Eagles fans got a crappy start to the week when news came out Sunday night that the Lions were signing CJ Gardner-Johnson to a 1 year deal for as much as $8 million dollars. While it hurt to see a priority leave, it hurt even worse when Eagles fans saw the price the Lions paid, because it didnt seem like that much.

Zach Berman from The Athletic joined the John Kincade Show on Tuesday morning to discuss the decision to move on from CJ Gardner-Johnson, what the Eagles mindset was, and what they could still do in free agency.

“They went into free agency prepared to lose players, and I think they let the market come to them, especially in Bradberry’s case… I think going into free agency, if you had told me that they would keep Slay and Bradberry, I think most fans would’ve taken that… Given all of the possibilities that could’ve occurred, it hasn’t been a bad outcome for the Eagles.”

Its not like the Eagles have not made a flurry of moves. They worked quickly to replace CJ Gardner-Johnson by signing Justin Evans. They also brought in Nick Morrow Tuesday. Their biggest moves have been bringing back players from last year’s team. They have resigned a slew of vets including Fletcher Cox, Jason Kelce, Brandon Graham, and James Bradberry. So what was their gameplan?

“They went into free agency prepared to lose players, and I think they let the market come to them, especially in Bradberry’s case… I think going into free agency, if you had told me that they would keep Slay and Bradberry, I think most fans would’ve taken that… Given all of the possibilities that could’ve occurred, it hasn’t been a bad outcome for the Eagles.”

8 Baseball Movies That Flew Under Your RadarMovies are cool. They can be a much needed distraction from the pain sports can bring. Like when Jose Alvarado gives up a homerun that still hasn’t landed yet, a movie can be a nice change of pace. Baseball season is right around the corner and there are plenty of movies to get you in the mood for 162! The classic baseball movies are known, and can probably be recited chapter and verse by big seam heads. Field of Dreams, The Sandlot, The Natural, Bull Durham, and so on and so on. They are all great in their own right and doing a top list of those movies is a waste of our time.

So lets take a look at some deep cuts. Some baseball movies that may have avoided your radar. These are just based on my opinion, so take that for what its worth. Some of these you may have heard of. A few of them you may have even seen. But hopefully this list will give you some suggestions on films you may have missed.

So while you wait for Trea Turner’s first official at-bat as a Phillie, and as you wait for the first Kyle Schwarber home run of the season, here are 8 movies to get you through the waiting game of meaningful baseball.
