Why won't Jalen Hurts wear the Super Bowl LIX ring? Philadelphia Eagles' QB explains.
If there were any doubts after no photographic evidence of the Philadelphia Eagles' franchise quarterback wearing his Super Bowl LIX ring during last week's reveal, he affirmed it Wednesday at training camp.

A.J. Brown offers elite praise to another of the Eagles' wide receivers
Terrace Marshall turned a few heads at Eagles training camp, and he caught the eye of Philly's top wide receiver. The Philadelphia Eagles' first training camp practice was abbreviated. Everyone still found much to discuss, however. Select media members were allowed a 20-minute Q&A session with Nick Sirianni and Howie Roseman. Players spoke with those same media members after the workout. A.J. Brown was up first. Need anything else to be stated? You may have heard. Brown is a big deal around town. He's a Super Bowl champion now, one who the cameras tend to follow. He's someone the national media can't stop talking about. Much of what Brown does catches the spotlight. Look at what he did for one author's book sales after he elected to read it on the sidelines during the most recent season. Be honest. Brown is why most of you know what Inner Excellence is, so imagine what he might do for the buzz of one of the newer faces at wide receiver. A.J. Brown offers an elite complement to Eagles newcomer Terrace Marshall Brown, Jordan Mailata, Saquon Barkley, and Jalen Hurts all spoke with the Philadelphia media on Wednesday. Their star left tackle, Mailata, had some kind words for Jalyx Hunt. Number 11 shared some of his own for one of the Eagles' new wide receivers. 'He's coming along quite well, honestly. Even in the spring, he was making a lot of catches. I know you guys didn't see it, but he's going to make the room very uncomfortable, and that's a great thing.' Marshall truly made a name for himself in his Eagles training camp debut. He indeed made things uncomfortable, particularly for Kelee Ringo, but as Brown states, this is indeed a good thing. Competition will only make this team better. Marshall hails from the LSU Tigers program. He spent his first three years with the Carolina Panthers before splitting time with the San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders last season and now looks to reinvigorate his career in the City of Brotherly Love.

Saints coach Kellen Moore still hasn't received his Eagles Super Bowl ring
'Nick (Sirianni) FaceTimed me and gave me a lot of crap for not being there' Kellen Moore played a big part in the Philadelphia Eagles' successful 2024 season and exciting victory in Super Bowl LIX, but he hasn't yet received the unique winged championship ring that other members of that team now call their own. According to the first-year head coach of the New Orleans Saints, his old boss Nick Sirianni said if he hadn't left for a new job this offseason, he'd have it already. "I have not gotten it yet, but I've seen pictures," Moore grinned, speaking with the media before Saints training camp started this week. "I didn't make it (to the ring presenting ceremony on July 18) but Nick FaceTimed me and gave me a lot of crap for not being there." Maybe they'll FedEx it to him. The Saints and Eagles won't cross paths this year unless they meet in the playoffs, but they could play in Philadelphia in 2026 if both teams finish in the same place within their divisions in 2025. If that's the case, the Saints will play visitors against the Eagles in back-to-back years with another road game scheduled for 2027. That could give Moore enough time to rebuild the roster with his own players, and maybe get one over on Sirianni. We'll see.

