The Eagles' Twitter Account Is Killing the NFL Again
We’re a couple of weeks into the NFL’s ban on videos and GIFs (unless they’re from the NFL itself) on the social media accounts for teams. It’s a backwards, bizarre, and self-sabotaging move, but they seem to be sticking to it. As they do.
Last week, @Eagles played around with a tabletop football game to make due. This week, they’ve got flipbooks:
PICKED OFF! Rodney McLeod gives the ball right back to the #Eagles. Bradford's first pick of the season. #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/yYH9XAmWKn

I’m expecting live paintings next week. It seems more doable than the NFL realizing how tremendously dumb their stance is.
