If you missed it on Saturday night, Derrick Gunn, who was INEXPLICABLY let go by NBC Sports Philadelphia, reported that Jalen Hurts is out for today’s game:

Then, on Sunday morning, Jeff McLane at the Philadelphia Inquirer offered up this regarding the starting QB position:

Different verbiage there, but more in line with what Adam Schefter reported. Will it be Minshew Mania today in The Meadowlands? We’ll find out soon.

Honestly, I’m more interested in two different tweets. I’m interested in this one first:

I can answer this question.

The Inquirer doesn’t report on other people’s reports. They don’t do the standard aggregation that you find at CB, Philly Voice, SB Nation, blah blah. I am 99% sure this is the reasoning (but if I’m wrong, the Inquirer folks can let me know onTwitter, the same way that Jim Salisbury’s 15 producers came after me). The Inquirer typically will have one of their own people do their own story or file their own report, and then go off of that. You’re not gonna get a story from Scott Lauber with a headline of “Report: Matt Gelb says the Phillies are gonna go dumpster diving at the trade deadline.”

There’s also this, from Marcus Hayes:

Not a controversial thing, but interesting to see a current Inky writer call out his employer on Twitter. So Marcus instead reaches out on his own to a pair of guys who just took buyouts from the same newspaper, and decides to replicate the content offering on social media instead. It’s interesting.

Is it…

Could it be…

are we trending toward…

Newspaper Wars?
