McNabb didn't "choke" in the Superbowl. And give Andy a break about mismanaging the clock when he did everything else he possibly could to coach the Avengers into nearly defeating Thanos without any deus ex machina bull shit.

Just pure gumption and genius coaching. But nothing beats Brady and Bellichek when Gronk and Brady are in sync. Even as a fucking AARP member with the fucking Tampa Bay Rays he's still formidable and a regular contender for the Superbowl today.

In the 90's The trio was an unstoppable force that just plowed up and down the field and every possession ended in a TD.

The 2004 Eagles kept up with Brady.

And that hall of fame defense fucked him up like the spirit of Reggie White possessed them. They made him cry and throw a tantrum and got dirt on his uniform. And turf in his face mask. Hitting and hurrying Brady almost every down against the very best offensive line money and guaranteed Superbowl rings can buy.

And fucking Brady just got even better.

And yet. And yet with Terrell Owens on a broken leg playing half speed yet doing outrageous plays and a nervous McNabb playing extremely competently using his legs and working well with Westbrook doing his magic and Owens showboating, Andy Reid almost did it. He almost got his offense to keep up with Brady and slow Brady down enough to give Donovan a chance to win.

But McNab let the pressure get to him at the end and stopped having fun. And began to hesitate and second guess instead of just instinctively having fun and playing at his usual superhuman level.

He just got nervous. Probably for the first time in his life. A real chance to beat Brady! And win the Superbowl for Philly at last! With his favorite teammates and coach Andy Reid! (Andy Reid is what Joe Paterno pretended to be.)

Donovan McNabb got nervous because only Tom Brady wouldn't get nervous at the thought of facing Brady let alone hoping to beat him in the Superbowl when he was playing top of his game. So Donovan "choked" and made some shit plays at the end there. But up till then he had danced up and down the field vs the Patriots defense and kept up with Brady blow for blow. McNabb was beautiful that day.

Andy Reid was on his game too and against all odds almost lead the Avengers to victory against Brady.

But Brady and Bellicheck with Gronk on his game is absolutely invincible. Just an unstoppable force where you are hoping for a failed 1st down run and and short second to make for a long third and then some kind of miracle stop or on third and long. The best defense was to try and draw fouls. Because you can't stop the guy. You just have to slow him down and hope for one or pray for two bad throws this 3rd down.

Like, third and thirty five was difficult but doable most possessions.

Eagles actually hit that smug father fucker a whole bunch on his way up and down the field. It didn't stop him. But it was hella fun to watch as my team almost beat Brady in his prime, but nothing could ever beat Brady in his prime. Even on his bad days he was nothing short of perfect and intelligent and creative and instinctual that borders on godlike.

I hate his guts and I just don't know why. He seems hella nice. He's too good looking and dates a model but good for him on all of that. I'm happy to see decent guys win the lottery. But I still don't like him. Such is life. I wish him well in everything but football. Get sacked Brady.

But yeah, no body, no matter how well prepared, trained and superhuman can be perfect for the entire Superbowl. You are going to lose some possessions without having scored.

The Eagles were a true Super Bowl team. Any other decade they would have won any Super Bowl against any team outside of the 2000's Patriots. They made every offensive line in the NFL look silly and picked off future hall of famers every other down.

The Lombardi Trophy belonged to Brady back then. Pure and simple. It was just who is going to lose spectacularly in the Super Bowl after playing big fish in a small pond till now.

Eagles almost beat Brady in his prime, but nothing can keep up with a demigod.

I submit that the 2004 Eagles were a feat of genius by Andy

He was able to cobble together a really good team around his star QB and other key players who are all hall of famers now. And I don't know how he snatched up Owens. Owens was amazing. He just had a big mouth and was a showboat. He backed up every boast too and made the greatest future hall of famer DBs miss every single time. And everyone loved it. Except the fucking racist NFL.

Andy managed to cobble together this amazing 2004 Eagles team and got them working together even though they didn't like each other at first and help them run together so well that he almost took this army of reject NFL superheroes up against Thanos and won.

He had a Lawful Good Deadpool instead of Captain America leading the charge. And Neutral Good Don't Give A Fuck Decent Guy Deadpool With a sharpie up his sleeve carving up the captains of Thanos. And Mysteriously unknown preternatural undersized Black Panther Westbrook conducting acrobatic feats y'all wouldn't believe today. Even still that man's shit was like watching Black Panther dance around dealing broken ankles and first downs out of third and long every time McNabb got in trouble.

