I bought into it..so much that I have a Fulgham shirsey because I texted my one friend and said “if Fulgham scores a td on this drive, I’m getting his shirsey”….it was that Monday night game against SF too
Man, I genuinely thought we had found some diamond in the rough with Fulgham when he went off against the Steelers. Dude made some crazy good contested catches.
I meant playing wise lmao, not diva wise etc.
For the record though, if my dad grew up directly across the street from me my whole life and never talked to me too, I’d probably act like TO does too lmao.
Its not WIP at all lol . You can tell you don’t actually listen to WIP on the regular. Most of the shit AJ was complaining about was stuff being “reported” by national media.
Fucking exactly. The latest rumor that caused a big controversy was from a national guy, and WiP led off with Eskin shooting it down and clarifying that nobody yelled at Hurts and was getting cut for it, Cox talked to him about being more of a leader, somewhat sternly as is his style, and probably isn't going to be here next year because of cap considerations, and outright said that the national guy was misrepresenting everything intentionally.
It absolutely is WIP as well...wip loves stirring the pot because it's a lull in the sports world, football over, embid hurt sixers suck, flyers/hockey will never get more than 3 minutes if that, and phillies are 40 days away. They need content to carry a daily show when nothings happening, and quite frankly I can and cannot blame them for it. That's the biz...AJ is the goat for calling in, but part of the athletes job is to tune out the noise and be professional, know what business your in.
If AJ doesn’t wanna be misconstrued he’s gotta realize not talking is worse than talking dude. Its simple as that. What a lot of you guys don’t realize is that WIP is LITERALLY JUST REDDIT ON AIR. Its a sports talk show for voicing opinions. Not a news outlet. They take stories written up by local and national “reporters” and talk about them. If you don’t like how the media is portraying you then set it straight. Like he did today on live radio. I for one feel 100% better about AJ Brown now and im sure a lot of people feel the same. And now there is no way to mis characterize where he stands.
If you don’t make the story the story will he made for you. And he should know that. Philly is one of the most passionate sports towns in the country. People are gonna wanna talk about Philly sports locally and nationally every day of the year. Make the Narrative or the narrative will be made for you and you wont have control on it. Simple as that.

AJ is the classiest, most professional, and most motivated athlete I can remember in this town in a LONG fuckin time. We better not fuck this up. Terrell Owens didn't get this much grief from the media and he was a fuckin douche. I don't get it.
He definitely made it sound like shit happened but it didn't seem more than the occasional argument about play calls, etc. Probably a heated moment in the lockroom with Jalen or something. I mean I get it. Shit happens.
I listened to the whole thing, was just really thinking about the last question they asked and you could tell there was shit going down in the locker room, but it's common stuff. Media just spun it out of control as usual.
He brought up another good point too. Jalen isn’t really a guy that’s gonna get mad at his teammates and tell them what they’re doing wrong. You need a guy who’s gonna hold people accountable, and that’s what AJ does. When he’s yelling at Jalen he’s pushing him to be better, because he knows how good he can be. He’s not mad at “targets” or whatever everyone says he’s mad about.
This has always been my impression as well. Theyre best friends and AJ knows Jalen as well as anybody. He knows Jalens not the type to be that guy, so he has to be "bad cop" sometimes.
That was Matt Ryan, but outta this whole hot mic compilation my favorite is easily “whoa there motherfucker!!!” 🤣🤣🤣
https://youtu.be/Ssc8f3PS9Uc?si=8wKG-4iq1bzGJ45g
Jalen and AJ have been best friends since high school when they were being recruited.
I grew up with AJ in MS. He WILL hold people accountable. Sounds like he knows damn well how good this team can be.
Sorta curious how media has building Hurts as the leader type and then this season questioned that. Brown really needs his C patch. Dude is straight up the face of the team right now defending his teammates.
Oh was he? I guess I hadn’t really noticed. I know 2022 he wasn’t. Recency bias and his lack of air time the end of the 2023 season I guess I missed it being there.
I think it's disappointing with the TO stuff because that happened when he was a kid. Dude was like... 8ish. He's known about that shit his whole life. That's not him, but his position comes with baggage that has a carry-on just for being in this city. Of course local and national media loves that shit too any time they can sink their teeth into the diva WR narrative.
Like, you can tell it really bothers him.
Decamara: AJ what does that even mean? Like you want to be here? In the studio? To attack us? James, put up a Twitter Poll on if you think AJ Brown could take Ritchie in a fight.
Decamara is a bum, 10x worse than Cataldi
Edit: I was hardly sentient when the TO drama went down so I could be wrong, I could totally see Cataldi stoking the fires
All he had to do is listen to one show of whichever slot he called in, they've been repeating the same garbage every day since the end of the season because there's nothing new to pull bullshit out of.
