With Johnson, Elliott and Goedert all uncertain to return in 2027, Mailata and Hurts could be the two longest tenured Eagles after this season.

A four year extension would run from 2028-2031. The guaranteed money typically includes the current deal, so that's effectively guaranteeing 2026-2029, with two unguaranteed years in 2030 and 2031.

It didn't happen, and it couldn't happen. Elon Musk did not steal the 2024 election in Pennsylvania for Donald Trump. No part of any voting system used in Pennsylvania is ever connected to or permitted on an internet-facing network. www.pa.gov/agencies/vot...

What prevents hackers from accessing voting machines and changing votes?
Voting systems are never connected to the internet, and every vote cast on a voting machine is recorded on a user-verifiable paper ballot. There are multiple layers of defenses to prevent hackers from accessing voting systems. For example, voting systems are kept in secured facilities that can be accessed only by authorized elections personnel. Additionally, the reliability of every voting system is affirmed through Logic & Accuracy testing before every election which is open to the public.

How does Pennsylvania make sure votes were counted correctly?
Starting on the Friday after Election Day, all 67 county boards of elections publicly begin the official computation of election returns. This process includes several reconciliation procedures, including comparing the number of registered voters with the number of ballots cast and opening and checking the reported votes cast from each election district.

In addition, counties conduct two different types of audits after every election to ensure the reported election outcomes are correct:

A 2% statistical audit required by state statute, and
A statewide risk-limiting audit (RLA)
Both audits occur before any results are certified.

Safe and Secure Electronic Systems
The Department of State employs multiple best-practice strategies to ensure the security of our voter registration database and our voting systems, including:

24/7 continuous network monitoring,
firewalls,
data encryption,
password protection,
multi-factor authentication,
independent vulnerability assessments,
continuous network monitoring, and
continuity of operations (COOP) planning.
No part of any voting system used in Pennsylvania is ever connected to or permitted on an internet-facing network.

In addition, all county election boards inspect and test voting and tabulating equipment before each election, then place locks with tamper-evident seals on all voting system access points.

Tom is my friend and--despite his piece in The Millions to the contrary--I will buy and read his upcoming book. Also, if you're reading this and Tom's book (described below) sounds interesting, you should also read his novel How to Be Safe. It is extremely funny and of the moment.

In 2012, Philly.(com) hosted a happy hour for local bloggers. I didn’t know anyone, but everyone there knew everyone else. Maybe Dan sensed that (?), so he shot the shit w/me & introduced me to some others including the sports editor who eventually gave me my first big break. He was the nicest dude.

The #Packers are the NFC's # 7 seed for the 3rd year in row. Since playoff seeding began in 1975, this is the first time in either conference that a team is the lowest seeded playoff team for 3 straight years.

Folks should be very careful on Tuesday to not spread rumors or AI slop. No one should deter voters from showing up. But if you *do* see something, document it. Take pictures and video. And then lawyers like me can take all necessary steps to protect voters from intimidation.

What people have so easily forgotten is that the language banning the tush push was the best argument against banning it. If you think it is hard to enforce now, wait until you see the new rule.

Red Sox players loved the intensity of the crowd in Philly and said it was like a playoff primer. Garrett Whitlock: "I love playing in Philly. The fans are really amazing. It's funny, the security guy threw a guy out because he was yelling at me. I almost turned around like, 'Hey, it's okay.'"

The #Eagles’ 2025 opponents voted 13-1 to ban the push. The other 17 teams voted 9-8. Weird that the Eagles seem to only be playing the teams concerned with safety and pace of play this year.

I think the Eagles need to be petty and propose banning players from jumping into the stands. It's a safety hazard.

I know this will blow people's minds, but Derek Carr has a passing DVOA of at least 8.0% in five of the last six seasons. And it's not like the dude is playing for a team that's set up for him to succeed with scheme and teammates. He's overpaid but he does not suck.