Even the Avengers can't beat 2000s Brady.

Give McNabb and Andy Reid their due respect. They almost did the impossible together. Don't give them such trash about minor little lapses in perfection. You aren't the God of Noah.

You are an Eagles Fan! And you cheered through fucking Buddy Ryan's bullshit. Andy Reid and McNabb almost took down Brady in his prime! You should celebrate that team!

#ph4wg #ph4wg original #2004 Eagles #Donovan McNabb #Terrell Owens #Brian Westbrook #Andy Reid #The only Superbowl where the Eagles weren't robbed by the refs #Nobody can beat Brady #fuck Tom Brady #Tom Brady is the GOAT #Why God? #Nobody can be Brady #Except Eli Manning #snort #Archies goofball son beat Brady with the fucking New York Giants and Michael Strahan #google eli manning at the beach #THAT guy beat Brady looking like that #i think I'm always mad at myself because i compare myself to the Bradys of this world when I'm just a Terrell Owens #when you compare yourself to perfection you are going to need therapy #when you are measuring how much closer to Brady level you are #how far you still have to go #instead of concentrating on how far you've come #life is about growth and change #life is not about perfection or attempting to get closer to it #that's what's fucking us up #grading everything and everyone against perfect

In no particular order, my top looks from the 2023 Met Gala "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line in Beauty"

My thoughts are below, but I'll be honest, I didn't really do any background research this year because there wasn't much to be done. These are really just my opinions on whether or not I liked the look.

Ironically, I felt this was a very mediocre year, which led to me having a lot more favorites than usual because they were kind of all on the same level. In previous years I would have separated this into multiple posts, but I don't really see the point.

Doja Cat: I wanted someone to dress up as Choupette the cat and she delivered, and managed to do so in a way that was still fitting for the event

Keke Palmer: She looked amazing, and really captured the Chanel look with the bombshell hair and the extremely bedazzled tweed. I honestly don't want to think about how much that dress weighed

Anne Hathaway: Besides that fact that I love everything Anne Hathaway has ever done, this dress was the perfect combination of honoring Lagerfeld's style while also incorporating it into the style of the brand she was representing (Versace). It had tweed and pearls, but also sex appeal and safety pins

Cardi B: First, I just want to appreciate her ongoing commitment to high fashion and the fact that she had three (3) completely separate looks. This particular Miss Sohee look was my favorite because she's living out my glinda barbie mermaid fairy princess dreams

Harvey Guillen: This was one of the first looks I saw of the night, and still one of my favorites. It has all the Lagerfeld style essentials, but still manages to look unique. Plus, creative menswear always gets extra points because the bar is painfully low, though this year was a surprisingly pleasant exception.

Jennifer Lopez: It's not the most creative look, but it's right up my alley and honestly, do we expect anything groundbreaking from JLo? She's always going to show up in something pretty that's decently on theme enough for me to just focus on whether or not I like it. And this immediately makes me think of classic Chanel.

Penelope Cruz: She was a co-host, it's vintage Chanel couture from the 80's, and she's one of the people I most heavily associate with Lagerfeld and Chanel. A win all around.

Russell Westbrook: I really want to give Russell Westbrook credit for always showing up to the Met Gala and really going for it. I love all the details: the pearl necklace, the tweed blazer with floral clasps, the bows on the shoes

Chloe Fineman: Another first look that turned out to be a favorite. This again had all the necessary design elements without feeling like a cheap knockoff. Also major points for the bedazzled cat bag.

Anok Yai: I don't know and I don't care how this relates to theme, she looked like a goddess

Bad Bunny: Another man not only doing something interesting but incorporating the theme? Genuinely shocking. Obviously I loved the OTT floral cape, but I really loved the ode to c. 2005 Chanel with the backless suit and backwards necklace.

Gisele: She wore the same dress from an iconic 2007 editorial, proving not only that she still has it, but that she's always had it. A true supermodel.

Salma Hayek: She looked hot, I don't know what else you want me to say about it. Also it had color, which nothing else did. My eyes were starving for color.

Glenn Close: For starters, she needed an entire team to carry her train so props for that. She brought the drama, the glitz, and the "age is just a number so shut the hell up" glamor.

