It hasn’t been too long since Nick Sirianni’s Eagles lost Super Bowl LVII. While you wouldn’t expect someone to get over a loss like that too quickly a new interview shows that coming just short of a Lombardi Trophy still eats away at — but also drives — the Birds‘ head coach.
NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Reuben Frank wrote a great piece that featured Sirianni discussing how he has been trying to unpack the gut-wrenching loss.
In the piece, Sirianni revealed that he gets so frustrated watching footage from the game that he lets the expletives fly like Cosmo Kramer at the dentist.

While Jim Harbaugh is serving a four-game NCAA suspension, Michigan will be feasting on cupcakes along the road back to the College Football Playoff.
July 1, 2021, the day that NIL was first introduced on the NCAA level, will forever live in history. On that day, the guise of amateurism was lifted and college athletes were granted the opportunity to profit from their Name, Image and Likeness while still in school.
Money used to exchange hands under the table. That is a thing of the past. Over the last 24 months, money has been out in the open.
Although there are a myriad of issues that have come with NIL, it’s been overwhelmingly positive. College athletes are getting paid. Finally.
When Jaylen Brown and the Celtics reached a supermax extension Tuesday of five years for $304 million, reactions from the internet were about what you’d expect—largely, “Wowwwwww, that’s a ton of money for a star player who isn’t even the best on his team, let alone in the NBA.”
The agreement—which breaks down to almost $61 million a season in what now becomes the biggest contract in NBA history—illustrates something that’s been plainly clear for years now.
College Football Hall of Fame quarterback and defensive back Johnny Lujack has died, Notre Dame announced Tuesday afternoon. The oldest living Heisman Trophy winner was 98.
“We mourn the loss of [Notre Dame football] alumnus Johnny Lujack and remember the impact the Heisman winner and College Football Hall of Famer left,” the Fighting Irish said in a statement on Twitter. “We lift our thoughts and prayers for Lujack’s family, friends and loved ones.”
Lujack won the Heisman Trophy in 1947 and finished third in the voting for the award in 1946.

Saquon Barkley will surely provide us with plenty of fun moments this season, though none quite as entertaining as when he said recently that he might sit out 2023 in a contract dispute. “That’s a play I could use,” Barkley told the Money Matters podcast, in the way that a coach might describe a fake punt flea-flicker in which all of his linemen stop blocking and do the Griddy, or a poker player might bluff by casually mentioning he is holding five aces.
Barkley was obviously never going to skip the season. That was just something to say during contract negotiations.
The Cowboys and Trevon Diggs are finalizing a five-year, $97 million contract extension that includes a $21.25 million contract extension, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Diggs will earn $19.4 million per year within the new deal with the opportunity to secure $104 million in incentives. The two-time Pro Bowler has registered 17 interceptions and two touchdowns in three seasons in Dallas’s secondary.
Prior to earning a new extension, the 24-year-old was set to enter the final season of his contract.
Flores originally sued in 2022 after the Dolphins fired him.
The Giants and running back Saquon Barkley stunned the NFL world on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year deal worth $11 million plus incentives for this season. The news comes just a week after the two sides couldn’t agree to a long-term deal before the deadline for franchise-tagged players.
While New York negotiated with Barkley’s representation over a long-term contract, the team reportedly explored the possibility of trading the running back.
