The @Eagles put on a masterclass of how to completely bungle a crisis. According to the NFL, they did everything exactly right in handling Jalen Hurts’ condition, playing status, and travel. But you’d never know it because the team hoarded all of its info and let bad info take its place in the public sphere. That thing about Jalen Hurts staying awake for 36 hours? Apparently not true, but the Eagles never spoke up so there are a ton of people—some in media—who still believe it. If the team and Hurts have indeed been on the same page all the way through the ordeal, you would never know it from the team’s public statements. They allowed the idea to grow in the public that Hurts was pitted against the Eagles leadership on whether he would play in London or travel home, because the club never established its own version of events. I know there are certain details they can’t reveal for legal or medical privacy reasons, but they let speculation in media become fact because they did nothing to control the flow of the story. A complete fiasco that could have been mitigated if they’d just given it a little effort. They did nothing. For a small fee I could have helped them.

If my iPhone 17 gets any buggier, I think I’ll try a can of Deep Woods Off. Can’t remember any iPhone apps malfunctioning as badly as some of them do now. Texting is often a nightmare. Anyone else find this?
