Nick Sirianni Continues To Pull Right Strings For Eagles
Nick Sirianni Continues To Pull Right Strings For Eagles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Ever since Nick Sirianni was hired as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, the outspoken leader has seemed to have strong control over the locker room. Advertisement Year after year, Sirianni has been able to handle the pulse of the roster to the point of allowing them to succeed even when adversity hit hard. It all came together last season when Sirianni's leadership helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX. At 48-20, Sirianni's .706 winning percentage is among the highest in NFL history for a coach in his first four seasons. His control of the locker room's pulse was abundantly clear during offseason workouts. In a clip of the Eagles' Unscripted documentary, Sirianni clarified the team's mindset for this season. "First I want to say, the celebration is over. OK? The celebration is over, preparation is here. Celebration is over, preparation is here," Sirianni said. "As we continued through here last year, as we came into the 2024 season there was a lot that we talked about of handling adversity. Now, it's a little different. You have to handle success, Right? It's a different animal. Right? Advertisement "You've got to handle success. Everyone right now, for the guys here, is telling you how good you are. Treat praise like perfume. Sniff it, don't drink it. It's poison." While Philadelphia is one of the youngest teams in the league, its roster is very veteran-laden. Its young players all played key roles in its Super Bowl run last season. Sirianni's ability to get his young team on the same page this early in the offseason shows that he continues to know the right ways to prepare his team for the season. And it shows why his record shows there's more to winning football games than just calling plays.

'DJ taking us to the playoffs': Indianapolis Colts' QB Daniel Jones will be trained by Jalen Hurts' offensive head coach
(Image via Getty: Daniel Jones) Jalen Hurts became an unstoppable force in his pursuit of the Super Bowl LIX title. Imagine the same kind of energy entering a different NFL player? Now add to that an open quarterback competition(with Anthony Richardson) - wouldn't it all be too good a story to tell? Too good a player to be? Oh, wait. Add Jalen Hurts' creative offensive head coach, Shane Steichen, to it. And it becomes, 'DJ taking us to the playoffs!' as rightly written by one fan. 28-year-old Indianapolis Colts' newest quarterback, Daniel Jones, is going to take the late Jim Asray's team to the playoffs. But some fans don't believe Daniel Jones can take the Indianapolis Colts to the playoffs - they say Jones shines in the offseason but crumbles during the regular season. Everybody looks like a superstar before real games are played, commented one fan for Indianapolis Colts' newest quarterback Daniel Jones An X account shared a video of Daniel Jones' classic QB throw with the caption: 'Daniel Jones leaves and instantly starts throwing nice deep balls I'm done.' Fans commented on that X post with in-chorus reactions: Yeah bro its practice hero season for him. He'll be trash or on a stretcher before September. He aint throwing Darts though Never had an issue with him throwing balls in SPRING PRACTICE like MOST QBs. Its when football actually turns into football thats his bugaboo He does this every offseason. Why we had false hope every year He always looked alright in practice but game time with pass rush he crumbled under the pressure He does this ts every year in camp The problem was never when he was in shorts He always looks solid in practice lol He always did in the off-season program and practice. Games came and he hid in his shell Everybody looks like a superstar before real games are played ! He fooled us 6 seasons in a row think I'm gonna fall for that now lmao He did this with the Giants too. The second it matters he crumbles My dude. Its practice. Danny Jones is the best minicamp qb ever That's cuz it's practice. He did that sh*t for us. Watch if he gets into actual live game action He threw nice deep balls during practice. Also, prior years before the injuries he also threw good deep balls Always threw a nice ball, in practice. his problem is processing under real game speed Always a good 'in shorts' QB Daniel Jones may shine in Indianapolis because their offensive line is better than the one he got in New York On June 19, Jeffri Chadiha of boldly predicted that Daniel Jones would win the Comeback Player of the Year. His reasons? A chance to compete for the starting quarterback position with a third-year veteran, Anthony Richardson. Richardson has been inconsistent ever since he was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts. Jones played with quarterback Sam Darnold in the Minnesota Vikings. Creative offensive head coach Shane Steichen, who turned the raw talent of Jalen Hurts into an MVP-caliber quarterback in Philadelphia, would coach Jones in Indianapolis. Steichen could maximize Jones' talent in Indianapolis because he has a better offensive line there as compared to the one he had in New York.

Travis Kelce's game slips as Taylor Swift romance fuels NFL distraction debate
Is Taylor a distraction to Kelce? (Image via Getty) Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is no stranger to the end zone—but lately, he's been making more headlines off the field than on it. With swirling speculation that his star-studded relationship with Taylor Swift is impacting his game, Kelce finds himself at a rare crossroads. Is his NFL edge wearing thin under the weight of fame, or is this just a passing slump in a storied career? All eyes are now watching. From touchdowns to tabloids — Kelce's numbers slide The 2024 season marked Kelce's lowest production in nearly a decade, recording just 823 receiving yards and only 3 touchdowns—well short of his usual 1,000+ yard standard. In Super Bowl LIX, he managed only 4 catches for 39 yards as Kansas City fell 40–22. Critics argue the dip reflects more than aging or injuries. Many point to his increasingly jet-set lifestyle, fueled by late-night events, media glare, and constant appearances with Swift. Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce — Is love hurting the game? Sources close to the couple say the two are deeply committed—but balancing an NFL grind with a global popstar's schedule hasn't been seamless. Swift's ongoing Eras Tour has meant frequent travel and less downtime for Kelce, reportedly disrupting his off-season prep. While some argue the relationship has offered emotional stability, others within NFL circles suggest it's sapped some of Kelce's trademark discipline and edge. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?

