DeMarco Murray Complained About Chip Kelly and Then Got Demoted

By now, we’ve already heard a couple of different versions of the DeMarco Murray/Jeffrey Lurie conversation that did or didn’t happen. We had DeMarco complaining, that there was no conversation that was just the plane seating chart, and whatever other nonsense Chip tried to use to explain it away. Now, Ian Rappppopopopopoprt says that DeMarco specifically complained about Chip and Duce Staley to the owner:
“As for his talk with Jeffrey Lurie, my understanding is he didn’t approach Chip Kelly for the same talk because he didn’t think Chip was as approachable … which, of course, represents a bigger problem. Murray has not made a ton of friends in the Eagles’ locker room, this rubs some people the wrong way, especially this week. So it’s worth considering what role he will have going forward.”
In response, I imagine Chip and Duce had a meeting that went something like this: “Unapproachable? He thinks we’re unapproachable? Well let’s just make the ball unapproachable for him this week.” DeMarco has reportedly been demoted to fourth string RB for today’s game. That’ll show him how approachable Chip is.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
