During a recent podcast episode, Kirk Cousins was interviewed and the hosts had an unusual number of unconventional questions for him. Despite the roasting session, Cousins handled it admirably and with grace. The podcast covers various football topics, including the Eagles' poor performance, DK Metcalf's struggles with body catches, and the potential hiring of Cam Newton as a 2-point conversion specialist.

Eagles Coaching Staff's Decision to Bench Wentz and Possible Consequences: The Eagles' coaching staff's decision to bench Carson Wentz and start Jalen Hurts could lead to Pederson's job security being questioned, but his Super Bowl win and book 'Fearless' might save him. Wentz's contract and past success make him an attractive option for teams seeking a starting quarterback.
The Eagles' coaching staff, specifically Doug Pederson, may be making a desperation move by benching Carson Wentz and starting Jalen Hurts, but it doesn't necessarily mean Pederson will be fired. Pederson's recent Super Bowl win and his book "Fearless" may save his job. However, the decision to bench Wentz and start Hurts could be a sign of things to come. Miles Sanders' underutilization is a common coaching excuse when teams can't figure out how to use their best running back effectively. Carson Wentz's contract and past success make him an attractive option for teams looking for a starting quarterback, even if he is benched by the Eagles. If Wentz were to fake an injury, a shoulder injury or sports hernia would be the easiest to pull off. The Eagles' season has been disappointing, and many fans have given up on them, preferring any of their division rivals to win the NFC East. The discussion also touched on some humorous suggestions for how Wentz could fake an injury, such as a self-suck or throwing himself down the stairs. Overall, the conversation revolved around the Eagles' current predicament and potential solutions for their struggling offense.

The NFL scene is filled with unexpected events and schedule changes, making every week a surprise for football fans.

When honoring a loved one through a tattoo, it's essential to consider their personality and unique connection you share. A cliche or generic tribute may not resonate with the memory of your loved one. Instead, consider something personal, like a handwritten message or a drawing they made.

Additionally, some suggested ideas include getting a tattoo of a picture they drew as a child, a favorite quote, or a symbol that represents a shared interest or inside joke. Remember, the tattoo is a personal and meaningful way to remember and honor your loved one, so choose something that resonates with both you and them. Another important consideration is the potential for awkward conversations. A tattoo that may seem normal to you might be perceived as strange or offensive to others. Be prepared for these conversations and be confident in your decision. Lastly, if your loved one was a fan of a particular podcast or show, consider honoring their memory by subscribing to it or keeping their subscription active. This small gesture can keep their memory alive and provide comfort in the grieving process.
