No words to describe what we saw yesterday. Chip will say whatever he wants, the players will say whatever they want, but I honestly couldn’t be more embarrassed for how we expected this team to come out and start the season and then have to witness this. We’re just gonna get right to it.

I’m not so sure how many more “In Chip We Trust” T-shirts we’ll sell, but we’re gonna keep pushing them. I may be off the Chip bandwagon for the time being because nothing has changed since a week after Thanksgiving, and that’s not a good thing.

Anthony DiBona’s Eagles-Redskins recap is up, if you’re a glutton for punishment.
Lane Johnson is having an MRI today.
Jason Kelce called the offensive line a disgrace. Nobody should disagree.
I don’t blame the new kicker for the loss. Yeah, he missed what should have been an easy field goal and a PAT, but I’ll put sole blame on Chip. Sturgis wasn’t even the best of the kickers the team worked out last week when Cody Parkey went down. Chip’s making all the wrong moves right now.
DeMarco Murray says he isn’t getting the ball enough.
“Do I think I’m touching the ball enough?” he said, repeating a question that was posed to him as he stood at his locker.
“No, I don’t think I am. But that’s how the plays have been called. I love this offense and I love playing with these guys, but that’s just how it is.”
“As players, we’re here for a reason,” Murray said. “We’ve got to get more opportunities. We’ve got to get the ball in playmakers’ hands and just let them play and have fun.”
Murray was asked if he knew what he was getting into when he left Dallas to sign here.
“I knew what I was coming in here to do,” he said. “I knew that I was going to be the lead guy and (Darren) Sproles and (Ryan) Mathews were two great backs, and in this offense a lot of guys touch the ball, that’s how they run the offense.”
Asked how many carries per game he expected, Murray answered: “I don’t know. I have no idea.”
But more than this? “Yeah.”
Good times.
Colin Kaepernick ain’t no Russell Wilson.
The Cavaliers should sign Tristan Thompson, just for LeBron James’ sake.
Cole Hamels, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley are going to the playoffs. Oh, and so is Ben Revere. Here’s the playoff schedule, courtesy of ESPN.com:
The Phillies get the first overall pick in the 2016 draft.
Max Scherzer no-hit the Mets on Saturday night. It was his second no-hitter of the season, and could have been three after he came within one out of a perfect game back in the summer. They may be NL East champions, but LOLMets.
A priest pulled a gun on an 8-year old Cowboys fan in NJ. Philly escapes this one, because that priest is a Giants fan.
