PHILADELPHIA – The most troubling aspect of the Philadelphia Eagles’ late-season collapse in the 2023 season was the inability to identify “the problem,” something that cost coordinators Brian Johnson and Sean Desai their jobs, along with a significant portion of the supporting coaching staff.

Shuffling names and faces on the coaching staff was the business-as-usual approach to issues in the NFL, a disappointing course correction for an organization that values its forward-thinking reputation.

It’s the wrecking ball vs. the scalpel, and even if you want to argue the former was needed, the ill structure wasn’t taken down to the studs.

Jeffrey Lurie’s idea was to be surgical with the wrecking ball.

While jumping to the conclusion that head coach Nick Sirianni has been neutered in that aftermath may be a bridge too far, it is fair to say the coach’s power in the organization has been curbed somewhat to a role as overseer (he has been a CEO coach since giving up play-calling to Shane Steichen in 2021) of all things football.

When it comes to Sirianni moving forward, however, his role will be under the microscope, particularly with the offense, which has been the head coach’s baby since he arrived in 2021.

The plan is for new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to be in the pace car, an end game defined by Lurie’s insistence on fresh ideas. Defensively, the Eagles are more comfortable with Vic Fangio and would have preferred a seamless transition from Jonathan Gannon to the new DC last season but the timing didn’t work out and Fangio, a consultant for Philadelphia in the two-week lead-up to Super Bowl LVII, took a $4 million work vacation for one season in Miami.

The theme of Super Bowl week for the Eagles that did invade Radio Row in Las Vegas again highlighted that no one had a real feel for what went wrong.

Once Kansas City topped San Francisco in overtime during Super Bowl LVIII, NBC’s Peter King got one-on-one access with Andy Reid and the former Eagles’ coach who just earned his third Super Bowl ring with the Chiefs offered up quite a bit of interesting information, everything from his speed-in, speed-out “corndog” motion look near the goal line to the idea on SB overtime that Kyle Shanahan flubbed.

Reid’s most interesting revelation had nothing to do with the game, though. After winning, Reid texted Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce to thank him for the Christmas Day effort Las Vegas put in at Arrowhead Field under a then-interim coach.

The Raiders upset the Chiefs, 20-14, on the strength of two defensive touchdowns. It was the final Kansas City loss of the 2023-24 campaign and one that woke up a playoff-tested giant.

“I texted him,” Reid told King. “I just said, Hey, beautiful facility, first of all. And I appreciate you kicking our tail because you taught us a lesson. You get complacent in this business, the margin between winning and losing is tiny.

“You better step up. There’s a time and a place for these players that have been here before. You know what it takes. If you’re the veteran that’s dropping the ball or you’re the veteran getting the penalties, you better figure it out. Figure it out quick. This season’s gonna go down.”

Reid’s words hit me like a truck.

While anyone and everyone at the NovaCare Complex was uncovering every rock to find out how 10-1 receded to incompetence, “complacency” was the answer staring them right in the face.

After 24 wins in 26 starts with Jalen Hurts at quarterback, the Eagles started to believe winning was a birthright.

You can use entitlement or hubris if you like but in a league driven by parity, a successful coach for a quarter century has a good handle on the NFL so when Reid says “the margin between winning and losing is tiny,” it’s not lip service.

Back in 1999, Reid set the GPS for the course Lurie’s Eagles are still on today and also saved the organization from a second grave coaching mistake by pointing them toward Doug Pederson in 2016.

Lurie flew to Vegas to watch his friend win ring No. 3, and if the Eagles’ owner was listening after the game, his wrecking ball will be retired.

Tom Cruise has recently made headlines for a major decision regarding his relationship with his daughter, Suri Cruise. The 18-year-old, who graduated from LaGuardia High School on June 21, did so without her father in attendance. Instead, Cruise chose to attend Taylor Swift’s Eras concert in London, raising questions about his priorities and his bond with his daughter.

Suri Cruise, who is said to have changed her last name to Noelle, a nod to her mother Katie Holmes, celebrated this significant milestone with her mother present. Katie Holmes was there to support and celebrate her daughter, but the absence of Tom Cruise did not go unnoticed. According to In Touch Weekly, this snub has led to further speculation about Cruise’s relationship with Suri.

An insider revealed that Cruise’s decision to skip Suri’s graduation in favor of attending Taylor Swift’s concert is indicative of his strained relationship with his daughter. “He was trading friendship bracelets with superfans and dancing to ‘Shake It Off’ in a crowd filled with young ladies who were around his daughter’s age,” the source said. This behavior, contrasted with his absence from Suri’s important day, has led some to believe that Cruise is living a “double life.”

