Eagles great Jason Peters spoke to reporters for the first time since joining the Dallas Cowboys practice squad.
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has been heaped with praise for the way he upgraded his football team this offseason. The Birds look like a real deal playoff team, and Roseman seems to have a good and sustainable vision for the future.
Meanwhile down in Dallas, Cowboys owner and general manager is preparing for Week 1 by talking crazy on the radio.
Jerry Jones made his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan's Shan & RJ show Tuesday, and he unspooled an absolutely baffling string of words that I need some help with.

Here's how the interaction went down Tuesday morning:
"HOST: Jerry, I know you're very optimistic by nature. Is your optimism for this year the same as it is every year?
"JONES: Well, let me just address the first way you stated the question without any issue on it. I have to believe 1 and 1 is 3. I can't operate where 1 and 1 is 2. We all know it is, physically, but the 3 is where you have to go. Now you have to have optimism to operate out in that world, and commit, and do things when you've got to count on 1 and 1 being 3. I'm not trying to play games, but that's where the biggest payoffs are, is out there. It's there for everybody to grab, if 1 and 1 is 2. So here you go."

I uh...
...what?
Jerry, you're gonna need to focus bud. Football is nearly here. You can't be getting metaphysical in September. That's what, I don't know, February 22nd is for.
Although if Jerry wants to keep going on and musing about his out-of-the-box brilliance and vision, he can feel free. Keep trading Amari Cooper out of the division (and conference) at 28 years old. 1 and 1 is 3. Sure.
I think Eagles fans should be very excited about who's in charge of their team, and Cowboys fans should probably be a little concerned about who's in charge of theirs.
The Birds and the Boys meet on October 16. Can't wait.
