Eagles Pro Bowler Jason Peters quit on coach Chip Kelly during loss

For all those Eagles fans who just gave up on their team while Philadelphia got beat down by the Redskins Saturday night, well... they had company with a player who was still on the field.

Jason Peters removed himself from the 38-24 blowout in the fourth quarter, after it became clear that Chip Kelly’s well publicized offensive scheme had failed once again — and the Eagles would not be going to the playoffs. 

“I’m not going to get hurt for this,” Peters told people on the Eagles’ sideline, according to Fox 29 in Philadelphia.

The perennial All-Pro, who just last week was named to his eighth Pro Bowl, said he didn’t want to risk injury for a team that wasn’t going to the playoffs, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

And the only reason the Eagles stood a chance of making the postseason is because of the pathetic NFC East.

The 33-year-old quitting on the team is not nearly the first blow against Kelly, but it may be the most telling. The one-time offensive genius from the University of Oregon, whose high-octane offense was all the rage, has seen nothing but disappointment and condemnation in Philadelphia.

Kelly nearly completely overhauled the team with unpopular moves this offseason, dealing its quarterback (Nick Foles) and star running back (LeSean McCoy), as well as sending several star wide receivers out of town (DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin) the past few years.

Things came to a head when McCoy directed charges of racism towards Kelly.

Kelly might be one of the sorriest things about the NFL right now, at least in Philly, but Peters crybaby move represents something that seems to be wrong in sports and the world.

Namely, self-entitlement.

Michael Vick to lobby for law protecting pets left in hot cars

Michael Vick may seem an unlikely enforcer of animal rights, but the NFL quarterback is now heading to the Pennsylvania statehouse to lobby legislators on a bill that would help protect pets against the torture being left alone in hot cars.

Vick was a star quarterback for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons when he pleaded guilty in 2007 to being part of a dog fighting ring and ended up serving 21 months in prison. 

A spokesman for the 35-year-old backup quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, says Vick plans to meet with Democratic lawmakers Tuesday about legislation nicknamed the "Pets in Cars" bill.

PA House Bill 1516 would allow first responders to break into cars to rescue dogs or cats in distress without fear of being held liable for damages.

"I know that I'm an unlikely advocate," Vick said through a spokesman to ESPN. 

"I was part of the problem. Now, my perspective can help reach people that activists can't reach. I can help others become agents of change." 

Vick will be accompanied to the state legislature by a group of schoolchildren from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, according to his spokesman.

Since his 2009 release from prison, Vick has worked on a number of animal rights issues. Even so, a local animal advocacy group protested Vick's signing with the Steelers outside of the team's facility in late August. 

"All animals require kindness and respect," Vick said. "They depend on us, like children depend on us. Many animal welfare bills across the nation do not get enough attention to pass. We can change that."

Vick publicly supported the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, which President Barack Obama signed in 2014. 

Eagles’ Byron Maxwell says growing up in the South prepared him for criticism

Last offseason, cornerback Byron Maxwell spread his wings and flew from Seattle to Philadelphia and signed a $63 million contract to huddle with a new flock of birds.

But as the Eagles' new corner prepares to try to cover Jets receiver Brandon Marshall this week at MetLife Stadium, Maxwell was flapping more than his feathers about his chilly reception in Philly after two games.

“I feel it. They’re cold on me,” Maxwell told the New York Daily News. “That’s fine. Everybody’s got their opinion.”

The City of Brotherly Love is a tough place to play when things go bad, but Maxwell, who hails from South Carolina, isn't fazed by the negativity. After all, he is from the land that's more than just y'alls and pecan pie.

“Everything’s in your face in the South,” said Maxwell. “That’s how it is in the South. They got Confederate flags running around. . . . I’m just saying. You’re used to sh-t. You grow up with a thick skin in the South.”

He may need skin thicker than a hog's hide if he continues to get burned by quarterbacks who have feasted on his neck of the playing field.

“That’s part of being the guy with the big contract and being the big free agent coming in,” Maxwell said. “I haven’t performed up to it, but it’s a new week against the Jets. I get to play again.”