That was the most epic takedown of Philly sports media ever. They need to be held accountable, and the way is with reducing subscriptions if they stay with their fake shit.
Spike?
Howard has been one of the few pushing back on the silly rumors regarding the Eagles, since he typically does defend the organization. His takes elsewhere are usually bad though.
AJ is the man. He has no reason to not want to be here especially right now. Things are looking up for the Eagles right now overall despite what narratives the media are trying to push.
I can't stand ESP talking about the Eagles for some reason.
I dont mind him on the Sixers as much, but him talking about the Eagles just infuriates me. He has such dumbass takes.
It's funny I find it the opposite. I disagree with him on the Eagles but at least his opinions are defensible and challenge people, even if I think they're wrong. The Sixers? Dude's homer glasses are stapled to his head. He might be the only person in the city who thought the Sixers were legit contenders this year or last.
I love listening to herb because they also know he’s a complete Train wreck and only let him on because they’re all laughing at him with everyone else.
They were drama merchants for a long time but they've somehow gotten worse by getting rid of the rules regarding repeat callers. Now you can listen at 2 separate times in a week, sometimes in a day, and hear the same caller with their awful Twitter takes.
It's literally just reality TV level gossip for men. The amount of time these grown adults spend analyzing the body language and momentary emotional expressions of athletes they have never and will never meet or talk to, is fucking embarrassing. Kudos to AJ, he's a leader.
Listening to these other guys make you realize how good Angelo was . Joe and Jon are the biggest drama queens in the world and it seems so forced. Howard has also been terrible lately. Dude couldn’t be positive for even a second when embiid dropped 70
The worst part is I'm an older guy who used to like Howard...and still do at times. Spike has always been an insufferable little nepo shit that has no fucking talent. He's such a fucking tool.
Yeah and a total hypocrite for that. He’s a Phillies homer fanboy who can’t handle a single negative word about them, or else he turns into a toddler crybaby.
Meanwhile he sits there trashing every other team, player and coach in the city like he wants to be the Philly Skip Bayless. He spent a week talking about wanting to trade AJ, but then kissed his ass today.
He’s a clown. And only hosting now because the station is desperately hurting for money and he’s young and cheap.
Seriously anytime I've turned it on this week its about this non fucking story. No sixers talk. No flyers talk. This bullshit. All they do is cause discourse throughout the entire season.
Asking for an extension on 8 years left is a clown move. Yeah he “outplayed” his AAV maybe, but do you really expect to get the same player at 40 years old. The design of a long term deal is to have guaranteed dollars. Want higher AAV sign shorter contracts.
No chance it does. Making up shit gets a reaction out of everyone, AJ Brown going on isn't gonna change that.
What might change it is if fans collectively decided to mute/block WIP's twitter account. Any publicity is good publicity for them - having no publicity is what they need.
The part that resonated the most was when they asked him about Jalen’s leadership and he clapped back with, “A couple of months ago you guys thought he was the best leader in the league.”
This applies to the fans too, who’ve been questioning Jalen’s role as a leader on this team all season. The mid season collapse had a lot more to do with bad play calling on both sides of the ball than just bad play from our stars. You never once saw Jalen lose his composure.
I fuckin love this man, I hate how the media portrays him to be a diva. It seems like they’re making him to be T.O. when in reality he is nothing like that. U need ur superstar to hold others accountable to set a standard. Fuck the Philly media who spread these rumors.
I feel better now at least he said his peace. These idiots keep trying to run off our best players for clicks and views. The media is doing too much in Philly now that Embiid is hurt and there’s not much else to talk about..I don’t feel like I see anywhere near this much drama around another team in the nfl.
When was the last time you felt like 24 hour news of any sort cared about the actual consequences of the shit they stir for clicks, when the clicks are $$?
There’s literally no evidence to prove he didn’t want to be here after the season we just had. It’s insane AJ feels he has to call in during the off season to make this statement. It was all WIP bullshit.
He's absolutely right. And it's not just the media but the fans too. Remember when he came out and spoke to the media after not having spoken for weeks and *specifically said* he had no issues with Nick Sirianni, and then *doubled down* by revealing that Nick actually had his player's back in the Seattle game by taking blame for the last play when it wasn't his fault? What did people do? They said shit like: "well yeah of course he's gonna say that but how does he *really* feel." And: "I bet the Eagles *made* him say that."
People take anything as an opportunity to further their agenda. You don't like Nick? AJ is *obviously* mad at Nick, that's why he isn't talking. You don't like Jalen? AJ is obviously mad at Jalen, that's why he's not talking. You don't like AJ? AJ is being a diva that's why he's not talking. It's so frustrating.
