Philadelphia Eagles fans criticizing Coach Nick Sirianni, who is the most successful coach in team history, wanting him to be fired because of this year while the @Eagles on their 4th quarterback of the year, with their 4th and 5th string wide receivers, playing with backup right tackle and center, and an injured starting running back while on their 5th string running back, tells you all you need to know about Eagles fans.

What Hal said following every season since 2020:
2020:
“Our offense—just inconsistent at playing up to their potential, to me. … You couldn’t tell which offense was going to show up.”
2021:
“The majority of the responsibility, whether it's the responsibility of inconsistent offense or bad baserunning, etc., that responsibility lies with the players.”
2022:
“Aaron Boone wasn’t responsible for our offense, the slide they experienced the last couple months of the season rolling into the postseason.”
2023:
“We did not get where we needed to be with run production—it was probably our biggest problem.”
2024:
“We did not play a clean World Series."
2025:
“This Toronto series was on the players. It’s on the players’ shoulders, period. They didn’t hit."
2026:
“The majority of the responsibility … lies with the position players and the inability to score on a consistent basis.”

If Tampa Bay has a 50% larger R&D staff than your $12B organization, you haven’t gone “all-in”.
Just for starters.
ICYMI: What does “all-in” mean for the New York Yankees?

Exactly. Because Gilded Age Robber Barons feared the revolutionary potential of labor. The tech barons have no such worries and behave accordingly as the greediest capitalist class in history.

The Yankees don’t need more of Jorge Posada or Derek Jeter, or to go back to how things were. If anything, the issue is that they're stale. The front office has been the same people for years and years and years. They need new, fresh, modern voices from top to bottom in that organization, and it’s deeper than the manager.

It was at this moment I became a @JalenHurts fan forever. At 19 years old he was asked one of the most difficult questions of his career - all I could hear is “after going 11-1, how did it feel to get pulled at the second half and watch someone else steal your glory” and his answer was beautiful. Ultimate team guy. Need more people like this in the world.

Lane Johnson is a special player, but more importantly a special person! I love him like a brother!
For the past decade, Lane has been the best Right tackle in the NFL. His athleticism, technique, strength, and size, combined to make him a player few could get around. His pass set and movements looked more like an art than someone who punched people for a living. It was a pure joy to watch him play for all these years, but even more so, it was a pure joy to be his friend. Lane could make me laugh, cry, and smile all in a matter of hours. In the meeting room cracking jokes, in his car listening to country music lyrics, at the cafeteria talking about life, I cherish the memories, they give me so much joy. Congratulations on retirement, I loved ever second of watching you play, and am proud that I got to share the field with you @LaneJohnson65

11 years sober! One of the best decisions I ever made on this day in 2015. Grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way to regain control and wake up every day a better version of myself as a father, husband, and friend. For anyone out there battling, just know you’re not alone and please speak up. There is a light at the end of the tunnel 🙏🏾

Brian Cashman and the #Yankees have shit running down their leg for the 17th straight season. He is a baseball executive dinosaur that cannot admit his mistakes. It’s time to move on.
