Sitting next to my Eagles obsessed mother in law and she’s doing and saying stuff that makes this look like child’s play. Like I’m afraid to even post it for fear of someone alerting the authorities.
I love Philadelphia

The sign of a well-coached team.
#Eagles penalty to first-down ratio remains quite bad.
Through four drives, they've got two first downs and three offensive penalties.

I thought the Blazers overpaid when they gave up two first-rounders for Deni.
I could not have been more wrong.

Deni is playing out of his mind - 18/3/3 in 12 minutes of action. On a different level.

So, Joel Embiid was a full participant in practice Monday, participated in parts of shootaround yesterday, was "trending toward" playing yesterday before getting ruled out and is now being held out of practice today for a strength and conditioning session instead? 🤔
Sixers say an MRI confirmed Trendon Watford’s left adductor strain and he will be reevaluated in two weeks. VJ Edgecombe (calf) and Paul George (ankle) were participants in today’s practice. Joel Embiid (knee) did not participate, but did go through an individual strength and conditioning session.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
