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.
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.