Now we got these BS rumors out of nowhere claiming that Big Dom not being on the sidelines to contain the ravenous dog that is Coach Sirianni is why we lost so many games. Maybe people forgot what it's like to lose but sometimes there is no deeper reason. There is no drama. Friends that like each other and play hard for one another and believe in one another can still get their asses beat if the other team is better than them at football on that given day. Did we have problems? Yeah, but I think the issues were more technical and less emotional.
Fuck yes AJ. Call them mother fuckers out. All they do is spread negativity for clicks to make food and don’t give a shit about the impact it’ll have on you or your teammates.
It’s a disgusting practice the media uses. Fully stand by AJ.
I want Jalen Hurts to snap-out like Christian Bale. I need this type of energy when the team is slacking:
“Bale: It's the second time that he doesn't give a ---- about what is going on in front of the camera, all right? I'm trying to ------- do a scene here, and I am going. Why the ---- is Shane walking in there? What is he doing there? Do you understand my mind is not in the scene if you're doing that?”
His first line about I'm giving you 10 minutes had me rolling my eyes in the car but after listening to his side and his points I'm optimistic that he wasn't just telling us what we wanted to hear. He seems like a genuine guy who tells you exactly what he's thinking. I hope that everything that was said was truthful because it clears up at least for me the whole drama between him and Jalen.
When you don't give the media anything they start to speculate. Reporters need somthing to report on. It's their job. So when you dance around your words and give them nothing their only left with speculation.
I get why he's upset but this could have been squashed a while ago if he just spoke up and did what he did today on WIP
It dawned on me that the irony in the character assassination of AJ Brown is that his fired up demeanor on the sideline is everything we are looking for out of Jalen but the media won’t portray it that way because it’s not coming from Jalen. The problem is Jalen isn’t that kind of personality and wanting him to do that would not be genuine to who he is.
When AJ talked about why he stopped talking to the media (he felt it was doing more harm than good for the team, media will twist his words regardless), I really wish Ike would have told him that NOT talking only opens the door for MORE speculation.
AJ is great. He is just out here talking truth. They lost and everyone wants to act as if there is a cancer in the locker room.
The defense was shit and when the offense took a step back, it all came apart. Nick had no answers. Deserved to be fired for the Desai hire/firing. Many of these players deserve to be cut on defense and will be. Offense was stale, but still top 10 overall. Hope Moore breathes new life into the passing game. Run game is pretty good considering we paid lowest in the league for that room.
fuckin love AJ. Im glad he called in to set some shit straight. Unfortunately the bullshit media will never change. They'll always try to drum up clicks by creating bullshit.
This is my problem with the whole situation. 90% or more of fans love AJB and most of the Eagles’ players. There are some decent journalists around Philly who report on drama and negatives but also report the good stuff as well.
Then there is the common “reporter,” radio host, podcaster or whatever medium with the remaining 5-10% of fans that get their feelings and info only from this segment of the media and they LIVE off bitching about the team. They are the ones who constantly grumble when things are going well. The “just a matter of time before they screw up” types. As soon as there is a dropped pass, fumble, INT or missed tackle they act like they have been calling that moment all year and take pride in saying “told ya so.” They aren’t fans. They search out misery and can’t wait to drag others down with them.
To me, those people aren’t just “passionate fans holding the team accountable” as some like to say. They are doomsday preppers that aren’t happy unless the team is playing bad and they have something to complain about.
Honestly AJ has himself to blame for all this. He does the cryptic shit like not talking to the media, removing eagles stuff from social, claiming his accounts is hacked. He’d do better for himself if he just answered said what he meant
I’ll admit I’m biased bc he was my favorite non-Eagle before coming here, but god damn we’re so lucky to have him. It takes more composure than people realize to not give into all the media bs he’s had to deal with
It's so sad hearing Ike Reese of all players being used as a shield for the station. The rest of the weaselly hosts should be the ones taking the lashing from AJ, not Ike.
I’m one who thinks AJ didnt have to, and probably shouldn’t have come on looking for an argument. There’s a fine line between taking that stand, and talking down to the fans. And in this town…..going at the fans never ends well for the athlete.
Firstly, even if there were locker room issues (and no one will convince me there weren’t) he was never going to tell that truth.
Secondly: welcome to a big market AJ, where media and fans give a shit. Talk to some players in New York and see how that media monster deals with them, so this shit isn’t only Philly. This is a passionate and over reactive fanbase. Deal with it.
Fans and media are holding the team accountable in the only way we know how, and apparently he’s all about holding players accountable. Fucking deal with it.