Lil Nas X: This was, for lack of a better phrase, a cheeks out, bedazzled, balls to the wall look. The Choupette inspiration is more obvious when he was inside with the fur (ish?) coat on, but I honestly didn't care. I needed a moment and he delivered. Though I do wonder (1) how long it took to bedazzle him and (2) will he every fully be de-glittered.

Brian Tyree Henry: I don't know if it's the pose or the cape, but it's giving me dramatic shakespeare vibes and I appreciate it.

Naomi Campbell: The only issue I have with this look is that they called 2010 Chanel Couture "vintage" and I can't accept that. Beyond that, I mean, it's Naomi Campbell in Chanel Couture. I was also dying for any semblance of color at this point and somehow this dress was among the most colorful

Jenna Ortega: The perfect combination of chanel tweed cropped blazer/mini skirt and the Wednesday Addams aesthetic. Which was interesting because I thought she was trying to move away from that but I don't care it was a successful look

Ava Max: Chanel was known for the haute couture bride, and this not only really captures that, it was one of the most and quite honestly only majorly dramatic looks of the night

Halle Bailey: She looked like a mermaid and I love that for her

Ashley Graham: I would have loved this look regardless, but after seeing the dress it was modeled after, I also think it was one of the best tributes of the night

Tems: Has she ever looked bad on a red carpet? Her headpieces are just getting bigger and more elaborate and I see nothing wrong with that.

Diddy: I love the drama + the floral cape, though I am left wondering how he didn't faint under all of that. Also, you can roast me all you want for captioning his post with Sean Combs but that's what was given to the AP so it's what I went with.

Shai Gilgeous Alexander: A final man who followed the theme and wore something interesting, arguably more interesting than some of the women. I actually think I like this look better without the coat over it.

Old October Tales: The Gatton Murders

October 23, 2022

In the town of Gatton, west of Brisbane and the capital of what was known then as the Colony of Queensland in Australia, the Murphy family owned a farm at Blackfellow’s Creek. 

Michael and his brother Daniel Murphy had both left Gatton, Michael working on a government farm near Westbrook and Daniel was a police constable in Brisbane. 

On December 26, 1898, Michael, who had come home for the holidays had taken his sister Ellen to the Mount Sylvia Races in nearby Caffey. At 8pm, Michael, Ellen and their other sister, Norah, left home to go to a dance that was at the Gatton Hall. When they arrived at the dance at 9pm, they found out it had been cancelled and decided to return home. They never made it back. 

Early the next morning, December 27, 1898, Mrs. Murphy asked her son in law, William M’Neill to look for Michael, Ellen and Norah in Gatton. Michael had actually borrowed William’s sulky (a light weight two wheeled cart horses are hitched to) and William noticed his sulky’s tracks turning off the road through a slip rail. William followed the tracks over a km before he found the bodies of his relatives.

All three of the siblings bodies were found in a field 1.2 miles from Gatton. Michael and Ellen were lying back to back within 2 feet of each other. Norah was laying on a neatly spread rug, 28 feet to the east. Both Ellen and Norah had their hands tied behind their backs with handkerchiefs. 

The sulky faced south, and had formed a triangle between Michael and Norah. William’s horse had been shot in the head. The siblings legs were arranged with their feet pointing west. 

William went to the Brian Boru Hotel in Gatton and told the patrons of the murder, which resulted in around 40 people rushing to the murder scene, which could destroy evidence. 

William was later criticized for not going directly to the police but testified that he had asked where he could find the police sergeant at the hotel. William did contact the Acting-Sergeant William Arrell, who arranged for police from Brisbane to come to the scene. However, further delays led to officers not arriving until 48 hours after the bodies had been discovered.

Daniel, the brother of the victims who was a police officer got a telegram from a family friend on December 27, informing him of the murders. Daniel got a three day leave but failed to catch the 1pm train to Gatton. When returning to the headquarters, Daniel discovered that no action had been taken as there was rumours that the murders were a hoax. 

At 4pm on December 28, it was confirmed the murders were not a hoax, but the Commissioner of Police was not informed until 5 hours later because the info did not come through official channels. 

The bodies had been moved to the hotel. An autopsy was conducted by Dr. Von Lossberg. It was determined that Michael had been shot and struck with a blut instrument on the right side of his head. Ellen had her skull fractured by two blows to the left side of her head. It was also determined that Michael and Ellen were sitting upright and back to back when struck. 

