  • hee hee HA HA: Igglesblog corrects PFT on a line by Tommy McDonald

    Igglesblog called this the PFT translation machine:

    From PFT's Thursday morning one-liners:
    Eagles Hall of Famer Tommy McDonald is calling out the team's owners, telling them "don't forget ballplayers of the past."
    Actual story at the link - PFT totally took his line out of its context:
    The Philadelphia Eagles will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of their 1960 NFL championship team on Kickoff Weekend with three days of festivities for players on that team and for fans. The weekend culminates on Sunday, Sept. 12 with the 1960 team being honored at halftime and the Eagles wearing the kelly green and white jerseys worn in the 1960 title game victory over the Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia’s 2010 Kickoff Weekend opponent ...

    That just goes to show me that the Eagles owners don’t forget the ballplayers of the past,” Tommy McDonald, a Pro Football Hall of Famer ...
    Also from the story:
    ”It’s a whole weekend of celebrations,” Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie told the Allentown Morning Call at a press conference at Philadelphia’s Franklin Field, site of the 1960 championship game. “From a Friday night dinner to Saturday with the fans going from the NovaCare [Complex] to the stadium, there’s so many things going on. It’s meant to be a whole weekend celebration to not only bring that group together, but to bring the fans into it.”


    ...

    “We’re really looking forward to this,” Pete Retzlaff, a tight end on the team, told the Delaware County Times. “It doesn’t seem like it’s been 50 years. But it has.”

    “They deserve the focus to be on them,” Lurie added. “They built the franchise.”
    "Philly fans are great....It's the only place where you pull up on the bus and you've got the grandfather, the grandmother, the kids and the grandkids - everybody flicking you off. At other stadiums, they give you the thumbs-down. Here, they give you the middle finger.”
    — Michael Strahan

    "No one likes us, no one likes us, no one likes us, we don’t care, we’re from Philly, F—-ing Philly, No one likes us, we don’t care!”
    - Jason Kelce with the best championship speech ever

      No, the media smelled a story -- but it was wrong? What is the world coming to?
