Brandon Graham recalls one of his standout moments from the Eagles vs Cowboys rivalry
To everyone in the Philadelphia Eagles organization, locker room, and fan base, they were known as the core four: Brandon Graham, Jason Kelce, Fletcher Cox, and Lane Johnson. These were four long-time veterans who had been around forever and played their entire careers in Philly. These are legends. Each one is the author of a unique story. Tales about these guys could take hours to tell. Jason, Fletch, and B.G. are the only Birds who played for Andy Reid, Chip Kelly, Doug Pederson, and Nick Sirianni. Lane joined the nest during Chip's coaching era. Advertisement Graham, the first player Howie Roseman drafted, finally called it a career after 15 seasons and a second Super Bowl win, leaving Johnson as the lone remaining Core Four member. B.G. recently joined the highly popular Good Morning Football show. An Eagle through and through, when the conversation shifted to one of his favorite moments, his thoughts turned to bringing down a Dallas Cowboys signal-caller. Brandon Graham shares a standout memory from the Eagles and Cowboys rivalry As days trickle off the calendar and we move further away from the most recent NFL Draft, we've spent time thinking about this new ten-man 2025 draft class. We've also thought about the undrafted rookie free agents that were added and some of our favorite memories of past selection meetings. Two of those memories involve troll jobs by former Birds B.G. and David Akers while introducing new Eagles draftees. One of the many reasons Graham endeared himself to Eagles fans was that he embraced the magnitude of Philadelphia's rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys. So, when asked about playing vs. one of Philly's top rivals, it should surprise no one that he mentioned an opportunity to bury Dak Prescott. We have many fond memories of Eagles wins over the Cowboys, but B.G. is right. This one is a classic. While seeing Philly play without 55 will undoubtedly take some getting used to, we can offer him enough thanks to last a lifetime. Advertisement Nothing will ever top seeing him strip Tom Brady in Super Bowl 52. This one warms our hearts, though. Every victory over Dallas and the moments that helped those wins occur will always hold special meaning.

B.G.'s new album released despite court-ordered review
With B.G.'s release from prison, the New Orleans rapper wanted to make sure his latest album gave fans as much of an inside view as he could to its making. Why it matters: The new tracks were produced under court-ordered review, which makes their production a fascinating case for the First Amendment. "It challenged me to really still try to be myself," he says. "But at the same time, it's hard trying to please the streets, please your fans and please the court." The album, out now, is (not by coincidence) titled "Freedom of Speech." What he's saying:"We saw 2 Live Crew and NWA go through that 30 years ago and fight censorship," B.G. tells Axios New Orleans, "and we're still saying that rap is pretty much on trial." Catch up quick: B.G. rose to fame in the 1990s as part of the New Orleans rap group the Hot Boys, a star-packed crew that also included Juvenile, Lil Wayne and Turk. In 2012, he was sentenced to spend more than a decade in federal prison on gun charges and obstruction of justice. He was released in 2023, but arrested the following year for violating parole when he performed with Boosie in Las Vegas, where B.G. was living. When he was re-released, a judge ruled his new music must be reviewed before fans could hear it, lest it promote "future gun violence/murder," The Guardian reported, quoting prosecutors in the case. B.G.'s case has been cited as part of a broader story of prosecutors pointing to rap lyrics as court evidence, much like the recent trial of Atlanta rapper Young Thug. The trend was characterized as a "racially targeted practice" in a 2022 letter signed by many of music's heavy hitters including Drake, Megan Thee Stallion, Christina Aguilera and dozens of other artists and labels. How it works: Before any release, B.G. says, he turns his raps over to his probation officer. "If the prosecutor feels like I'm going too hard or if I'm name dropping and talking about active cases and real individuals and real life situations, then he could file a motion to bring me back in front the judge," B.G. says. As a result, B.G. says, "it definitely made me dial it back a little bit." Zoom in: Still, B.G. pulled together an entire new album, " Freedom of Speech," and released a documentary to go along with it. "I … wanted to take back the narrative to my story and just let my fans know and see first-hand everything I went through to even be able to drop this album," he says. It was "a perfect setup for the album and just to let people understand why exactly I named the album that." Yes, but: B.G. hopes the court-ordered review is over sooner rather than later. If nothing changes, his probation ends Jan. 31, 2026, he says, but he hopes a motion to end it by July comes through with an approval. What's next: B.G. has new projects on track for release throughout this year, including albums with Mike Will Made It and Boosie. He's also stockpiling music for when he doesn't have a court-mandated review between him and its release. Oh, and that Hot Boys reunion? B.G. says new music is coming there, too, but likely not until 2026. "It's a beautiful feeling just to be able to, after all these years, still sell out arenas with the dudes you came in it with," he says. "It reminded me that the music we did passed the test of time."

Fans concerned as Birdman appears to fall asleep standing on stage—Viral video sparks reactions
Birdman is trending after a viral video appeared to show him dozing off on stage during the Hot Boys reunion tour in North Carolina on February 23. The clip, which has been widely shared on social media, captured the rapper standing motionless with his head down and holding onto a microphone while fellow group member Turk performed. B.G., another member of the Hot Boys, noticed Birdman's stillness and tapped him on the shoulder, laughing as he tried to wake him up. Birdman eventually continued with the performance, but the moment left fans speculating about his condition. Birdman appears to fall asleep on stage during a performance, causing B.G. to have to check on him. — No Jumper (@nojumper) February 25, 2025 The video quickly sparked reactions, with one X user writing, "Check on our legends while they are here!!" Another questioned, "What happened to that boy…..", while some speculated a possible health issue, with one comment reading, "I think that's seizure." Bro's battery died. 😂 — Mostly Honest Liar (@DominicRoberty) February 25, 2025 Check on our legends while they are here ‼️ — Coffee ☕️ (@GeeBoyHajjj) February 25, 2025 Others were more skeptical, suggesting something else might have been going on. "Birdman not flying in that weather," one user joked. Another commented, "He might be on stage physically, but his head is way up there in the clouds." Another fan added, "This n**a had a relapse, he ain't fall asleep."* Yeah, sure, fell asleep. — Spear 🇺🇸 (@Byerocm) February 26, 2025 He might be on stage physically but his head is way up there in the clouds — REESE (@TDHMF) February 25, 2025 This nogga had a RELAPSE he ain't fall asleep 🤣 — Nestradaumus (@Nestradaumus1) February 26, 2025 This isn't the first time Birdman has made headlines during the reunion tour. At a Florida show on February 21, Lil Wayne was seen cutting him off mid-speech, urging him to move on by saying, "Alright, let's go, let's go, let's go." The Hot Boys' reunion has been a long time coming, with previous delays due to past tensions between members. While Birdman has not addressed the viral moment, fans continue to debate whether he was truly asleep or if something else was at play. The Hot Boys tour is set to conclude on February 28 in St. Louis, with Juvenile, B.G., and Turk all joining Birdman on stage for the final shows.
