That is For The Win’s each day publication, The Morning Win. Did a good friend advocate or ahead this to you? In that case, subscribe right here. Have suggestions? Depart your questions, feedback and issues by way of this transient reader survey! Now, right here’s Mike Sykes.

Good morning, Winners! Welcome again to the Morning Win. Thanks a lot for rocking with us at present. We admire you giving us a little bit of your time.

Of us, I hate to say it, however I believe the dialog on Nick Sirianni has formally jumped the shark.

The coach finds himself beneath hearth from the general public once more, however this time, it’s after a win. It’s not as a result of his staff didn’t play properly (which they completely didn’t regardless of the win, btw!) or due to the bizarre choices he made throughout the sport (which there have been loads of!).

It’s as a result of he introduced his youngsters to his press convention after the sport, which has in some way became this unconscionable “bush league” transfer. His youngsters are human shields from questioning now, I assume?

Individuals appear to be arguing that Sirianni did this to ease tensions from the top of the sport, when he was seen very clearly arguing with Eagles followers on the sidelines.

To start with, I have to say, this has received to be the primary time I’ve seen individuals defending the conduct of Eagles followers! Often, everybody loves citing the complete Santa Claus factor from the Nineteen Sixties that each Eagles fan have to be held accountable for the remainder of eternity. These are the principles. However it is a new day, individuals. Eagles followers are lastly in the fitting.

Anyway, I digress. Again to Sirianni.

Look, I don’t doubt that Sirianni thought bringing his youngsters in would possibly make issues a bit simpler on the podium for him. The sport in opposition to the Browns was unusually contentious each on and off the sphere. When that occurs, we’ve seen athletes and coaches deliver their youngsters to pressers earlier than.  Often, individuals love this kind of factor. Sirianni himself has finished it earlier than.

It’s not the large deal individuals need to make it out to be. The youngsters don’t cease anybody from doing their jobs. They didn’t cease anybody from asking Sirianni any questions they needed to ask. He was nonetheless questioned concerning the incident with the followers. He was nonetheless requested concerning the Eagles’ damaged offense and the function he performed in it. He nonetheless needed to reply these questions like he usually would. These youngsters didn’t intervene in any respect.

The youngsters had been a non-story till the speaking heads determined to make it one. Now, we’re speaking about this as a substitute of how badly the Eagles seemed in opposition to the Browns. So, if that’s what Sirianni needed, then it labored?

Finally, Nick Sirianni’s downside isn’t that his youngsters made an look at a press convention. It’s that his staff has been fairly dangerous for the final calendar 12 months, and he doesn’t have any good solutions to why.

After we’re all prepared to speak about that, we will lastly have an inexpensive dialog concerning the Eagles’ head coach in good religion.

Often, that’s nice information to listen to when any individual is injured. On this case? I’m not so positive that’s a superb factor.

Tagovailoa has been out since struggling a concussion simply a few weeks into the season. That’s the third recognized concussion Tagovailoa has had since 2022, when he stated he as soon as thought of retirement after struggling by way of brutal head accidents that season. Regardless of his troublesome previous with head accidents, nevertheless, he’s not contemplating retirement right here.

None of us are ready to inform Tagovailoa what he ought to be doing and the way he ought to be dwelling his life. Soccer is his livelihood. His determination to proceed to play is one for him and his household to make alone. What we expect doesn’t actually matter.

However I can’t assist however really feel like we’ve entered into some fairly harmful territory in relation to Tagovailoa’s long-term well being. He’ll play this season, clearly. And we have now to want him the very best.

However, man, I hope he thinks lengthy and exhausting this offseason about what his future would possibly appear to be with soccer or in any other case.

Often, when massive names are traded in sports activities it fairly actually requires quite a lot of transferring items. Donte DiVincenzo was a type of transferring items within the Karl-Anthony Cities commerce.

He was shipped to Minnesota together with Julius Randle and as a wage casualty within the deal. The cash wouldn’t have labored in any other case. It’s a fantastic commerce on the Knicks facet, however it additionally robbed us of the Nova Knicks that we had been promised when the Mikal Bridges deal went by way of.

MORE ON THE KAT DEAL: Listed below are our commerce grades for the Knicks-Timberwolves deal.

No one appears extra miffed by that than DiVincenzo himself, who had lots to say to the Knicks within the Timberwolves’ preseason sport in opposition to New York. Right here’s Bryan Kalbrosky with extra:

“After the preseason sport, DiVincenzo received right into a heated trade with Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson. The coach can also be the daddy of New York’s level guard Jalen Brunson, who attended school with DiVincenzo. The pair truly received two collegiate nationwide championships enjoying alongside one another.

Whereas we could by no means study precisely what occurred throughout the argument between DiVincenzo and his former assistant coach, there have been some previous incidents that maybe led to the stress. For instance, he additionally had a back-and-forth together with his former head coach Tom Thibodeau.”

That is massive New York vitality from Donte. The Knicks are going to overlook this. The Timberwolves are going to adore it.