Let's see what those Yankees Jets think about that.

Terrell Owens says Donovan McNabb needs help: 'Next time, call Uber'

Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens and quarterback Donovan McNabb had an uneasy relationship during their time together as Philadelphia Eagles teammates, but it seems T.O. has some sound advice for his former antagonist after McNabb was arrested on DUI charges for the second time last month. 

"DUI is a very serious thing, Owens told TMZ. "The number of lives that have been lost from it are staggering. It's a blessing no one was hurt.

"We may not still be playing, but we still serve as role models. You have to be more responsible."Next time, call Uber."

Owens — who has battled back from his own financial, comeback and image problems  — seems to have turned it around in terms of his own reputation after a successful appearance on Celebrity Apprentice and dimming the spotlight on himself just a little.

McNabb's reputation, on the other hand,  has taken a bit of a hit after several questionable tweets and comments during his time as an analyst for Fox Sports in recent years, not to mention the fact that June's release is the second DUI charge against the six-time Pro Bowler.

It sounds like T.O. and McNabb finally agree on a play call — avoid that down-and-out route.

Could Marcus Mariota's thanks to Eagles Chip Kelly lead to a reunion in Philly? (VIDE)

Marcus Mariota became the first Oregon player to earn the Heisman Trophy and the first Hawaii native to take home the coveted prize. After receiving the 25-pound trophy, Mariota gave an emotional speech, thanking his family, his teammates and home state.

During the tearful speech Saturday night, the soft-spoken quarterback — who beat out Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper and Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon — also thanked his coaches including Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly.

"Coach (Mark) Helfrich, coach (Scott) Frost, and coach (Chip) Kelly," Mariota said,"thank you for the opportunity. You took a chance on me, and I am truly grateful."

That shout-out — or whisper-out, if you please — has already started speculation that the Eagles might try to move up to get him in the 2015 NFL Draft.

The link between Kelly and Mariota, who were together for one full season during their days at Oregon, has Eagles fans dreaming of the perfect replacement of Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez in running Kelly's offensive attack. 

And, earlier this week,  Kelly took time out from preparing for Sunday night's showdown with the Cowboys to heap plenty of praise on his former player and stoke the fire.

"He has a gift for playing football," Kelly said of Mariota. "He is everything you could want. He can throw the ball, he can run. He is the most talented kid I coached in college."

Could next year's most prized player in the NFL Draft go from being a Duck to an Eagle? It's a long shot — but one worth thinking about.

Here's Mariota's acceptance speech:

Mark Sanchez celebrates victory by getting first Philly cheesesteak (PHOTOS)

Mark Sanchez has waited a long time for this — and I'm not talking about his first victory as a starter since beating the Jaguars on Dec. 9, 2012.

We're talking about his first ever Philly cheesesteak.

The former Jets quarterback, making his first start for the Eagles in place of injured starter Nick Foles, was solid in a 45-21 rout of the Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field on the eve of his 28th birthday but had yet time to ever savor the pride of Philadelphia.

So after the game, he hit the legendary Geno's to celebrate:

great decision goin into philly for a celebratory cheesesteak after the W, saw @Mark_Sanchez doin the same #BirdGang pic.twitter.com/yC08sGqjna

Sanchez, the Jets first-round pick (fifth overall) in 2009 who was cut last March, completed 20-of-37 passes for 332 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers as the Eagles (7-2) pulled a game ahead of the Cowboys in the loss column in the NFC East.

In his Jets career, spanning 68 starts, the often maligned quarterback never once threw for more than 300 yards without committing a turnover.

A week ago, Sanchez relieved the injured Foles and led the Eagles to a 31-21 victory over the Texans in Houston. 

The taste of both victory and Geno's. That's a pretty good night.

Victor Cruz's screams told Giants, Eagles players his injury was serious (VIDEO)

It didn't take a doctor's report to tell Giants and Eagles players on the field what occurred in the third quarter of Sunday night’s game. It came from a sound that was something that Eagles cornerback Brandon Boykin admitted he won’t ever forget. 