Eagles camp opens with a wake-up call for Kelee Ringo
Day 1 of Eagles training camp practice was a rough one for veteran DB Kelee Ringo. Since March, it has been billed as one of the top training camp battles to monitor during the Philadelphia Eagles' summer. Who will win the starting cornerback job across the formation from Quinyon Mitchell? Darius Slay is gone. So is Isaiah Rodgers and Avonte Maddox. That makes guys like Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown the elder statesmen. Mitchell impressed as a rookie. He and Cooper DeJean were finalists for the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. They'll both start. DeJean will handle slot duty, which begs the question. Who will handle starting duties at the other outside position? The front-runners are Adoree' Jackson and Kelee Ringo. Jackson comes to Philadelphia after a four-year run with the rival New York Giants. The latter enters year three, hoping to finally crack the Eagles' starting lineup. Day 1 of Eagles camp offers some early adversity for Kelee Ringo It's okay to be a tad rusty when training camp begins. Heck, those are the types of kinks that camp is supposed to work out, but everyone wants to put their best foot forward. Unfortunately, most of the Kelee Ringo mentions have come for negative reasons. Cayden Steele offered a detailed explanation of some tough sledding at practice. Here's what was provided on the topic of conversation. "Toward the end of the Eagles' first training camp practice on Wednesday, cornerback Kelee Ringo expressed his frustration by smacking his hands together. He was in good position on wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. near the left sideline, but he couldn't knock it away from Marshall's hands and gave up his third big catch of the day." While it's great to hear that Terrace Marshall has put on a show, someone has to be on the other end of those highlight-reel moments. Unfortunately for Mr. Ringo, he provided a couple of the assists. "During the team's first seven-on-seven session, Marshall ran past Ringo down the right sideline and snagged quarterback Tanner McKee's accurate deep ball for a touchdown, the first play Ringo allowed. On the second big catch, Ringo had tight coverage on A.J. Brown, but he lost the rep when quarterback Jalen Hurts placed the back-shoulder ball out of his reach. Nine-year veteran Adoree' Jackson subbing in for Ringo afterwards was notable, and it will be interesting to see who starts tomorrow." Losing on a rep to A.J. Brown is hardly a cause for concern. It has happened to many of the game's greats. It is, however, interesting that we're discussing lost reps vs. Terrace Marshall, who, at best, will be the fourth or fifth wide receiver on Philly's depth chart... and that's if he's fortunate enough to win a roster spot. All of this is hardly cause for concern. Again, it's day one of camp. The expectation is that Ringo will settle in. As Steele puts it, he was never "egregiously beaten on his three losses". This allows him to fine-tune some things and sharpen his skills. This is the best shot he has had at winning a starter's role since his arrival, and no one expects a tough start to make him crumble under some adversity.

Jalen Hurts puts Eagles' championship season to bed with a powerful statement
Jalen Hurts closes the book on Philly's title run in the most 'Jalen Hurts way' possible. B.G. and Jalen Hurts are all smiles, and deservingly so.. Please accept my apologies if the following statement sounds repetitive. It has, without question, been described more than once on this platform by the same author. For the sake of argument, however, it certainly bears repeating because the disrespect tossed in the Philadelphia Eagles' direction has gone on long enough, especially that about Jalen Hurts and his skill set. The disrespect has gone on long enough. We have long gotten used to Chris Simms' diatribes. It's almost as if he would rather be stubborn. Cam Newton's recent take was a little more surprising, but again, criticism of Hurts isn't something we haven't heard before. At this point, it feels like he could win three Super Bowls and still wouldn't get his proper due. But, not so fast, friends, as the great Lee Corso would say. Could we discuss some positive feedback about Jalen Hurts? Jalen Hurts places championship glory and recent accolades to bed as the Eagles march into another season. Take emotion out of the argument for a second if you knew nothing about Jalen Hurts and had only his resume to grade him on. Where would he stand when ranked among his peers? He has won over 64% of his regular-season starts. He has won six of his nine postseason starts, including the most recent Super Bowl. He was the game's MVP last February. Twice, despite losing the first head-to-head matchup, he outplayed the greatest QB of our generation on football's biggest stage. He enters the current campaign as a champion. Don't tell Hurts that. Those pretty Super Bowl rings that they just received? It appears Hurts won't be wearing his for a while. Scroll through some of those pictures of the celebration again. We have yet to find any flicks of Hurts wearing his ring. The message was loud and clear. He has turned the page and doesn't want any distractions or reminders of last year. Jalen Hurts is keeping the main thing the main thingJust put the damn ring on, kid! Following the Eagles' first training camp practice, he was asked about his experience of receiving some new hardware and his decision not to try it on when players were made available for the media. "It was honestly surreal to see it in person. Almost, not nostalgic, but to see something that you've earned, have a moment to appreciate that one last time, (it was) kind of overdue, in terms of what it was supposed to be originally. It was a moment, and that moment's behind us.' One last time? What does he mean by that? It appears we don't have to speculate about the answer. "I've moved on to the new year. It's as simple as that... It's behind me" Let's be honest. Who is shocked by that response? It's year six for Jalen Hurts. He's a lot richer than when we first met him. He's older. He's wiser. He still has his supporters and his doubters, but he has beaten Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Matthew Stafford. Think about that. Another Eagles season looms. There's another chance for Hurts to prove his mettle. Keep doubting him. You're going to wake up one day with him as league MVP.
