The Pi Brew
We’re back at it with an all new Morning Brew. The new NHL season has officially begun and the Flyers returned to action on Friday night. The Eagles battled Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. Brady and company were just too good for the Birds. Zach Ertz is headed to Arizona. Jon Gruden is making the news for all the wrong reasons. Adam Schefter is proving that some of his “journalistic” conduct is questionable. With that being said, let’s get right to it. It’s Brew time.
The NHL is back and so is this epic theme
It’s the soundtrack to some of hockey’s most iconic moments 🏒

Oh no
Maybe it’s just me, but this year’s Eagles qb isn’t playing any better than the one he replaced last yr. He also has more weapons and better o line. #ThursdayNiteFootball #BucsEagles.