When Terry Bradshaw bragged about being a ‘sex symbol' with hair in a wild Playboy moment
Terry Bradshaw's 'sex symbol' remark in Playboy interview still turns heads today (Getty Images) Long before Terry Bradshaw became the jovial voice of FOX NFL Sunday, he turned heads in an unexpected place—Playboy magazine. It was 1980, and the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback had already carved his legacy with four Super Bowl titles. Yet, what made headlines back then wasn't a clutch pass or a trophy celebration—it was his surprisingly candid, humorous interview with a publication better known for its models than its football analysis. Terry Bradshaw's playful Playboy moment: Why he once believed he was a national 'sex symbol' Terry Bradshaw, then at the peak of his career, stunned fans by sitting down with Playboy. For a man known for his Christian values, it was a move that blended shock with comedy. At the heart of the interview was a lighthearted conversation about his hair—or the lack of it. He had done commercials for Eva Gabor's wig company in the '70s, so when asked about wearing a toupee, his response was classic Bradshaw. 'Because the people, well, uh… 'cause I love it! I do like to wear it,' he said, explaining how easy it was to clip on. 'I wear it on all the TV shows and my public appearances, stuff like that.' With the same sense of humor that has made him a TV favorite, Bradshaw went on to theatrically fetch his toupee, joking, 'Don't come in. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo I'll just stick it on. Watch me change from an ordinary feller to one of the most brilliant people. Here I go.' Once he returned, posing like a model, he declared, 'Ready or not, here it is. This is what I used to look like before I lost my hair.' When the interviewer commented on how the look must have attracted a lot of women, Bradshaw responded with cheeky confidence: 'Basically.' And when pressed further, he grinned and said, 'Basic quarterback sex symbol.' Despite his self-deprecating humor, Bradshaw admitted that compliments on his bald look were always appreciated. 'That's what my wife tells me [that bald is supposed to be sexy]. And I consider that a tremendous flattery, considering God overlooked me when he gave out looks. He gave it to all my brothers. He overlooked me.' Today, at 76, Bradshaw continues to entertain millions on FOX, often donning his signature flatcap and never missing a beat with his trademark wit. But retirement is creeping closer. Speaking to Mirror U.S. Sports during Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, he admitted he's eyeing the finish line. 'I told my wife before I left the room a while ago, I'm sitting there... I said, 'I've got two years left at FOX. I'm 76. Okay, so it's a young man's game. I get that.'' Bradshaw added, 'If we can get to the next Super Bowl, I'll be 80. That's... I think that's time. 80 years old, that's pushing it!' From quarterback sex symbol to beloved broadcaster, Terry Bradshaw's journey has always been full of surprises—and he might just have one or two more left before he finally hangs up the mic.

Bold Prediction Has Shocking Team Unseating Chiefs in the AFC
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. No matter what anyone thinks about the Kansas City Chiefs following their dismantling by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs remain the team to beat in the AFC. Patrick Mahomes and company may have won a majority of their games by one score, but they still put together a 15-2 record before the postseason. More news: Steelers Facing Potential Problem With TJ Watt's Contract Heading into the 2025 season, there are a plethora of AFC teams that might be able to finally challenge the Chiefs for conference supremacy. The Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans, and Los Angeles Chargers all theoretically have a shot at doing so. Despite the usual suspects, a new prediction believes that a shocking team will be able to unseat the Chiefs in the AFC West. Head coach Andy Reid, left, speaks to assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Dave Toub of the Kansas City Chiefs during the second half of a game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant... Head coach Andy Reid, left, speaks to assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Dave Toub of the Kansas City Chiefs during the second half of a game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on January 07, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. MoreMore news: Chiefs' Travis Kelce Heavily Disrespected in Latest Player Rankings According to NFL columnist Jeffri Chadiha, the Denver Broncos could be the team to snap the Chiefs' nine-time AFC West streak. Per his bold predictions for the 2025 season: "The Chiefs have reigned over the division since 2016 and they've barely been challenged during most of the years that quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been under center. Most of that success comes down to the Chiefs' greatness but they've also been helped plenty by the ineptitude of the teams sharing the AFC West with them. Kansas City has been led by future Hall of Fame coach Andy Reid during that entire run of dominance. Every other team in the division has had at least four different head coaches within that same stretch. That churn appears to have slowed, though, with Pete Carroll (Raiders), Jim Harbaugh (Chargers) and Sean Payton (Broncos) now working in the AFC West. "Of those three coaches -- all of whom have either reached or won the Super Bowl -- Payton is sitting on the most impressive team aside from the Chiefs. The Broncos have an elite defense, and it looks like they landed a franchise quarterback in Bo Nix in last year's draft. We know Payton can coach up the offense, especially as the Broncos add more playmakers. We've also seen how Denver gave Kansas City fits last season in Arrowhead, with a blocked field goal keeping them from securing an impressive upset. Denver is good enough to win this division now. With the other teams also creating more resistance to the Chiefs -- who went 5-1 in the AFC West after resting their starters in a Week 18 loss to the Broncos -- Denver will earn its first crown since Peyton Manning was their quarterback." The Broncos became one of the most shocking playoff teams in 2024. With rookie quarterback Bo Nix under center, many were not giving the team a chance to compete. However, they squeaked into the postseason with a 10-7 record. Nix is going to be far more in command of the offense, and Sean Payton knows how to coach. That is a winning combo for a team that showcased a young core and dynamic playmaking capabilities. That's not to mention the other stars on the team like recently acquired running back J.K. Dobbins, Courtland Sutton, Evan Engram, Dre Greenlaw, Pat Surtain II, and more. There are solid playmakers on both sides of the ball, and the Broncos are expected to be even more refined. While it will be hard to believe that Denver can take the division, it is not out of the realm of possibility. For more on the Chiefs and NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.