Norah had been struck on the left side of her head, her brain was actually protruding out from the skull. Norah had a harness strap tied around her neck, which was so tight it could have caused her death. Both Ellen and Norah had been raped, and semen was found on their clothes. It appeared they both had been raped with the brass mounted handle of a whip, the whip was never found. 

William, the brother in law who had found the bodies, testified that Michael’s hands were not tied when he first saw the body, but it did appear that his hands had been tied behind his back at some point, with one holding an open purse. 

All other witnesses stated that Michael’s hands were not tied, but that a breeching strap lay nearby, and an empty purse was lying a short distance from the body. 

When Michael’s body was removed from the scene around 1:30pm, he was found to have the breeching strap between his untied hands, with the empty purse in one hand. The purse was known to have about 15 shillings in it (about $100 in 2010), the night before, so it was speculated that someone may have untied Michael’s hands to get to the purse. 

Witnesses and police determined Michael to have been shot in the head, but Von Lossberg did not find this, despite claims that he had been asked to look for a bullet. The bodies had been exhumed, and it was found that the original autopsies were no more than an examination from Von Lossberg. 

Decomposition was advanced but it was found that Michael had indeed been shot in the right side of his head and then struck on the same spot with a blunt instrument. This would have partially obscured the bullet hole, but the bullet was recovered from his skull. 

Sub-Inspector Percy Galbraith testified that Von Lossberg told him he had completed the autopsies and said he found what looked like a bullet hole with no exit wound but couldn’t find the bullet in the skull. 

Von Lossberg testified that he told Galbraith he had not performed an autopsy because he was suffering from blood poisoning and did not want the bodies to be buried. 

William, the brother in law had contacted Sergeant Arrell at 9:15am on December 27. They both went to the murder scene and were there for 30 minutes; in this time, Arrell had not taken any notes, did not interview anyone present, and made no effort to protect the site from people destroying the crime scene. 

Arrell requested an urgent telegram be sent, but was told the police had no authority to send urgent telegrams; however this was not true and Arrell was later criticized for not knowing he had that authority. 

An investigation went on for 5 months, but no one was charged with the murders. There were rumours of cover-ups and incest in the Murphy family but they were only rumours and never were proven. 

A man named Theo Farmer, also known as Thomas Day and Thomas Furner, was the prime suspect for the Gatton murders. Thomas was employed as a butcher in Gatton and lived in a hut around 900 feet from the murder scene. He had been witnessed walking along the road on previous nights where the Murphy siblings had disappeared. 

A witness claimed to have seen Thomas washing blood from a pullover a few days later. There was also evidence against him that he had been involved in the killing of a man named Alfred Stephen Hill in nearby Oxley, a few weeks before the Gatton murders. The same revolver had been used in both crimes. 

In 1906, a revolver with the same number as the shots spent in the Oxley and Gatton murders was found near the butchery where Thomas worked. Thomas enlisted in the army shortly after being questioned but left in May 1899.

In 1900, he was admitted to the Sydney Hospital in New South Wales under his alias name, Thomas Furner, suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He died on October 25, 1900, though his death was withheld from public knowledge by the police and governments until 1918.

Nick Sirianni holds the key to Jalen Hurts' Career

     

“Hey, Nick. I need your help.”

      “Sure. What do you need, Howie?”

      “We just paid the kid a quarter billion dollars. I need him for more than three years. I need you to not grind his body down in our rushing attack.”

      “No quarterback sneaks, Howie?”

     That’s not it, Nick. Every hit he takes potentially shortens his career. If he is always at the center of the mesh point, the NFC East defenses are going to pound him every chance they can. Win or lose, they are going to beat him silly.You can still run him when you need to. You can still sneak him when necessary. You need to change the offense to the point where he is not going to be black and blue after keeping the ball himself, or handing the ball off. It’s time, Nick.”

      “Yes, it is, Howie.”

     That was the conversation that Howie Roseman and Nick Sirianni should have had this past offseason.

     NFL team success is relative to successful quarterback play. The Eagles know that enough to have made Jalen Hurts one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the league. Running back success is relative to the amount of physical punishment sustained by a running back. It is time for the Eagles to let Hurts play quarterback full time, use him as an extension of the ground game, as opposed to its core.

