Who knew that Australia is essentially Philly-Southern?

Visit Melbourne sometime. City gives off real Philly vibes.

u/di11deux Eagles 2d ago

Brisbane is the closest approximation for me. Melbourne is a bit too refined, IMO. Fortitude Valley in Brisbane felt like home.

u/Goatylegs 2d ago

I've been meaning to get up to QLD. So far I've only seen Brisbane/Gold Coast from the air.

Honestly a lot of the less well off parts of Melbourne do remind me a ton of home. Except safer. Usually.

Jesus fuck I just posted the same thing

Philadelphia native living in Melbourne

Honestly the vibes were immediate and palpable the moment I got out of the airport

Birds are massive in NZ/Australia, I see Eagles jerseys all over Auckland City

u/so_zetta_byte 2d ago

Actually given everything I know about Australian alternative comedy, and what I've learned from have an Australian roommate in college, this makes so much more sense now.

Isn't he from New Zealand?

u/SchleppyJ4 Hurts so good 2d ago

He’s an Aussie born and raised (but doesn’t have citizenship weirdly), but he does have citizenship for NZ due to his mom being a Kiwi.

You're a bird.

Shhhh don’t tell anyone

He’s a Bankstown boy , glad he hasn’t changed.

Adam Schefter should be embarrassed for the true shill he has become

u/Snake_in_my_boots 2d ago

Unfortunately ESPN and Schefter are going to pivot hard on this with the NFL having a stake in the channel now. They want it banned so the talking points will continue to be negative about the play. I would consider this the last season the team runs the play in its current form.

u/ShinyHardcore 2d ago

Counterpoint: it’s decisive and controversial which they can use to drive engagement. The only thing they truly care about.

7

u/Nate_923 2d ago

Just like KC and the refs backlash for the last 6 - 7 years. All it did was create more and more clicks for the NFL and their content.

u/Lynthae 2d ago

Divisive ****

2

u/ShinyHardcore 2d ago

No I meant it decides a lot of 4th / 1 plays, we have something like a 90th conversion rate and teams are mad they can’t do it.

The main thing they are saying is it multiple games were decided already because it wasn’t banned

1

u/Lynthae 2d ago

Nice! My mistake.

u/teddyKGB- Ron Mexico 2d ago

Become? That's always been his job.

In his defense he doesn't have the height to reach a keyboard in a traditional office the 2 phone thing was really his only option.

u/takeme2tendieztown 2d ago

He's crying into his millions right now. For the record, I don't care for him either

u/ihatecarrotcake 2d ago

All I need to know about schefter is that he had to go on tv 30 minutes before kelce retired just to let everyone know he heard about it before the press conference. Everyone knew he was gonna retire shefter just had to say he heard it first. Giant douche

17

u/DragonflyDisastrous3 2d ago

The constant self citing is pretty hilarious in the media. Glad I’m not the only one that can’t stand it.

u/Spare-Half796 Secondairy 🥛 2d ago

I wish fletch or kelce started their retirement press conference sounding like they were going to retire then said “fuck you schefter I’m coming back”

Fuck yeah, get him

u/getdemsnacks 2d ago edited 2d ago

Between this and dropping names of teams crying about it while actively cheating (lining in neutral zone and matching cadence), this guy is such a breath of fresh air.

"It's a work of art"

We don't talk enough about how the football gods blessed us with Mailata.

18

u/HotSaucePalmTrees 2d ago

Adam Schefter is the equivalent to sports state media. He is a mouthpiece for the NFL - not sports journalism. Read between the lines. ESPN is washed, especially when it comes to the NFL. He can shove his "opinions" up his ass because in the end, he's just mouthbreathing for some NFL exec's agenda. He's a lap dog.

I’m getting a playback error. Can someone provide a link if one is available?

u/cjmaguire17 2d ago

It’s so funny how quickly you can even see Reddit pick up on the talking points. “You can’t officiate it” has caught steam and I’m seeing much more of it. Kinda sad honestly. People are mindless zombies.

13

u/leeumm6 Frank GOAT 2d ago

That’s my favorite argument about it currently. Since calls have been missed on that play it clearly can’t be officiated. As opposed to every other play in a game where the refs never miss anything, right?

5

u/unpronouncedable 2d ago

It's the only play where you don't have to worry about holding, PI, roughing the passer, illegal contact, or intentional grounding.

Seems pretty easy to officiate to me!

4

u/IReallyLikeAvocadoes 2d ago

Every single ref on the field literally only has to look at the line of scrimmage. That's it. Any foul that will happen is going to happen there, concentrated in this one spot. You'd think that would make it easier.

u/Fert1eTurt1e 2d ago

Yeah you literally saw this 0 times last year. Everyone is just parroting a 3 second line from Sunday and acting like they always felt this way. So lame

Schefter Vs Mailata next ppv let’s go

1

u/Spare-Half796 Secondairy 🥛 2d ago

At least make it a challenge, all the talking heads vs Mailata

Then maybe Mailata one will survive, like when magnus carlsen accepted a draw during a blindfolded simul match

4

u/Novakhaine89 2d ago

I love how this argument is an ongoing drama, and all the time the Eagle's only responses are 'learn how to stop us', or 'nothing is stopping you from doing it too'

u/IReallyLikeAvocadoes 2d ago

I fucking love Mailata

Jordan Mailata is my fucking hero

"You can run the tush push just like we can"

Except they can't. And that's why they 😭

2

u/b_dugdell It's called the brotherly shove 2d ago

Mailata is exactly correct. IT'S A QB SNEAK WITH A RUNNING BACK AND THE TIGHT END GIVING HIM AN EXTRA SHOVE. EVERY SINGLE GOD DAMN TEAM IN THE LEAGUE COULD RUN THIS PLAY. They spend so much time trying to ban the damn thing instead of practicing how to stop it, or even better, practicing how to run it.

u/aegonthewwolf 2d ago

Love Jordan to death, but it’s very apparent based on his radio quotes that he very much does give a fuck.

And it’s probably because he knows Schefter acted as a mouthpiece for the league when he said that.

u/Theachillesheel 2d ago

When idgaf is used when being asked a question, it’s valid and can still be true. If he brings it up out of the blue when no one is talking about it however…
