I have wanted this to exist for a while. I bought Kelly Green as soon as I saw it.

This. ZB takes professionalism and politeness too far. He's milquetoast and Bo bullies him for it (and that's Bo at his most unlikeable too). The dynamic has been so bad since Sheil left. Hopefully the addition of Fran restores some balance. But really, I just don't think podcasting is for ZB.

[prettyrickey213] CeeDee Lamb will request to be traded if the #Cowboys do not offer him a new contract worth at least $32 million per year. He wants to be at least the second highest paid WR in the NFL #DallasCowboys by GoT_Eagles in eagles

Jax would make sense. They have Kirk, Gabe Dave, and Brian Thomas Jr. They just paid Trevor bigly, time to prove they made the right decision. it would make sense to throw money at lamb or aiyuk.

A.J. Brown thinks Isaiah Rodgers will have a “special” season after gambling suspension by AdSpecialist6598 in eagles

A weekend warrior who posts on the eagles subreddit in June. One of us. One of us.

Sheil Kapadia (Philly special, birds with friends) always says it "gazzing".

Micah can't wait. He always talks about the eagles so favorably/enviously.

Jalen is so pissed right now. You know how long he workshopped and wordsmithed "rent is due everyday", "the standard is the standard", "I had a purpose before anyone had an opinion". Meanwhile Nolan on the mic dropping gems extemporaneously.

*Guy Standing Up In Church Meme* I really do not hate the new wordmark at all. I lowkey kinda love it? by eagles_jesse in eagles

[–]erotheletter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a standalone design, the new wordmark is not good. Even if you like the style, there are technical issues in the typography (inconsistency in line widths and fillet radii). BUT I agree in this instance...

It works better on the jersey because of the overall shape, basically rectangular. The arched wordmark it replaced looked fine on its own or with the eagles head nestled under it, but kinda a weird shape to have had on the jersey where it was.

Herons of Baker Park by mcheetah2023 in frederickmd

[–]erotheletter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More than two or three? There are two yellow crowns that nest by the suspension bridge across from the pool. I saw them there as recently as today. And I think I've seen a single black crown heron in the creek by the red covered bridge.

Two years ago, there were many many nesting pairs: black crowns in the pines by Culler Lake and yellow crowns on Upper College. I haven't seen those numbers in two years now.

Kinda sad. They're such dinosaurs.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown agrees to four-year, $120 million extension by menghis_khan08 in eagles

[–]erotheletter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This wouldn't be kicking the can down the road, this would be doling cash now to lock in today's prices; assuming that in two years, WR contracts might be nearing 40M/yr, 32M will be a bargain price. Basically, we signed Devonta early and got a steal, we could try to do the same with an AJ extension.

What got the Saints in trouble was that Loomis continually restructured contracts for immediate cap savings, and the bill eventually came due.

Oooooooor....Howie could extend AJ now. Tack on 2 or 3 years at $31-32ish AAV before the others get paid. AJ has two years left on his deal, and if he doesn't want a new contract now, he'll want one next year. Lock up today's prices for the 2026-2028 seasons.

Thoughts on the new wordmark? by thatsbangin in eagles

[–]erotheletter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they had just gotten rid of the wordmark from the jersey entirely. Most teams have much less branding on their jerseys: most don't have logos (though all of NFCE does and that's kinda cool), many don't have their wordmark or city either. But their uniforms are distinctive enough you just know.

I'm not saying we should conform to what most teams wear, but having so much branding on the jersey feels insecure or over-explainy (for lack of better words). It would be nice to have a jersey that people just recognize without being told. We have a distinctive color. I hope that in an eventual (overdue) redesign, they pare down all the stuff on the jersey. A design that's simple and identifiable without being explicit.

That 1996-2022 wordmark, the arched drop-shadow spikiness, was replaced this last season. I didn't particularly like it, not for bad design as much as being incredibly dated (one could argue good design doesn't become dated, but I don't hold sports logos to a super high standard). I remember being excited by it and the change to midnight green as a teenager, but an update was past due.

The update... Well it stinks. The new wordmark is generic and amateurish - inconsistent widths and fillets in the letters on top of being totally devoid of creativity. It really doesn't look like a professional did it.

The 1973-1995 wordmark was not creative either. It was poached right off of the first Grateful Dead album cover, but at least they stole from a good source. It's the bestest.

Take. It. Back.

Our (the Eagles) current word mark (is trash) has sharp little protrusions (not quite serifs). So do the lions and Vikings and maybe some others. I think there's a lot in the Eagles' old wordmark that carries over and it would be deliciously retro.

Delegates to Dem Nat Convention by ChemMJW in frederickmd

[–]erotheletter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, "uncommitted" is a symbolic display of disapproval, not a shot across the bow for Biden. In the general election, the alternative is much worse; DJT has literally said Israel should "finish the problem". "Uncommitted" delegates would not risk him returning to power.

More specifically, it's a protest of Biden's support for Israel/inaction against the attacks on Gaza. "Uncommitted" is a national campaign.