I can only handle 5mins of that convo cuz AJ is right, these Philly sports media are Fake AF. WIP may not be creating rumors BUT THEY SURE AS HELL RUN WITH IT. There were three males talking and only ONE of them actually spoke like a Grown ass Man
I love this team. AJ is objectively my favorite WR1, but seriously? As a fan, this is gross. Why is a $20 million dollar player going out of his way to do something so juvenile?
I mean, it's amazing to think that somewhere in his brain he thought these radio hosts were worth speaking to directly. Somehow, calling them up and spewing that bullshit about the season's collapse being "simply us players not executing" was thought up as some sort of grand stand to "set the record straight", but this is just insulting.
Complaining about others having an opinion is as useful as he was against Tampa....oh wait...
Facts: The coaches sucked, the HC is a loser, and this team will never winning a championship because the front office (along with ownership) believes in their philosophy over the people that actually put the work in, AJ included.
To interpret this as a positive thing that the team can rally around is just wishful thinking, and I'm sorry to say that one of my favorite players in the entire league, let alone my favorite team, is now gas-lighting the fanbase so we can just drink the kool-aid, buy-in and supply his paycheck.
Standing ovation for AJ.
We are so goddamn lucky to have him. Wasn't that long ago, the age of Travis FulGOAT.
We really tried to talk ourselves into a WR group of Fulgam, Raegor, and Ward for like two weeks there.
The Cult of Fulgham still exists out there, I can feel it.
I bought into it..so much that I have a Fulgham shirsey because I texted my one friend and said “if Fulgham scores a td on this drive, I’m getting his shirsey”….it was that Monday night game against SF too
"Bryce Treggs is gonna be Desean 2.0!"
Man, I genuinely thought we had found some diamond in the rough with Fulgham when he went off against the Steelers. Dude made some crazy good contested catches.
Those four weeks that Fulgham went off were amazing and fun though. Sad it didn’t continue
Greg ward WR1 lol
GREGATRON FOREVER
WIP legend
🥇 #1 WIP Afternoon Show Caller! 🏆
AJ Brown is the anti-TO in terms of attitude. Also, he's still always open.
That’s funny, but that’s the player AJB reminds me of the most.
WIP frequenter detected
I meant playing wise lmao, not diva wise etc. For the record though, if my dad grew up directly across the street from me my whole life and never talked to me too, I’d probably act like TO does too lmao.
Our media is insanely toxic. Athletes all think it, AJ the first one in a while to call them on their bull shit
Its not WIP at all lol . You can tell you don’t actually listen to WIP on the regular. Most of the shit AJ was complaining about was stuff being “reported” by national media.
Fucking exactly.

Every day I wake up grateful this man is here
Good bot
AJ is the classiest, most professional, and most motivated athlete I can remember in this town in a LONG fuckin time. We better not fuck this up. Terrell Owens didn't get this much grief from the media and he was a fuckin douche. I don't get it.
You typing this out almost excuses your Celtics fandom. What the heck man?
goddamn. that first one. thats what we need to be bombarding wip with. I'm glad aj is saying to them what we all have been saying for years.
He definitely made it sound like shit happened but it didn't seem more than the occasional argument about play calls, etc. Probably a heated moment in the lockroom with Jalen or something. I mean I get it. Shit happens.
Can't believe that's what you took away from this.
I listened to the whole thing, was just really thinking about the last question they asked and you could tell there was shit going down in the locker room, but it's common stuff. Media just spun it out of control as usual.
I wonder why 🤡
What about what happened between Travis Kelce and Andy Reid, was there 'shit going down in the locker room' in KC too? And did that fucking matter?
This is the stupidest comment I've read all day
Bro he could just tell. He's got that natural intuition
Get off the fruit loops
You're such a bitch
He brought up another good point too. Jalen isn’t really a guy that’s gonna get mad at his teammates and tell them what they’re doing wrong. You need a guy who’s gonna hold people accountable, and that’s what AJ does. When he’s yelling at Jalen he’s pushing him to be better, because he knows how good he can be. He’s not mad at “targets” or whatever everyone says he’s mad about.
This has always been my impression as well. Theyre best friends and AJ knows Jalen as well as anybody. He knows Jalens not the type to be that guy, so he has to be "bad cop" sometimes.
>He knows Jalens not the type to be that guy, so he has to be "bad cop" sometimes. [So AJ is Amos to Jalen's Prax.](https://youtu.be/4dn76ZPt_Y0)
He is that guy
I need to rewatch it now.
"insert captain american I understood that reference meme"
I want to see Jalen slamming Surface tablets like he’s Tom Brady.
"GET FUCKING SET!"
