Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles must import talent in order to win.

The 2016-17 Philadelphia Eagles fall short of a completely disappointing season. The Eagles, devastated by the Chip Kelly regime, were thought to be a large flop in the pre-season. Chip Kelly had single-handedly destroyed the team's talent pool. LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, etc. were all lost as a result of the poor coaching. Running three plays quickly was not an effective scheme for the NFL. Doug Pederson stepped up in the Head Coach position, and with the draft of Carson Wentz, the city felt some excitement. The Philadelphia Eagles started off the season undefeated. This fueled the city's thought that after years and years, this would be the Super Bowl winning team. This dream quickly soured as the Eagles would lose game and game again, but there's always next time for this team. What does this team need?

This team needs to increase the talent. The receiving core is mediocre at best. Jordan Matthews is a great receiver, but a great number 2, not number 1. Nelson Agholor has been a major bust, Josh Huff was cut after an arrest in New Jersey, and there really is no way to win a Super Bowl with such mediocrity. Darren Sproles is an amazing running back, but he is quite old and should not be taken the bulk of the workload for the offense. Overall, the Eagles must import more talent for the team to reach its greatest potential. The age old phrase for this Philadelphia team, better luck next year. If the Eagles can manage to get the talent, next year could be the year behind Carson Wentz.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
