He’s not lying. First time I met Tyler was at a @Brewers game!
More #Brewers talk from the #Bucks. This time from Tyler Herro, who grew up a fan of the Crew. He calls the overlap of being traded back home and seeing the run to a #WorldSeries “surreal” and “unimaginable.” Talked about his favorite Brewers memories growing up, including a shoutout to guys like Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder and T-Plush.

No secret where the Cowboys think the Eagles are vulnerable if you watch where they are running the ball.

Asked Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson yesterday about Mike Gansey: “I still can’t get over how nice a person he is. I didn’t know people like that existed, like, in the world.” Read loooots more about Gansey’s journey below!👇🏻
Ahead of the Sixers’ home opener, went deep into the journey of new lead exec Mike Gansey, who went from taking notes during middle-of-the-night college games to pulling off the Sixers’ transformational offseason. “It’s really easy to like Mike Gansey” inquirer.com/sixers/mike-gan…

Most unhinged part of Willard’s rant is he thinks people click on stories about Villanova
Kevin Willard unplugged on Villanova exiting the Big 5 series 😳 "Unfortunately, it really wasn't a Villanova decision. Either you wrote a really poor article, or people can't read your article. But we wanted it. We thought we had a deal. I think you need to talk to the Temple AD and get your stories right. Because this was not a Villanova thing... Either people are illiterate, which I don't think they are, or you're just a bad writer." "We wanted to be in it, we did everything to do it. Talk to Temple. Talk to those guys. It wasn't Villanova." 🎥: @thecenterhub_bb

He was right there for the Eagles at No. 32. didn't get it then, don't get it now
Luther Burden has only run 68.8% of the routes this season. Ripping off an elite 2.56 yards per route run. Perhaps the Coke Kmet injury reduces rate of 2- and 3-sets, giving Burden even more juice.

Grind is a tough thing to quantify. But it is a big thing, one that can force multiply a player who is “only” very good into one who is actually pretty great. Maybe Jaylen Brown is the Big Analytic. Maybe the numbers' performance should be measured by him share.inquirer.com/Nbj4x6

Britain Covey: "I think it's very telling that Jalen and his team are collaborating with the Eagles organization on all their posts. I think that speaks volumes on how they think the situation was handled. ...But I love our medical staff. Everyone does here. We have a lot of faith in them."
Britain Covey is the Eagles' new NFLPA rep. (An interesting year for the new role...) Here's Covey on the NFLPA asking for an investigation re: Jalen Hurts: "At the end of the day, that's the NFLPA's job. I don't think anyone shoudl be surprised by it. But I don't think it means — the word 'investigation' carries a lot of weight. I'm excited to have a call with them this week and talk about it. But I think regardless of the circumstance, I think they were going to do an investigation. It's kind of like what Roger Goodell said, actually: Everyone will welcome it — including the Eagles. I don't know anything. It's not like the NFLPA has a stance yet. But I'm not surprised by it. I don't think anyone is."

Mike Boryla has never watched Jalen Hurts play. The former Eagles QB can't watch football because of his PTSD. But he's followed Hurts' career and admires him. And while Boryla suffered from concussions - not blood clots - he has a message for the QB: inquirer.com/eagles/mike-bor…

In Todd Monken's four years with the Ravens, his running backs averaged 5.1 yards per carry. This year with the Browns, Monken's RBs are averaging 3.4 yards per carry. We can talk about Mannion and Eagles scheme all we want, but its usually the Jimmys and Joes
