here to pass moral judgment; I think we would all be better off extending people grace. But my biggest issue is the blatant conflict of interest that people are ignoring. Russini obtained this information from a coach who she was (apparently) engaged in an affair with, and then used those reports to Vrabel’s benefit.

@Coach_GPetrasso @IcyVert He could’ve rainbowed it over his head, it’s a ball

@IcyVert Goalie is halfway toward the shooter. It could be a cardboard cutout and make the stop ten out of 10 times.

My attempt for a free cheesesteak comes up saved

@ferdaterd @RayPetkau It’s okay to admit you’re wrong and the Skinner is the reason the flyers are up 2-0

@SBowers40 @RayPetkau When your defender is taking away pass and not shot, you focus on the shot. Why on earth would he anticipate the pass when his teammate is in the lane? You’re genuinely picking these instances and saying he should have reacted better when hung out to dry

Viewers of the Pens/Flyers series have questions. This metric is a great idea but it's completely useless with the data currently available for it. In last nights game, this model assigned an expected goal value of .04% on the first Flyers goal and .19% for the second. Thats saying an average NHL goalie stops the first goal around 24 of 25 times and the 2nd goal around 4 of 5 times. Now go look at those goals with that in mind. For that matter, look at all the shots Skinner faced in the 2 games and compare with this chart. You will have questions, as he's been excellent. But this paints a very different and inaccurate picture This is junk but many people think it has value in assessing goalie play. It could have value but only with better data, so let's work towards getting that before we use incomplete data to improperly assess NHL talent

@ferdaterd @RayPetkau His teammate is in what lane?!?! He’s literally down on a knee to block the shot lol..this isn’t 12u

@ferdaterd @RayPetkau No you’re right..he should definitely keep dropping to his knees before the flyers shoot the puck..it’s going really well..and I’m the retarded one…

@SBowers40 @RayPetkau This lets me know you’re retarded. “He should’ve just slid over to compete and look better”. Guess what Tippett does as soon as he starts to motion left? I can tell you have no concept of how goaltending works considering you’re knocking him for reacting to what he CAN see.

@ferdaterd @RayPetkau You think skinner should drop to his knees when the puck is high circle and there’s traffic? Gtfoh

@SBowers40 @RayPetkau Yeah that would be because of the screen, what did Drysdale do right before this still frame?

@ferdaterd @RayPetkau And yeah the way he play Hathaways goal was brutal..Tippett was never shooting that puck..did Skinner not know Hathaway was there….? Not saying he makes the save anyway but at least compete a little

@SBowers40 @RayPetkau Do you always call it bad goaltending when them teams defense is useless like on hathaways goal Monday? Or on the screen by girard Saturday?

@PHI_Dose Any GM that trades a 2027 first better make sure they’re playing in the Super Bowl

I was thinking last night about a possible plan Howie could have in the making. What if he trades pick 23 & a 27 1st to go snag Jordan Tyson, then sends AJ Brown to the Patriots for their 27 1st giving us back that 1st round pick in theroy.

@TheSopranosClub John Demjanjuk?

Scorsese’s Dad looks like… Wait, you say it so I know it’s not just me 😆

@JakeRabadi Dan Vladar will be on some mvp ballots

My initial Eagles-comp for Dan Vladar has to be Zack Baun Reclamation, cheap signing that blew expectations out of the water. Albeit, Vladar plays a much more important position, he’s probably a lesser overall player. 2022 James Bradberry also applies

@yankeeh8er @spotrac You don’t think the cash being saved is most important to Lurie? He just sold 8% of the team not even 2 years ago

@spotrac So Eagles are taking a $27m cap hit in 2027 to not have AJ and they are getting worse compensation because they are only going to trade him to one team? I refuse to belive that Howie is this bad at being a GM.

Trading WR A.J. Brown (after June 1st) New Team Cash 2026: $29M (gtd) 2027: $21M ($4M gtd) 2028: $32M 2029: $31M New Team Cap 2026: $7M 2027: $10.9M 2028: $17.8M 2029: $23.6M 2030: $53.5M (void) #Eagles Dead Cap 2026: $16.3M ($7M saved) 2027: $27.1M ($4M lost)

@PierreB3_ Won’t be introduced until after the aj brown trade

Hopefully we hear from Sean Mannion soon

@FermStasia @PITSINIA918 @nhlpens He’s more worried about putting hands on Barkey than fighting through a screen

@FermStasia @PITSINIA918 @nhlpens See how he’s down and the puck was never released..that’s bad goaltending..then when he goes to push to square up, drysdale puts it 5 hole..the whole sequence is just bad

There's watching the game and then there's checking the final box score.

@thomasrp93 Sean Mannion hasn’t had a press conference yet because the Eagles don’t want him answering questions about aj brown and having to lie

I wouldn't be surprised if AJ Brown has bought in to the new offense after meeting Sean Mannion and the new staff, and thats why we haven't heard anything from his camp. I'm sure he wanted out during last years horrific offensive staff, but that probably changed. #Eagles

@PNilan91592 @patrick_steen6 @Flyers_Clips Martone showed up and carried his team to an improbable playoff berth..the islanders were giving up 7 goals a game regularly while blowing a playoff spot

@SBowers40 @patrick_steen6 @Flyers_Clips That’s a result of circumstance.
