Here you stare at the assembled media as they sit(!) at the Novacare Complex and watch the first open Eagles practice of the Chip Kelly era. You’ll notice Tim McManus in the foreground, Les Bowen and Rich Hoffman behind him, John Gonzalez, John Clark, and even the sweater vest G Cobb wore in his car cam video. They enthusiastically watched as Kelly showed off his funhouse on the field.

What’s different? Well, for starters, reporters are now allowed to sit on the concrete bleachers (a real treat!), something that was outlawed under Andy Reid. There are no huddles anymore– huddles are for the weary. And now practice includes a soundtrack that appears to be a strange hybrid of Jock Jams and Now, Volume 602…

… and a recorded voice instructing players where to go next like something out of a futuristic Tom Cruise movie: 

Frightening. Eery. Awesomely ridiculous, Chip’s funhouse is.

Kelly spoke with the media after practice and already dropped goofy scientific shit… some of which actually makes sense:

Why the music in practice?

“There’s a lot of science behind it. I got 12 minutes left in this thing, so I can’t really get into the details.”

I think he was serious.

On the short bursts of up-tempo practicing:

“Football is really an anaerobic sport, when you look at it. Hard 5-6 seconds, take a break.”

Annnnnd with those two quotes Chip Kelly just explained the gym habits of Jersey Shore cast members. Or a very sad sex life. Next up for Eagles players: tanning, laundry.
