Michael Irvin:

Irvin keeps talking up the Eagles. He’s done this multiple times in recent months, using the word “dynasty” to describe a team that went 9-8 last year and now he’s calling them a Super Bowl sleeper. It’s borderline uncomfortable, and maybe that’s the simplest explanation here. It’s Occam’s Razor? Maybe Irvin is just trying to create discomfort among Eagles nation.

I wrote this back in May:

Maybe this is just Michael Irvin doing some kind of reverse psychology in an attempt to hex the Birds. Pigskin voodoo, like a grotesque, Drake-inspired curse. A former Eagle rival is going to pump up the Birds in hopes of jinxing it and damning us to a 7-10 season, or worse.

It’s weird. I don’t know what to make of Irvin’s newfound Eagles love, but it’s uncomfortable. I don’t like it.