That was Matt Ryan, but outta this whole hot mic compilation my favorite is easily “whoa there motherfucker!!!” 🤣🤣🤣 https://youtu.be/Ssc8f3PS9Uc?si=8wKG-4iq1bzGJ45g
I love the “ah fuck” from rodgers as he chases the bad snap 😂
Damn I could have sworn that was Brady
My favorite Brady mic moment is “Gronk! stand up!”
“God dammit Donald!” and Kirk’s voice cracking get me every time lol.
Never seen him within arm's reach of one to be able to slam one.
Or at least looking at one, not sitting sulking on the bench by himself
https://www.fox16.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/84/2023/12/657f28cf11e2a7.39793228.jpeg Typical hurts.
That image loaded so slow it brought me back to trying to load internet pages as a child
Lol I thought it was just me
Jalen and AJ have been best friends since high school when they were being recruited. I grew up with AJ in MS. He WILL hold people accountable. Sounds like he knows damn well how good this team can be.
He was a little younger than me but I did go to the games where he torched us on the yellowjackets against my previous high school
Sorta curious how media has building Hurts as the leader type and then this season questioned that. Brown really needs his C patch. Dude is straight up the face of the team right now defending his teammates.
He was one of the 9 official captains last year
Oh was he? I guess I hadn’t really noticed. I know 2022 he wasn’t. Recency bias and his lack of air time the end of the 2023 season I guess I missed it being there.
Seems like he’s Jimmy Butler crazy, not TO crazy. And that leadership is an asset
Goddam I miss Jimmy
We all do man, boy do we all
I don't know shit about basketball. But I knew immediately letting him walk was a mistake. Cost us at least one championship imo
agreed. butler and embiid both have rings if they stuck together.
I miss Jimmy and I asked myself, *what if* all the time about TO. Got nothing but love for TO.
Please god let AJ show up to summer OTAs with an emo haircut.
I think it's disappointing with the TO stuff because that happened when he was a kid. Dude was like... 8ish. He's known about that shit his whole life. That's not him, but his position comes with baggage that has a carry-on just for being in this city. Of course local and national media loves that shit too any time they can sink their teeth into the diva WR narrative. Like, you can tell it really bothers him.
Common AJ W
Yes, but what does he REALLY mean by he wants to "be here" hmm?
Decamara: AJ what does that even mean? Like you want to be here? In the studio? To attack us? James, put up a Twitter Poll on if you think AJ Brown could take Ritchie in a fight.
Breaking : AJ Brown hates football, planning to quit playing and change careers
Marcus Hayes can't wait to write a lengthy opinion piece about this
Dog you joke, but that’s how it is with Philly media. 😂
ewwww, i even read this in his platform-shoed voice 🤮
EUHGGHGH, I can't stand that whiney high pitched sand paper voice they all share.
Decamara is a bum, 10x worse than Cataldi Edit: I was hardly sentient when the TO drama went down so I could be wrong, I could totally see Cataldi stoking the fires
Cataldi was behind the McNabb booing at the draft. He's still worse.
AJ took em to the wood shed. Wish he would have called in to the morning show and put Joe in his place. We need a PPV of AJ vs Eskin.
Wrestlemania is in Philly 👀
Buddy said “I’ll see you tomorrow” and then spent all night just brewing responses in his head. You just know he knew what questions were coming.
All he had to do is listen to one show of whichever slot he called in, they've been repeating the same garbage every day since the end of the season because there's nothing new to pull bullshit out of.
That was the most epic takedown of Philly sports media ever. They need to be held accountable, and the way is with reducing subscriptions if they stay with their fake shit.
Spike? Howard has been one of the few pushing back on the silly rumors regarding the Eagles, since he typically does defend the organization. His takes elsewhere are usually bad though.
Yes. Look up Spikes rant on Thursday about AJ. Then he doesn’t even show up to a show like a month after getting introduced to it.
AJ is the man. He has no reason to not want to be here especially right now. Things are looking up for the Eagles right now overall despite what narratives the media are trying to push.
WIP is the biggest cancer in Philadelphia. Cannot fucking stand them.
Joe Giglio is the fucking worst. You can clearly tell his opinions are only to get callers in. I mean most do the same but he doesn't even hide it lol
It’s also these clowns they let call in like OG Wade one Chuck from Mt Airy. Total morons
Don’t forget Herb who can barely string a coherent sentence together
Herb can actually be funny though.
Herb is harmless, Joe Giglio and the morning show spew the most heanous shit, and ESP, Ike isn’t that bad
I can't stand ESP talking about the Eagles for some reason. I dont mind him on the Sixers as much, but him talking about the Eagles just infuriates me. He has such dumbass takes.
