QuoteA rare in-season Saturday trade: the Ravens are sending former Pro-Bowl CB Jaire Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, per sources.

Not sure what he has left in the tank but he's gotta be better than Jackson/Ringo

Carry over from the tv shows thread
Just thought this was interesting. A Philadelphia 80s/90s mafia series seems like a no brainer:

Quote36 years today on the evening of Halloween, October 31, 1989, Nicky Scarfo Jr. was dining at the oldest running Italian restaurant in the country, Dante and Luigi's, located on the corner of South 10th & Catherine Streets, in South Philadelphia, when a man wearing a Batman mask and holding a plastic Halloween candy bag entered the restaurant & approached Scarfo's corner table. The man pulled a MAC-10 machine pistol from the bag and fired at Scarfo. Scarfo was struck 8 times in the neck, arms, & torso, but no vital organs were hit. Scarfo returned home just 9 days later.
Initially, law enforcement officials believed that the hit had been ordered by 1 of the 5 Families in New York City, in an attempt to take over Philadelphia's organized crime operations, but police later said they suspected Joseph "Skinny Joey" Merlino of being the gunman, with Scarfo Jr. seen as a proxy for his father, the message being that the elder Scarfo was no longer in control of the Philadelphia crime family. Little Nicky Scarfo is considered 1 of the most violent mob bosses in the history of the American Mafia & has been described by some prosecutors as a "psychopath" with a disturbing penchant for violence, operating with a paranoid behavior & treacherous reaction to it.
Merlino has steadfastly denied any involvement, is the Junior Scarfo attempt, but Tommy Scafidi testified in 2001, that Merlino was the gunman & that Merlino's 2nd-in-command, Michael Ciancaglini drove the getaway car. Scafidi said he was asked to participate in the hit, but refused. This was confirmed by testimony from former Philadelphia crime family boss, Ralph Natale, who also turned state's evidence & said that Merlino told him about committing the crime, while they served time together in 1990. At least 1 other mobster, testifying on behalf of the government, said that soldier Peter "Pete the Crumb" Caprio also knew of the hit & attempted to prevent it. Authorities also suspected Charles "Chaz" Iannece of the attempted murder, because he delivered a controversial kiss on the cheek to Scarfo Jr., shortly before the gunman attacked.

QuoteThe Browns will not be trading Myles Garrett so the Eagles are looking at Dolphins pass rusher �Jaelan Phillips and Jets pass rusher Jermaine Johnson according to Diana Russini�

Phillips would fit in great especially with Smith coming back.

I always liked Johnson coming out of FSU. Still think there's a lot of untapped potential.

My god that bottom of the ninth had Phillies
written all over it! Clement awful first swing, great play by Kiki but Barger f'd up.

That was a massive double dagger to Toronto's heart, I can't see them winning tomorrow.
