    Carson Wentz once stayed in a game with a torn ACL, LCL and meniscus to throw a go-ahead TD pass in a game that had No. 1 seed ramifications for the #Eagles. And now he played 2 1/2 games with a torn labrum for the #Vikings. He’s not the player he was in 2017 or 2019 or even 2021
    Carson Wentz came in on two weeks notice, was thrown into the fire, became seriously injured, and played through that for weeks. The Chargers night was extremely difficult to watch, frankly. It was almost scary. Couldn't believe he was still in. Dude is as tough as they come.

    The Philadelphia Eagles gave Carson Wentz a $128 million, 4-year contract extension that kicks in next season and then did almost nothing to help him succeed. In 21 years covering this team & the NFL, I never saw anything like it.

    Andy Reid says yelling and screaming isn’t necessarily the best way to coach players. “I treat people the way I want to be treated whether it’s what I learned through church or family. I’m a teacher. ... I want to help them become better men, husbands.”

    Former #Eagles player told me: “Doug wasn’t the problem. Carson isn’t the problem. The PROBLEM is still there.” This feeling has been expressed to me by several others recently. More people around the league have shared similar thoughts with me over the past week in Tampa.

    Win or lose, Super Bowl MVP or third-string QB, Nick Foles is the same humble, genuine guy. I covered him as a rookie, a SB champ & a backup with the #Eagles. He never changed. One of the best people you’ll ever meet. This is why he is who he is 👇🏻

    Cole Hamels says he didn't get permission to wear David Montgomery's initials on a patch on his uniform: "I'll take the fine. I don't care. David meant a lot to me." #Cubs #Phillies

    When your ace exits an elimination game after just 70 pitches because he gave up a grounder up the middle after hitting a guy who wanted to get hit, bad things happen.

    #Vikings QB Sam Darnold probably would’ve been a candidate for the Comeback Player of the Year award before the AP issued guidance to voters before the season, instructing them that “the spirit of the award is to honor a player who has demonstrated resilience in the face of

    Carson Wentz is invested in Philadelphia/South Jersey communities. It’s not just about him. It’s about family, friends, his AO1 Foundation, his Thy Kingdom Crumb food truck, friendships & relationships. I’m told he doesn’t want out of Philly & he hasn’t told that to anyone.

    I'm told by 2 people with direct knowledge of the situation that Doug Pederson stood up for Frank Reich when management wanted to fire him as OC after the 2016 season. Reich stayed, #Eagles won the Super Bowl the next season and the #Colts hired him away as head coach.
