The Pi Brew
We’re back at it again with an all new Morning Brew and we’re not the only thing back. The NFL regular season has returned. The Eagles took down the Falcons in an impressive Week 1 victory where the defense and the young guns gave us a glimpse into the future with this team. It was the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks that we will never forget. College football was wild this weekend. So let’s get right to it, it’s Brew time.
Victory for the good guys

Very true
Yes, the Falcons don’t look very good. But this has been a complete demolishing. Aside from some early issues vs. the run, and all the penalties, #Eagles have put forth a complete effort for Nick Sirianni’s first NFL win as head coach.