They were the screams that came from Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz after he wrecked his knee on a freak play.

Cruz ruptured the patella tendon in his right knee when he jumped for a fourth-down pass in the corner of the end zone. And the players immediately knew it was serious when he came down clutching the twisted joint.

“He was screaming, like really screaming, not like ‘ahhh.’ But screaming at the top of his lungs,” Boykin said. “When you do hear a professional NFL player scream like that, you know it’s a serious injury.”

It was so bad that Giants quarterback Eli Manning couldn’t even offer words of encouragement to his friend. In this situation, it wouldn’t have helped. Manning had to just watch as the sobbing Cruz was carted off the field.

“It was tough to say anything to him,” he said. “I went there and patted him on the shoulder, but he was in some pain and it wasn’t a great opportunity. Anything I would have said, he wouldn’t have heard me.”

Cruz’s season is over. Knee injuries are nothing new to the Giants star — but patella tendon injuries can ruin careers.

Giants fans can now only wish for Cruz's successful recovery and hope to see his salsa dances once again.

Giants players troll Eagles fans for never winning a Super Bowl (PHOTO)

New York Giants cornerbacks Prince Amukamara and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie didn't wait until Sunday night to send a message to Eagles fans — and they did it via Twitter.

In the tweet below, which was reportedly taken on Tuesday night, Rodgers-Cromartie and Amukamara point out to Eagles fans the number of Super Bowl titles the team has — zero.

Hanging with The Prince of NY and @drc_two1 tonight. You already know what they think of the jersey! #GIANTS #0 #4 pic.twitter.com/zQZZewpg9b
— LPG - Joe (@LicensePlateGuy) October 7, 2014

It's kind of weird for Rodgers-Cromartie, who played for the Eagles two seasons ago, to brag about it— he doesn't have any championship bling himself — but it seems totally out of character for Amukamara — who does have a Super Bowl ring with the Giants — to be trash-talking before a game.

So far, the Eagles fans haven't fired back. But you can bet Amukamara's new sex life will probably come into play.

Jason Peters gives Trent Cole sweet birthday cake with knife on it (PHOTO)

Eagles linebacker Trent Cole celebrated his 32nd birthday on Sunday with a sack, a tackle, and a win over the St. Louis Rams.

Bettor loses $100K on Colts' late-game choke: Report

A Delaware bettor put down $5 for a 15-team parlay, looking for a shot to win $100,000. In order to win, the gambler would need to pick all 15 games correctly against the spread. And the odds are long.

But things looked pretty good for this person after Indianapolis rolled to a 14-point third quarter lead and the individual had correctly picked the first 14 games.

All that was needed to collect 100 grand was a Colts win by more than three.

And we know what happened.

The Colts ended up blowing the two touchdown lead and losing, 30-27, on a Cody Parkey field goal as time expired.

"It definitely looked like Delaware had a winner when the Colts were up by 14 midway through the third quarter," lottery director Vernon Kirk said in a statement, according to the Delaware News Journal. "Then to have the Eagles rally like that -- and to win in the last three seconds of the game -- it was agonizing to watch when you knew one player was so close to such a big payout."

It's almost a sure bet that this person will need more than Luck on the other team next time he or she bets.

According to the paper, no one has hit this particular parlay since 2011.

Giants punter Steve Weatherford's Twitter account hacked by suspected Eagles fan: Report

It's no secret that New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford has one of the NFL's most active Twitter accounts. On Tuesday, his followers were stunned when he posted, "The Giants are stink and I'm no good! Fly eagles fly!"

It didn't take long for everyone to surmise that the out of character tweet presumably came from a Philadelphia Eagles fan who hacked into Weatherford's Twitter account and not the punter himself.

I'm just guessing but the "Fly eagles fly!" probably gave it away.

It didn't take long for Weatherford to let everyone know that he had been hacked.

Sorry folks, I was hacked. I think it's time for new password. My apologies.
— Steve Weatherford (@Weatherford5) September 16, 2014

But even that didn't stop his followers from having a little fun with the phony tweet.