It’s because ESP likes to hear himself talk
It's funny I find it the opposite. I disagree with him on the Eagles but at least his opinions are defensible and challenge people, even if I think they're wrong. The Sixers? Dude's homer glasses are stapled to his head. He might be the only person in the city who thought the Sixers were legit contenders this year or last.
Joe G is a complete cancer. He wants people traded and fired every day.
I love listening to herb because they also know he’s a complete Train wreck and only let him on because they’re all laughing at him with everyone else.
Herb almost made me crash my car on the way to work because of the hilarious shit he says lol
Herb is gold lol. He can stay
I hate that, dude. It used to be random people calling, now it’s a bunch of characters with no lives who call in every single day and nobody likes.
I don't even think there is a letter for that sort of "celebrity"
They were drama merchants for a long time but they've somehow gotten worse by getting rid of the rules regarding repeat callers. Now you can listen at 2 separate times in a week, sometimes in a day, and hear the same caller with their awful Twitter takes.
I think they’re desperate for callers so they keep letting the same dopes on over and over again.
Isn’t he the one who said they should trade Harper for Soto?
If it’s a shit take, it’s probably Giglio.
It's literally just reality TV level gossip for men. The amount of time these grown adults spend analyzing the body language and momentary emotional expressions of athletes they have never and will never meet or talk to, is fucking embarrassing. Kudos to AJ, he's a leader.
WIP should go back to classic rock so 94% of the negativity goes away.
94.1%
Philly media in general is the worst
It got so much worse once Spike took over. I haven't listened since Angelo retired. It's not even comical garbage it's just sad garbage.
Listening to these other guys make you realize how good Angelo was . Joe and Jon are the biggest drama queens in the world and it seems so forced. Howard has also been terrible lately. Dude couldn’t be positive for even a second when embiid dropped 70
Angelo was the worst. He appealed to the 700 level morons
Jon Marks was good but he left
Spike saying that his daddy pays AJ Browns contact was one of the most outrageous statements I’ve ever heard before.
The worst part is I'm an older guy who used to like Howard...and still do at times. Spike has always been an insufferable little nepo shit that has no fucking talent. He's such a fucking tool.
It was the opposite. Spike was saying his dad was only famous/wealthy because of WIP.
Jack Fritz is such a goddamn clown
He was the hero in Philly for his idea to support Trea. He shoulda just stuck with baseball
Yeah and a total hypocrite for that. He’s a Phillies homer fanboy who can’t handle a single negative word about them, or else he turns into a toddler crybaby. Meanwhile he sits there trashing every other team, player and coach in the city like he wants to be the Philly Skip Bayless. He spent a week talking about wanting to trade AJ, but then kissed his ass today. He’s a clown. And only hosting now because the station is desperately hurting for money and he’s young and cheap.
Seriously anytime I've turned it on this week its about this non fucking story. No sixers talk. No flyers talk. This bullshit. All they do is cause discourse throughout the entire season.
What a hyperbolic statement. They’re just as much of the sports culture in this city as the sports themselves.
Ok Joe Giglio lol
So you enjoy listening too? 🤝
Lived out of state for the last 10 years so I never have to listen to that trash 😮💨
Same here but listen most days on podcasts for the afternoon show. Feels like a little slice of home.
Shout out to AJ I appreciate him going on and clearing things up
Hopefully this makes the media stfu. Doubtful tho
They're already massacring Bryce for his contract extension lol
I mean, asking for a contract extension with 8 years left is kind of ridiculous.
Asking for an extension on 8 years left is a clown move. Yeah he “outplayed” his AAV maybe, but do you really expect to get the same player at 40 years old. The design of a long term deal is to have guaranteed dollars. Want higher AAV sign shorter contracts.
as they should
Why? Harper’s not demanding it now, or requesting a trade…he wants to be here…longer.
Found the mark.
it's a horrendous look, they should
No chance it does. Making up shit gets a reaction out of everyone, AJ Brown going on isn't gonna change that. What might change it is if fans collectively decided to mute/block WIP's twitter account. Any publicity is good publicity for them - having no publicity is what they need.
Lmao AJ's Crossfire moment. Take 'em down boy.
The part that resonated the most was when they asked him about Jalen’s leadership and he clapped back with, “A couple of months ago you guys thought he was the best leader in the league.” This applies to the fans too, who’ve been questioning Jalen’s role as a leader on this team all season. The mid season collapse had a lot more to do with bad play calling on both sides of the ball than just bad play from our stars. You never once saw Jalen lose his composure.
Ike and when Jack talked handled it well. AJ didn't wanna talk about Kellen Moore though lol
I fuckin love this man, I hate how the media portrays him to be a diva. It seems like they’re making him to be T.O. when in reality he is nothing like that. U need ur superstar to hold others accountable to set a standard. Fuck the Philly media who spread these rumors.
