Sam Bradford spent all of last season fighting to win over the hearts and minds of Eagles fans. It didn’t work. He tried to win over the media*. It didn’t work. He tried to win over the team. It seemed to work on the players, but not so much the higher-ups. He got a new contract out of it, but now that the Eagles have traded up to #2 to draft a QB, Bradford is understandably not happy about.
“He’s hot,” one source told Adam Schefter, putting the dramatic pause in the wrong spot. “Who wouldn’t be? This is Philly saying, ‘We don’t see (you) as long-term answer.’ He’s mad and wants to show everyone who’s best.”
He can go out and “show everyone who’s best” all he wants, but a career year for him – anything short of an elite level performance – would still maybe only buy him an extra season with his history. The writing is on the sleeves wall, and it’s signed by Howie Roseman.
*The same media that mostly tore Bradford apart – which is fine, it’s kinda their job – spent all of yesterday’s Howie Roseman presser asking questions like “What about Sam?” and “Did you tell Sam?” and “Does Sam need someone to talk to? I’m always here if he needs someone.”

Great story. Compelling, and rich.
Classic Jim
Well, you read it.
Just doing what I do best.
F@CK that C@NT, Bradford!
Please run that b@tch out of town.
Who really cares what Sam Bradford thinks? If he had done his job better last season, Howie wouldn’t have traded up for the number 2 pick in the draft to select his replacement.
If he had done his job better last season, Kelly would probably still be here and Howie would still be counting jock straps.
This is the most ridiculous draft pick trade in the history of the NFL, the Eagles are going to be screwed and feel this burn for the next 3 years. Absolutely no reason, what so ever to trade 5 picks over 3 years for anyone in the history of all drafts, except a joe flacco or a ray lewis.
This is an embarrassment!
nah, you’re wrong about that. It was basically 3 picks they gave up (they got a 4th round in return and swapped first rounders). YOU are an embarrassment. Get back to xbox, leave the sports talk to adults.
The stupid. It burns.
Pav, you need to get a clue homie
I’m upset.
There’s no time to wallow in the mire
I had his baseball card
Fuck him. Two days ago he says “I’m not paying any attention to that” and now he’s mad? Fuck you, you fucking pussy….
Bradford Mad? Bradford IS Mad.
Linguo dead?
Linguo IS dead.
I 100% agree with Sam. I’m livid. If he didn’t SUCK so much, then we would not be forced to do this trade. Maybe if he went to the playoffs once it would be different. He hasn’t even gone .500 for a season. What a clown
My dad is a dumbass
Why would I ever come to your Quizzo night?
BBBJ, CIM in the back room?
not sure this is a great peck for the eagles. but thanks for the call frank, you’re in the mex.
Tell Sammy to look at his checking account and cheer up! LOSER
Fuck you Jim
I don’t understand how Schilling was able to hide a bunch of money after going bankrupt. He clearly has plenty of money as he finally got his wish and is gone from ESPN. That gig had to be paying nicely.
All Bradford gotta do. is prove he is future quarterback fuck the media or draft work on what he could not do b cuz of his injury my opinion I think he is gonna shit on every body I believe he will do it don’t forget the players in that eagles team love Bradford