The insider further elaborated that Cruise has not seen Suri for the past 11 years, stating, “the truth is for the last 11 years, Tom has chosen not to see Suri.” This estrangement appears to be a deliberate decision on Cruise’s part. Despite his absence from Suri’s life, Cruise maintains a close relationship with his other children, Bella and Connor, whom he adopted during his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

Both Bella and Connor are followers of Scientology, which has been a significant aspect of Cruise’s life. An expert on Tom Cruise’s faith, Tony Ortega, explained that Cruise’s primary loyalty is to Scientology and its leader, David Miscavige. Ortega noted, “He has proven over and over again that his No. 1 loyalty is to [his religion] and David Miscavige.”

The influence of Scientology on Cruise’s relationships has been a point of discussion for years. Ortega suggested that Suri’s exclusion from Cruise’s life might be beneficial for her. “It became more and more obvious Tom had completely cut Suri out of his life. And frankly, Suri may be better off for it,” he added.

Cruise’s prioritization of his faith and its community over his daughter has led to a complete estrangement. The choice to attend a concert over his daughter’s graduation is a public display of this ongoing separation. For Suri, who has grown up largely under the care of her mother, this might mean a life free from the complexities of her father’s religious affiliations.

In a twist that has caught everyone off guard, Brad Pitt, the Hollywood heartthrob, apparently made a remarkable move in honor of his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. This unexpected gesture left people staggered and sparked a flurry of speculation among fans and the media alike. According to reports of MIRROR, Pitt had purchased the former marital home the couple shared during their marriage, valued at a staggering $79 million, with the intention of gifting it to Aniston.

The luxurious Beverly Hills property, where Pitt and Aniston resided from 2000 to 2005, had been on the market following their divorce. Sources reveal that Aniston had found it challenging to part ways with the house, describing it as one of her biggest regrets not buying her ex-husband Pitt out at the time of their separation.

This four-bedroom property, adorned with marble kitchen floors, a swimming pool, a pub room with elegant wooden flooring, and a tennis court, served as a tangible representation of the dreams the once dearly in love with each other couple shared during their years together. Reportedly, Pitt and Aniston had initially acquired the residence and embarked on a three-year renovation journey before ultimately listing and selling the estate post-announcement of their split. The decision to part with the beloved home was reportedly a source of deep emotional turmoil for Aniston.

“When Brad and Jen split, she said losing their dream home worsened the heartache of their divorce, and it was one of her biggest regrets not buying Brad out,” a source close to the situation disclosed. Pitt, known for his grand gestures, allegedly purchased the property with the specific aim of surprising Aniston on her birthday. Acknowledging the FRIENDS star’s sentimental connection to the house, he reportedly intended to make a gesture that went above and beyond, aiming to exceed even her most extravagant dreams.

Brad wants to make a gesture to Jen that would go beyond her wildest dreams, so when their old home came up for sale, he knew that would be the purchase to make all her dreams come true,” the insider had revealed. The Break Up actor has, over the years, expressed a sentimental longing for their former home. Even after the divorce, Pitt reportedly missed the house and struggled to leave it behind.

Sources suggest that Aniston herself, during reunions with Pitt, often referred to the Beverly Hills estate, highlighting how her current Bel Air mansion failed to match up to the memories of their shared home. This unexpected birthday gift from Brad Pitt ignited speculation about the nature of their current relationship. As fans are eager to know their relationship status, one thing is for certain—Brad Pitt has set the bar high when it comes to amicable post-divorce relationships in showbiz.

Jennifer Lopez broke down in tears in her new documentary as she confessed what her husband Ben Affleck made her see in herself was “moving”. J-Lo’s latest newly-launched documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, the famous singer let down her walls as she dove into her twenty-year journey to self-love and her touching love story with her husband Ben. Even though they’ve suffered their ups and downs, the pair seem smitten, with the 54-year-old actress speaking very highly of her other half who she believes built up her self-confidence in a way no one else ever could.

Teary-eyed Jennifer confessed: “What he said and what he saw in me, and what he made me believe about myself, only comes from love. Because nobody else could have made me see that about myself. It’s very moving.” She added: “Because I didn’t think much about myself and so the world didn’t think much of me. That lined up.”

During the documentary Jennifer spoke about how her husband was the muse for her independently produced album. While creating the album she even had her musical crew read handwritten love letters from Ben over the years that inspired the project.While Jennifer admitted Ben was “uncomfortable” being the centre of the work, he still happily supported her throughout her artistic endeavour and rooted her on every step of the way.