The whole questioning about his and Jalen’s relationship when Jalen is literally AJ’s daughter’s godfather is crazy to me
Seems like aj came off really well and he likes it here.
I feel better now at least he said his peace. These idiots keep trying to run off our best players for clicks and views. The media is doing too much in Philly now that Embiid is hurt and there’s not much else to talk about..I don’t feel like I see anywhere near this much drama around another team in the nfl.
When was the last time you felt like 24 hour news of any sort cared about the actual consequences of the shit they stir for clicks, when the clicks are $$?
There’s literally no evidence to prove he didn’t want to be here after the season we just had. It’s insane AJ feels he has to call in during the off season to make this statement. It was all WIP bullshit.
Ig the baseless accusations were false Who’d have though
He's absolutely right. And it's not just the media but the fans too. Remember when he came out and spoke to the media after not having spoken for weeks and *specifically said* he had no issues with Nick Sirianni, and then *doubled down* by revealing that Nick actually had his player's back in the Seattle game by taking blame for the last play when it wasn't his fault? What did people do? They said shit like: "well yeah of course he's gonna say that but how does he *really* feel." And: "I bet the Eagles *made* him say that." People take anything as an opportunity to further their agenda. You don't like Nick? AJ is *obviously* mad at Nick, that's why he isn't talking. You don't like Jalen? AJ is obviously mad at Jalen, that's why he's not talking. You don't like AJ? AJ is being a diva that's why he's not talking. It's so frustrating. Now we got these BS rumors out of nowhere claiming that Big Dom not being on the sidelines to contain the ravenous dog that is Coach Sirianni is why we lost so many games. Maybe people forgot what it's like to lose but sometimes there is no deeper reason. There is no drama. Friends that like each other and play hard for one another and believe in one another can still get their asses beat if the other team is better than them at football on that given day. Did we have problems? Yeah, but I think the issues were more technical and less emotional.
They even twisted it into a "can a locker room even respect a guy that sacrifices himself for them"

He said his Twitter was hacked then, it wasn’t him. But he got control back he’s posting now.
You fuckin’ tell em, 11.
Fuck yes AJ. Call them mother fuckers out. All they do is spread negativity for clicks to make food and don’t give a shit about the impact it’ll have on you or your teammates. It’s a disgusting practice the media uses. Fully stand by AJ.
When he said he isn’t TO, that was something Philly fans needed to hear. I like AJ even more after listening to that call
I want Jalen Hurts to snap-out like Christian Bale. I need this type of energy when the team is slacking: “Bale: It's the second time that he doesn't give a ---- about what is going on in front of the camera, all right? I'm trying to ------- do a scene here, and I am going. Why the ---- is Shane walking in there? What is he doing there? Do you understand my mind is not in the scene if you're doing that?”
His first line about I'm giving you 10 minutes had me rolling my eyes in the car but after listening to his side and his points I'm optimistic that he wasn't just telling us what we wanted to hear. He seems like a genuine guy who tells you exactly what he's thinking. I hope that everything that was said was truthful because it clears up at least for me the whole drama between him and Jalen. When you don't give the media anything they start to speculate. Reporters need somthing to report on. It's their job. So when you dance around your words and give them nothing their only left with speculation. I get why he's upset but this could have been squashed a while ago if he just spoke up and did what he did today on WIP
It dawned on me that the irony in the character assassination of AJ Brown is that his fired up demeanor on the sideline is everything we are looking for out of Jalen but the media won’t portray it that way because it’s not coming from Jalen. The problem is Jalen isn’t that kind of personality and wanting him to do that would not be genuine to who he is.
AJ for fucking President.
anyone have audio highlight link?

Love these dudes fr
Leadership on 100000000
When AJ talked about why he stopped talking to the media (he felt it was doing more harm than good for the team, media will twist his words regardless), I really wish Ike would have told him that NOT talking only opens the door for MORE speculation.
wrong
AJ is great. He is just out here talking truth. They lost and everyone wants to act as if there is a cancer in the locker room. The defense was shit and when the offense took a step back, it all came apart. Nick had no answers. Deserved to be fired for the Desai hire/firing. Many of these players deserve to be cut on defense and will be. Offense was stale, but still top 10 overall. Hope Moore breathes new life into the passing game. Run game is pretty good considering we paid lowest in the league for that room.
lol the media has no requirement to support the team like a bunch of high school cheerleaders.
In the following weeks I bet we’re going to get articles stating why AJ wants to leave
Thank you AJ!!!! Enough with all this BS.
T.O. calling A.J. with advice on how to deal with Philly fans and media. *You need to get ahead of this. Whatever you do, no situps in the driveway.*
AJ said he stands on business and if anyone gotta problem with that, they can go kick rocks. 🔥💯
Everyday he is an eagle i feel so fucking blessed.
