Patriots insider compares New England's rookie RB to a Philadelphia sports legend
Patriots insider compares New England's rookie RB to a Philadelphia sports legend Boston sports reporter Greg Bedard compared rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson to Eagles legend Brian Westbrook When the Philadelphia Eagles were toppled by the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 39, it left a sick feeling in all of our stomachs. When we later learned of, shall we say, the Pats' creative winning techniques, we all asked ourselves if some sort of foul play might have been afoot. That theory was tossed back and forth until Super Bowl 52, when the Birds earned some satisfying revenge. Who would have thought that, more than seven years later, New England would back Philly as an unexpected ally? The Patriots back the Eagles, and one of New England's rookies is compared to a Philly sports legend. Everyone has their fingers crossed for a successful title defense. Still, regardless of how things turn out, when the story of this season is told, the proposal to ban the tush push and the Eagles' day in court will be mentioned. Philadelphia survived said ban by two votes and a 22-10 advantage. That doubles as the final score of their Wild Card Round win over the Green Bay Packers. You can't make that stuff up. Here are the ten teams that sided with them. Let history show that, when it came down to it and the Birds needed the Pats to come through, they did (and so did some friends down in New Orleans). In New England's case, however, an occasional adversary became an ally for a day, and the legality of the Eagles' controversial play was preserved for at least one more season. Another intriguing parallel came earlier. A well-known Boston sports beat writer, Greg Bedard, recently spoke with Greg Cosell, and the legend wasted no time comparing Pats rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson to a Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame and 75th Anniversary Team member, Brian Westbrook. 'I came away feeling that they were kind of shades of Brian Westbrook in his game. He's explosive. He's a very good receiver. There's a physicality to the way he plays.' We can see it, somewhat. We'll see what happens when Henderson suits up for real NFL action because, right now, he has a long way to go before he can lay claim to being in the same class as one of the most significant chess pieces and most versatile players in pro football's history.

Former Eagles teammates share laughs as Chris Long pranks Lane Johnson with fake schedule
There's nothing like being in love with the reigning and defending Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles. It's one of those feelings that will spoil someone, especially if they're old enough to remember some gut-wrenching losses. Seeing Andy Reid's Birds lose three straight NFC Championship Games was tough. It was even tougher to watch them qualify for Super Bowl 39 and lose to the New England Patriots. That made it easy to question if the Birds would ever reach the mountaintop. Advertisement Seeing Philly win Super Bowl 57 will remain one of the happiest nights of our lives, but check them out now. The Eagles are two-time World Champions! And, thank goodness! Can you imagine where we'd be had they lost this past February? Everything may have flipped. We'd own two losses to Reid and his Kansas City Chiefs during a three-year span. Fortunately, that isn't the case. Jeffrey Lurie, Howie Roseman, and Nick Sirianni have led this organization to three Super Bowls and two Vince Lombardi Trophies in eight years. Everyone is smiling, including current and former Eagles. Two laughed while catching up during the NFL's schedule release. Lane Johnson is the victim of the prank of the century on Green Light with Chris Long. Times have changed. The only thing necessary to share media savvy is a YouTube account and, maybe, one of those ring lights people keep buying. Podcasts pop up constantly. There are nine million of them, and 90% are unwatchable and need a reboot. Advertisement Thank Heaven for Green Light with Chris Long. It's a must-watch and a production of Yote House Media. It's also named after its namesake. Chris Long is forever an Eagle, and he helped Philly win their first Super Bowl in February of 2018. During one of his most recent broadcasts, he welcomed a fellow legend, two-time champ Lane Johnson. They shared a few laughs and the prank of the century. Chris hilariously duped Lane with a fake schedule ahead of the NFL's official release. Watch the full episode below. Yep! Life is certainly more enjoyable when trips to the Super Bowl and WIN. Philly has all the tools to reach football's biggest game and win it all again. The 2025-26 Eagles schedule contains tough stretches. Don't worry. The real 17-game schedule has been released to avoid any confusion. No one has to worry about being punked again. Everything begins with the NFL's opening-night affair on Thursday, September 4th. Advertisement Wouldn't you know it? The Dallas Cowboys are the first opponent. CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons have already added gasoline to the fire surrounding this ever-continuing feud. This rivalry didn't need any more animosity, but that's okay. Dallas will walk into a buzzsaw come Week 1 of the regular season.