LeSean McCoy's 20-cent tip receipt is for sale on eBay: Report

The receipt signed by LeSean McCoy last week at the restaurant PYT, in which the Eagles running back stiffed a waiter with a tip of 20-cents, is up for sale on eBay and the bids are soaring.

After being posted on Saturday, the receipt has gone up from a starting bid of 20-cents all the way up to  a staggering $760.00 as of Monday morning.

Call it the lousy tip that keeps on giving.

UPDATE: As of late Monday afternoon, it was selling for more than $90,000 — or 400,000 times the value of the tip.

According to NJ.com, of the 5,312 items on eBay currently that came up for a search of "LeSean McCoy," only 16 cost more than the infamous receipt.

Here is the description, according to the seller "fauxrean."

The item up for Auction is the controversial $0.20 Receipt for Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean "Shady" McCoy's meal at Philadelphia Restaurant, PYT. The aforementioned receipt has caused quite the media buzz amongst social media/news networks/celebrities along with many others.

Not only do you get to keep a memento of weird current events/social media history but you also get an autograph from incredibly talented Philadelphia Eagles running back, LeSean McCoy!!! As to how I came into possession of this item: My good friend Tommy Up has left this receipt in my possession in order to ensure something positive comes out of this somewhat negative action that has recently taken place. With your help we'll be able to leave the largest tip possible to all PYT employees for their hard work and dedication.

Hurry up before Charlie Sheen starts throwing his money around.

LeSean McCoy leaves 20 cent tip at Philly burger joint (PHOTO)

Eagles running back LeSean McCoy lost at least one fan after leaving a 20 cent tip on a $61.56 check at a Philadelphia burger joint Monday.

That's 20 cent, not percent.

After the NFL star stiffed the waiter, the restaurant posted a photo of the check on their Facebook page to publicly shame the cheapskate.

“That is a .03% tip,” PYT posted on its Facebook page. “New record!”

The 26-year-old All Pro stopped by the restaurant in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia with four “rude and loud” friends, an employee told the Philadelphia Daily News.

When served their meal, the group was not impressed, asking, “What is this s---?” waiter Rob Knelly told the newspaper.

"I wasn’t surprised [by the tip], I saw it coming,” he said. “They were extremely rude. I kept my cool for as along as I could, where you just don’t want them yelling and cursing you."

McCoy, known by his nickname “Shady,” picked up the bill with his credit card.

He signed a five-year, $45 million contract extension with the Eagles in 2012.

DeSean Jackson calls LeSean McCoy the 'only real one' on Eagles: Report

LeSean McCoy seems to be the only Philadelphia Eagles player to publicly come out and admit that the team will miss DeSean Jackson since his release March 28.

“I mean, it’s a surprise for sure,” LeSean McCoy said Saturday of the former Eagles' Pro Bowl receiver. “I think anyone that tells you that they’re happy with it is … I don’t know how honest that would be.”

And now Jackson took to Instagram to pay back the shout-out and thank his former teammate for his support, reports NJ.com.

Jackson posted a picture of the two with the following caption, insinuating McCoy is "the only real one" of his former teammates.

"MY BRO THE ONLY REAL ONE !! REAL FRIENDS STAND UP IN REAL TIMES !! LUV LIL BRA !! WE GONNA HAVE A BALL PLAYING AGAINST EACH OTHER GONNA B DIFFERENT BUT WE GOTTA BATTLE !! "

MY BRO THE ONLY REAL ONE !! REAL FRIENDS STAND UP IN REAL TIMES !! LUV LIL BRA !! WE GONNA HAVE A BALL… http://t.co/fwBigqRUHS
— Desean Jackson (@DeSeanJackson11) April 13, 2014

McCoy is one teammate who was really close with Jackson during his time in Philadelphia. The Pro Bowl running back recently wondered why teammates who have been interviewed over the past two weeks have not come out in support of Jackson.  And how that deafening silence may be a sign they were glad to see Jackson go. 