     It is commonly accepted theory that running backs become much less effective as they sustain heavy beatings in a season, and over the sum of multiple seasons. Just when they reach their best (pun inteded) run of their career, many running backs quickly tumble down the back slope of that NFL king of hill scrum, and land onto a pile of Ezekial Elliotts, Larry Johnsons, Brian Westbrooks, Clinton Portises, Jamal Andersons, and Arian Fosters. It is an endless pile. I cannot see anymore numbers down there, but I can here the screams. “What, NFL? I’m worth more than that!”…”That kid just got outta college! I had 18 touchdowns two years ago!”…”I thought I was getting paid!”

     The Eagles know the numbers. They would not make a running back one of the top paid runners in the league. It would be a terrible risk. Once most running backs are worth that type of contract, they are usually dangling off the top of that hill, trying to keep their balance on a bad knee. Jalen Hurts has already sustained more physical punishment by this age than most other quarterbacks. He already compares more to running backs. In his two years as a starter he has 367 carries. That is 12.23 carries per game. Brian Westbrook carried the ball just 333 times in his first two years as a starter. Westbrook only had three more successful years before he landed on the pile. “Hey, Andy! I can still pass protect!”

     Many quarterbacks have lost their skills at least partially because they ran up that hill instead of staying in the pocket. Colin Kaepernick rushed 192 times, in his first two starting seasons. Then he fell fast. “Maybe I am kneeling, cause I can’t stand after those three surgeries!”…Yo, what up, RG3!”

     There is common opinion around Philadelphia that Hurts “runs smart.” The idea is that Hurts does not let himself get hit hard very often. Those with that opinion will probably also tell you that Kate Upton is a great actress. Hurts runs into contact maybe as much as he runs away from it. He has repeatedly lowered his shoulder and barreled into a linebacker in every one of his seasons. He gets pushed into half of the defense on short yardage runs. For people that think quarterback sneaks are painless plays, Patrick Mahomes’ brother will remind you that Pat missed two games in 2021 after a “painless” quarterback sneak.

     Until last season, we did not expect that Hurts could operate a typical NFL passing offense at a highly functional level. The Eagles did not think so either, if they really did try to trade for Russell Wilson. The Vikings game in week two of last season was our first glimpse of Hurts ability to be a great passing quarterback. Sirianni finally ignored all the wide receiver hitch passes and three yard tight end passes that had built this offense. You might remember them. They are those pick plays that either lose two yards, or get a ten yard offensive pass interference penalty. Instead, he let Hurts throw downfield at three different levels all game long, just like a great quarterback needs to do. Since then, Hurts has flourished in this more pro style passing approach. He has proved to everybody, including his bosses, that he was worthy of his new contract.

     Now that the Eagles understand Hurts value as a passer, they must retain that value by letting him dominate the league for the next six seasons. He is far less likely to do that if he is always dancing on top of that hill. Last year he averaged eleven carries per game. Some of them were sneaks, some were scrambles, and some were designed draws. (Whatever happened to a bootleg)? There were also a few kneel downs in that number. Sirianni needs to bring that average down from eleven to six or seven. That difference might make Hurts contract Roseman’s MVC – Most Valuable Cointract. The aim should be one or two sneaks, and two scrambles per game on average. Let him run no more than three designed runs and mesh point keepers total per game. That adds up to 6.5 carries per game. Add in about one kneel down on average per game, and that equals 7.5 carries a game. That is 3.5 per game less than last year. It might not seem like a lot, but it is 60 less hits on him per year. Those are hits that could bend him over that hill.

     If the Eagles really want to increase their chances of maximizing their leader’s success over the next six seasons, they will diminish their reliance on the ride and decide rushing philosophy, or abandon it all together. I doubt that they think they are ready for that. It would shock the entire NFL to see Hurts handing the ball off from under center. (“Play what? Whose action? What do you mean by play action”)? Twenty-five yards down the seam later, when Goedart breaks the tackle, you might just see the opposing defensive coordinator with his hands over his face, wondering what he should do next. If the ride and decide becomes used a lot less, than the defenses will not practice it as much. It could be even more effective, and keep Hurts healthier.

     There will most likely be a day when Hurts lands on the pile at the bottom of the hill. Most athletes do. Many running backs land their much faster. Let him be a quarterback. I can hear Hurts at the bottom now. “I still got paid, Howie!”

     This is the conversation that Roseman and Sirianni should be having today. “Hey, Nick! Nice T-shirt. Does that say, ‘Top of The Hill?’ I like that!”
