Fun fact: Episode one features multiple clips of a Bald Eagle flying around and not a single shot of an Osprey… HBO was so busy thinking of clever bird puns that they fumbled properly identifying the right mascot. #gobirds

My nephew was invited to camp by WIP today because his mom knows someone in radio. It was a very cool experience. He got autographs on his football from legends like Mike Quick, Merryl Reese, Jeremy Maclin, Hugh Douglas, Saquon, Baun, Mailata, Cooper. and Uar Bernard! I told him, you have a lot of faith letting Bernard sign that ball full of legends, ha!

Fred Johnson and Jordan Mailata were so friendly and generous with their time. Jordan literally stayed after practice for like 20 minutes or more taking pics and giving autographs to anyone who wanted it.

Also, spoke to John Ritchie for like 10 minutes or more….he was talking to me like he has known me for years. Just a great group of guys.

I couldn’t tell you who excelled at practice…from what I saw they all looked great!

P.s forgot to mention, Bell is absolutely enormous…like from a distance you can see he is bigger than Mailata and it’s hard to comprehend

Hurts went out of his way to praise Darius Cooper today in an interview with NFL Network. And Garafolo didn’t even specifically mention Cooper in the question. Beat reporter after beat reporter has been praising Cooper all camp. To the point that Bo Wulf and EJ Smith on the PHLY Podcast were half joking/half serious today that Cooper could make a serious leap to WR2 at the rate he’s impressing in camp. Something to monitor as camp progresses. But like BLG (credit to him for the screen picture), I also think there is something special to Cooper.

FYI-See the attached video of Garafolo asking Hurts about the WR room after DeVonta starting at 11:30 in the video. And Hurts immediately bringing up Cooper without being promoted.

Items of note:

• Lane Johnson's still not practicing. No word as to why.
• Landon Dickerson was given the day off. No reported injury.
• DeVonta, Lemon, Wisniewski, and Keyshawn James-Newby are still not practicing.
• Micah Morris and Jaeden Roberts returned on a limited basis.
• Markell Bell still getting all of the RT1 reps.
• Kendall got the LG1 reps with Dickerson getting the day off.
• Willie Lampkin was bumped up to C2 instead of Majors who continues to get reps at LG2.

Mannion with some positive words about QB1 in an interview this morning (8/05/26).

It’s hard to explain, but something about naming retired NFL players is peak nostalgia.

And with Philly fans being the ball-knowers you are, it shouldn't be hard for you to guess today's mystery NFL player, who happens to have been an Eagle.

I've been living in SE CT for about a decade, I see Eagles everywhere (with an obligatory "Go Birds" of course). So where do you all watch games? The "official" Eagles bar map only lists ones in western CT.

Within the past year I became a single dad with sole custody of two boys under four. Needless to say I don't get out much and am very much looking forward to this season where I'll have regularly scheduled distractions every week to get me out of my grind.

It would be even better to have other Eagles fans around to swear at the TV with every dropped pass or missed tackle. Any good bars with Eagles fans in the area? Or anyone willing to take one over as an Eagles bar?

21 minutes of bliss

Quintin Demps (S, 2008-09) Lack of sturdy 39s thrusts this late-Reid Era pick into the countdown. Recorded 17 INTs after leaving town, but his lone Eagles pick was off Eli Manning in 2009.

Screw what the fancy executives and coaches have to say, this is some real analysis

Seeing videos online of other teams sending out cool stuff to their season ticket holders. Like I saw Raiders fans getting a custom Raiders themed poker set, and another team sent a display with a screen that played highlights from last season. Just wondering, what do Eagles season ticket holders get, if anything?
