Your Monday Morning Roundup
It looks like Reddit nailed it. Star Wars will indeed debut a trailer during Monday Night Football tonight, and mesahthinks there’s something to the rumor of Star Wars branded imagery surrounding the game. That’s fun. I like fun things. But hey– the Dark Side. And you know who’s afraid of the dark?
Eli’s afraid of the dark. If the Birds aren’t branding this the #DarkSideGame, I don’t know what they’re doing.
Let’s hit it!
But first, a word from our sponsors:
Wars. Well these shirts, available in grey, green… and a paler green, will sell themselves tonight. Get one.
More. Already have all of our shirts? Check out Philly Phaithful’s great selection.
Amazon. You probably shop there. If so, click our link as we get a small commission for referring the sale.
Tickets. I can’t stress enough how you can easily shop for the best deals on Eagles tickets at Crossing Broad Tickets.
Home. My thanks to LC Homes and Darley Green for sponsoring the site this month:
Own this for $0 down and $1,400 per month, 25 minutes from Center City. DarleyGreen.com.
Rent. Of course, if you’re not in the market to buy, but are looking for all the same thrills, you can also rent at Darley Green.
The roundup:
Scott O’Neil will consider my brilliant Shirley Temple giveaway idea. This is why I should command big money as a PR fixer. Turn a bad story around, own it, use it to your advantage. Call me, Scott. I have no conflicts of interest whatsoever in this endeavor.
A fan suffered a heart attack during the final play of Michigan-Michigan State. I’ve spent a good 10 minutes trying to decide which rooting interest would’ve been more likely to lead to a heart attack. Verdict: IDK.
Bob Nightengale reports that Royals assistant GM J.J. Picollo is now the heavy favorite for the Phils. Kim Ng we hardly knew ye.

Somewhere, Ed Snider wishes it was 70s garb.
They may be winning, but they’ll always be Mets fans:

Here’s a piece of Lincoln Financial Field pizza, sent by reader (@Furmrun):
For real, I’d almost advise you to never eat there. The game day concessions crew sucks. Never a good experience with food, lines and service. No pride. Oddly, the people manning the beer stands are top notch.
Snakes on a plane bus.

The Pope came and went without any (major) hiccups, so now it’s time to get ready for the DNC.
Jay Glazer said on noted race expert Colin Cowherd’s radio show that Chip Kelly is “just a dude from New Hampshire who drinks Coronas.” Later in the weekend, Glazer couldn’t catch a football:

Richaun Holmes needs to set himself apart in the Sixers’ pre-season games. He did yesterday:

Chip Kelly: “I don’t want the USC job.”
Everyone else: “I think Chip Kelly wants the USC job.”
The Seahawks’ DJ can’t play music from the father of Ciara’s kid because Russel Wilson would get sad.
Steve Weatherford, unemployed punter, seems to still think he’s on the Giants:

The 97.5 morning show left Weatherford a voicemail.
How does this even work?

Crazy teen climbs high buildings, takes selfies, confuses old people.
Al Michaels is not good at math, history.

The Colts tried one of the worst fake punts in history. It may have been the worst play in NFL history. Chuck Pagano is a terrible coach and should be fired. He’s ruining Andrew Luck’s harvest yield career.

Joel Embiid kicked field goals at Eagles walkthrough on a broken foot. [Satire]
Julian Edelman’s pinky does not look good.
Larry David’s Bernie Sanders is perfection.
This Greek medical staff treats players the way I imagine the mid-90s Flyers crew treated Lindros behind closed doors:

Eagles cheerleaders were on Good Morning America this morning:
Marcus Mariota is having an MRI on his injured knee.
That’s no moon. It’s a football stadium:
