The Pi Brew
We’re back with a new Brew. The Eagles’ backups lost to the Cowboys’ starters on Saturday night. More importantly though, the Eagles launched a new initiative for the City of Philadelphia. The NFL Playpff matchups are set for Super Wildcard Weekend. Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns are clicking on all cylinders. Antonio Brown just will not shut the hell up. We have a lot to get to this week, so let’s do this thing. It’s Brew time!

More on the initiative
As people of color — more specifically Black people — are disproportionately affected by the gun violence plaguing the city (80% of fatal shootings), the Philadelphia Eagles have announced an “End Philly Gun Violence” campaign.https://t.co/YKusIikgro