"I think anybody that tells you that they’re happy about it, I don’t know how honest that would be," McCoy said recently to Eagles 24/7. "So when you say he didn’t bond with the team, I don’t know what that means because I was a teammate and we bonded."

The Eagles released the 27-year-old Jackson last month following reports the team had concerns about Jackson's off-the-field issues, including the company he kept and his relationship with head coach Chip Kelly.

The wideout quickly signed with the Washington Redskins.

Eagles taking DeSean Jackson banner down from Lincoln Financial Field: Report

It looks like the Philadelphia Eagles and DeSean Jackson have officially become consciously uncoupled.

According to this tweet below, accompanied by a photo taken outside of Lincoln Financial Field on Tuesday, the Eagles are removing a huge banner of a player who — though the uniform number doesn't appear to be No. 10 — looks like Jackson, the wide receiver they released Friday amid reports of attitude problems and connections to reputed gang members.

The banner has been hanging for months, and, although it was never clear who it was,  looks like a hybrid of former receiver James Thrash's body and jersey (No. 80) with D-Jac's face in the helmet.

Desean Jackson banner coming down off the side of Linc. Wouldn't want that job. For many reasons! pic.twitter.com/QRwyKTmE2n
— Cindy Webster (@Cindy610) April 1, 2014

Other banners hanging nearby are equally as ambiguous, but nonetheless the only one coming down looks like Jackson — and fans are buzzing on social media, reports NJ.com.

When reached for comment, the Eagles — who insist the banner is of a generic player, not Jackson — would say only that the banner was previously scheduled to be removed because of construction.

Marcus Vick gets into Twitter war with PETA over brother Michael

Marcus Vick, the older brother of the New York Jets' newly signed quarterback Michael Vick, is once again making news for the wrong reasons.

Following the Jets' signing of Michael, PETA took the opportunity to send out a tweet reminding the world of the controversial quarterback's infamous dogfighting past. Marcus responded with some choice words of his own directed at the animal rights group..

'y’all still on that bulls–t???? Smh #Peta,' Marcus tweeted back.

Vick, who served 21 months in a federal prison for his involvement in a violent dogfighting ring, was the target of a virtual jab from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in the form of a comment posted on Twitter Saturday afternoon.

At least Michael Vick can't drown, electrocute, hang, or shoot a football the way he terrorized "man’s best friend." #smh #Jets
— PETA (@peta) March 22, 2014

'At least Michael Vick can’t drown, electrocute, hang, or shoot a football the way he terrorized "man’s best friend." #smh #Jets,” the organization tweeted, after it apparently got word of his new contract in New York.

The Jets signed the former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback to a one-year deal Friday, and released Mark Sanchez, the one-time face of the franchise.

The younger Vick — who since being released from prison has been a vocal animal rights advocate — seems more interested in playing football than he does with starting a Twitter war with PETA.

"Anywhere I go, or any team, I'm always going to compete for the No. 1 spot," Vick said last week of his upcoming battle for the starter job with quarterback Geno Smith. "And I will encourage any other quarterback behind me or in front of me to always compete for their job, for the No. 1 spot.

'That's how champions are made."

The 33-year-old Vick, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, was once considered the most dynamic player in the NFL, particularly during his first six NFL seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. 

John Legend takes shot at Riley Cooper on Twitter during Saints-Eagles game

Big strides were made by Riley Cooper this season — both on and off the field— but that still doesn't mean you'll find an abundance of fans wearing the Eagles receiver's jersey in the stands.

Not everyone has forgiven the fourth-year Philadelphia player for his use of a racial slur in a video prior to the start of the season.

And, apparently, Grammy winner John Legend is one of them.

After Cooper's 10-yard touchdown catch gave the Eagles a 7-3 lead in the NFC wild-card playoff game against the New Orleans Saints, Legend took this shot at the wideout via Twitter.

We haven't forgotten about you, Riley.
— John Legend (@johnlegend) January 5, 2014

When one follower questioned Legend about dissing Cooper during the game, the singer fired back.

