Philadelphia Eagles: When You Wentz Upon a Star - Page 290 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

7. I think I read the rant of former WFAN talk-show host Mike Francesa about the Jason Kelce expletive-peppered speech during the Eagles’ Super Bowl celebration. The Francesa take (he was angry that Kelce cursed) is one of the most get-off-my-lawn things I’ve heard in a while. Said Francesa on WOR in New York: “You ever heard about winning like a champion? Somebody should have taken a hook and pulled him off … I was in the car when I heard it and people were replaying it like it was the greatest thing in the world. How dumb are you to replay that? I wouldn’t give that one second airtime … If I were the owner of the team, I’d cut him.” I do agree with Francesa that the cursing was over the top, and at time slightly cringe-inducing. But the rest—seriously?

8. I think, not that Francesa would know this, but Jason Kelce was the NFL’s first-team all-pro center in 2017. He’s an unquestioned team leader. He’s got the 10th-highest salary-cap number for centers in 2018, which means he’s a player of great value. If Jeff Lurie cut Jason Kelce, players on that team would be beyond furious—as would coach Doug Pederson. Would the Eagles have been better with Kelce not f-bombing the speech? Of course. Cutting him? Knee-jerk to the max. But hey, it’s a hot take.

Kelce got the NY area media tilted too. Get off your high horse Mike.

Anyone that listens to Francesca for legitimate listening purposes should be euthanized. Hate listening is ok because presumably those people know he's a moron

Howie fleeces teams so regularly it doesn't even generate discussion anymore.

Hope Graham isn't really on the block, though.

Great work so far. This front is going to cause some nightmares in the east.

I'm still a bit worried about BG, I don't wanna see him go.

Any thoughts on the Foles restructuring? I find it a bit perplexing.

isn't this just a reaction to Wentz tearing the ACL and LCL and associated recovery time? his surgery was in mid December 2017 and the average recovery time is 9-12 months. it's not certain he'll be ready to play in mid August.

Akers obviously is the GOAT.

I have to say, I'm a bit surprised at some of the isolated hate from the Twitterati on this pick - getting a guy at 49 that was mocked to you at 32, had a first round grade in most spots, fills a need, and creates legit matchup issues for opposing defenses seems like a pretty big win imo, especially given some of the concerns that they specifically had with Guice's visit.
