Report: Nelson Agholor receives intravenous fluids to cope with flu-like symptoms

by Jimmy Kempski

When the Philadelphia Eagles released their injury report for Super Bowl LII, they did not list a single player as even questionable, as all 53 players should be good to go. On Saturday, according to Ian Rapoport, slot receiver Nelson Agholor received intravenous fluids to help him recover from flu-like symptoms.

Super Bowl pressure doesn't seem too big for inexperienced Eagles roster

by Jimmy Kempski

One of the perceived advantages that the New England Patriots have in the Super Bowl is that they are a far more experienced playoff team than the Philadelphia Eagles. It's certainly a fair point. Before this season, the Birds hadn't been to the playoffs since the 2013 season, and they hadn't won a playoff game since the 2008 season, while the Pats are, you know, the Pats.

Jimmy Kempski's Super Bowl LII pick

by Jimmy Kempski

.Yes, Tom Brady is still the quarterback of the New England Patriots. Yes, Bill Belichick is still the head coach. Yes, Rob Gronkowski is still a behemoth to have to deal with (assuming he makes it through the concussion protocol in time for Sunday). And yes, the Pats, like the Eagles, are 15-3. Still, this is a flawed team, and not as good as many of the Patriots teams of the Tom Brady era.

Is supremely respected Jason Peters a future scout or coach?

by Jimmy Kempski

Philadelphia Eagles legend Brian Dawkins' official title is listed on the team's website as "Executive / Football Operations." Unofficially, he was also helping coach the defensive backs and linebackers, teaching that techniques and making himself available to any player who needed any kind of guidance, football-related, or other. A player with a similar level of juice as Dawkins within the Eagles' locker room is Jason Peters.