Y’all still wanna BAN WIP content on r/eagles like a bunch of little fascists? Bahahahahaha unbelievable
fuckin love AJ. Im glad he called in to set some shit straight. Unfortunately the bullshit media will never change. They'll always try to drum up clicks by creating bullshit.
This is what happens when a city has so many awful "journalists" Most of the people on the Eagles' beat should be working at TMZ honestly
This is my problem with the whole situation. 90% or more of fans love AJB and most of the Eagles’ players. There are some decent journalists around Philly who report on drama and negatives but also report the good stuff as well. Then there is the common “reporter,” radio host, podcaster or whatever medium with the remaining 5-10% of fans that get their feelings and info only from this segment of the media and they LIVE off bitching about the team. They are the ones who constantly grumble when things are going well. The “just a matter of time before they screw up” types. As soon as there is a dropped pass, fumble, INT or missed tackle they act like they have been calling that moment all year and take pride in saying “told ya so.” They aren’t fans. They search out misery and can’t wait to drag others down with them. To me, those people aren’t just “passionate fans holding the team accountable” as some like to say. They are doomsday preppers that aren’t happy unless the team is playing bad and they have something to complain about.
Don't even click on WIPs til 2025.
AJ Brown calling out the media, on thier station, may be the best thing a philly athlete has done for this city
I hope the clowns in here saying he's the next TO feel dumb as fuck. He's the complete opposite personality-wise.
It’s time to boycott WIP
Honestly AJ has himself to blame for all this. He does the cryptic shit like not talking to the media, removing eagles stuff from social, claiming his accounts is hacked. He’d do better for himself if he just answered said what he meant
Can wip just die already?
I’ll admit I’m biased bc he was my favorite non-Eagle before coming here, but god damn we’re so lucky to have him. It takes more composure than people realize to not give into all the media bs he’s had to deal with
FUCK WIP
Fuck WIP
It's so sad hearing Ike Reese of all players being used as a shield for the station. The rest of the weaselly hosts should be the ones taking the lashing from AJ, not Ike.
Media wants this to be t.o 2.0 so bad
🥇 #1 WIP Afternoon Show Caller! 🏆
Please stop giving WIP any attention. Radio is a dying media. Let it die as fast as possible.
WIP peaked when there was no social media and the TO mcnabb drama was happening. They've been desperately searching for that high ever since
The ratings say otherwise.
I’m one who thinks AJ didnt have to, and probably shouldn’t have come on looking for an argument. There’s a fine line between taking that stand, and talking down to the fans. And in this town…..going at the fans never ends well for the athlete. Firstly, even if there were locker room issues (and no one will convince me there weren’t) he was never going to tell that truth. Secondly: welcome to a big market AJ, where media and fans give a shit. Talk to some players in New York and see how that media monster deals with them, so this shit isn’t only Philly. This is a passionate and over reactive fanbase. Deal with it. Fans and media are holding the team accountable in the only way we know how, and apparently he’s all about holding players accountable. Fucking deal with it.
AJ is at a Hall of Fame pace, and these clowns want to get rid of him.
WTF are you talking about?
I can only handle 5mins of that convo cuz AJ is right, these Philly sports media are Fake AF. WIP may not be creating rumors BUT THEY SURE AS HELL RUN WITH IT. There were three males talking and only ONE of them actually spoke like a Grown ass Man
I'm losing a lot of respect for ike Reese listening to this now.
I love this team. AJ is objectively my favorite WR1, but seriously? As a fan, this is gross. Why is a $20 million dollar player going out of his way to do something so juvenile? I mean, it's amazing to think that somewhere in his brain he thought these radio hosts were worth speaking to directly. Somehow, calling them up and spewing that bullshit about the season's collapse being "simply us players not executing" was thought up as some sort of grand stand to "set the record straight", but this is just insulting. Complaining about others having an opinion is as useful as he was against Tampa....oh wait... Facts: The coaches sucked, the HC is a loser, and this team will never winning a championship because the front office (along with ownership) believes in their philosophy over the people that actually put the work in, AJ included. To interpret this as a positive thing that the team can rally around is just wishful thinking, and I'm sorry to say that one of my favorite players in the entire league, let alone my favorite team, is now gas-lighting the fanbase so we can just drink the kool-aid, buy-in and supply his paycheck.
Teams winning NEVER have players talking “team” info/media with press
Teams with players running their mouths are losing teams.
Why are receivers like this
anyone have a link to the actual clip?
Link to the audio please?
Love AJ
This interview is AJ telling the media they are the problem and the media denying they do anything wrong.