But not Riley. I get it. RT @JackYoung_2 I just lost all of my respect for John Legend.
— John Legend (@johnlegend) January 5, 2014

Legend attended University of Pennsylvania, and has always been vocal about his affection for the City of Brotherly Love. But, it seems, even after Riley's apology and career year — 47 catches, 835 yards and eight TDs — the player still hasn't earned the forgiveness of the R&B singer.

Later in the game, with a wide open field and about nine minutes remaining in the third, Cooper dropped a third-down pass that hit him right in the hands, forcing a punt. The Saints scored a touchdown on the subsequent drive, taking a 20-7 lead.

No love songs here.

Saints fans cancel 'Rocky Run' following threats from Eagles fans: Report

The City Of Brotherly Love just got a little colder — even without a windchill.

Apparently, someone thought it would be a good idea for New Orleans Saints fans visiting Philadelphia to run in solidarity up the Art Museum stairs in advance of this Saturday’s Eagles vs. Saints playoff game at the Linc.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened next — after fired up Eagles fans got wind of the possibility of a perceived enemy stomping up their sacred steps.

After news of the Rocky Run spread, and threats were made via social media, the run was cancelled. Philadelphia police already have announced officers will attend the game dressed as Saints fans to stop Philly hooliganism.

I admit this was a bad idea. Rocky run is canceled although I still encourage fans to see the museum. @KeithJones @JeffDuncan_ #saints
— Michael DeMocker (@MichaelDeMocker) January 3, 2014

It sounded like a fun idea — in theory. The Rocky statue and the running of steps are always a must for anybody visiting Philadelphia. But threats by the Eagles faithful put the kibosh on the chance of anyone screaming "Drew Brees" instead of "Adriaaaan" at the Rocky replica — an icon almost as beloved as Nick Foles right now.

we're crashing it. join us. RT @_LANDREW have you heard this BS about Saints fans planning a "Rocky Run" at the Art Museum tomorrow?
— maurice (@tallmaurice) January 3, 2014

The suggestion came from NOLA.com and the Times-Picayune newspaper, which labeled the event the Who Dat “Rocky” Run.

On Friday, Michael DeMocker from the Times-Picayune announced that the event was cancelled.

And in the NOLA.com guide for Saints fans visiting Philadelphia for the came is this bit of advice from a Philadelphia expat who now works for the site:

Philly fans will share food, beer, even tailgate with you, if you’re respectful. Now, this may not go over well with our readers, but wearing Saints gear is not a wise idea, unless you have the number of people to support you. It’s a late Saturday night game and Philly fans will be tailgating all day. Saints fans should be safe and assume that Philly fans will NOT want to see Saints colors beforehand, and especially not afterwards if the Saints win.

And don't call a cheesesteak a po'boy.

I swear any saints can that partakes in this rocky run is going to get hit will snow balls

LeSean McCoy unveils a rushing title championship belt and LeBron James gets jealous

LeSean McCoy had a championship belt slung over his shoulder during a victorious postgame chat with NBC’s Michelle Tafoya. When asked about it, McCoy, this season's NFL rushing champion, laughed about the golden trophy you wear around your waist.

“It’s a joke. My friend, he’s from Texas, he told me he was going to give me the rushing title belt if we won the game, so here it is right here.”

Dejected Cowboys fan LeBron James was so enamoured of the gilded belt, he blasted out a tweet wondering where he could get one.

Luckily for LeBron, The Rock was there to help.

@KingJames Got your back. I'll take care of it tomorrow and hit ya back off line. Done.
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) December 30, 2013

Now King James has a belt to match his crown.

Vikings players won't help up DeSean Jackson (GIF)

Despite catching 10 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown, DeSean Jackson was involved in a sideline dispute that was caught by network cameras during the Eagles crucial loss to the Vikings.

Adding insult to injury (Jackson was held to 38 yards on the ground) was this video of Jackson looking for help after a play, only to have all of the Minnesota Vikings players refuse to offer a hand.

Luckily for the battered Jackson, a compassionate ref was there to help him up.
