Thanks to James Franklin and his Big Mouth, the NFL is Investigating the Eagles for Tampering (UPDATE)
I hate everything:
Specifically, the review is of the #Eagles‘ pursuit of Saquon Barkley and the #Falcons‘ pursuit of Kirk Cousins, based upon recent public comments related to each matter.

It’s so stupid. Everybody in every sport is tampering. But because a Penn State football coach blew the whistle for once (accidentally), now the Eagles are being investigated by the NFL while a wave of narc satisfaction washes over Mike Florio. This story makes me physically ill. It makes me wanna puke.
Here’s the video that started this whole thing:

I hope James Franklin goes 0-12 next year. And in solidarity, any high school athlete who calls themselves an Eagles fan should turn down a recruiting visit. Commit to Ohio State or Michigan instead.
EDIT – Saquon addressed this. I believe him! Case closed:
Saquon Barkley says it’s a misunderstanding that he spoke to Howie Roseman during the legal tampering period
