Media continues to harp on AJ Brown trade talks, now Jeffrey Lurie is getting involved

AJ Brown trade talk has become one of those stories the sports media, for better or worse, refuses to let die, especially in this city. If there is even a whiff of a rumor, everyone in the building is going to get asked about it over and over again until people are satisfied, which, apparently, is never.

It does not seem to matter what anyone with the Eagles says or how many times they say he is not going anywhere, it keeps coming up. The whole thing has reached the point where some media members seem trapped in a permanent AJ trade spiral. They cannot get out of it. Nick Sirianni and Howie Roseman both said at the annual owners meeting that AJ Brown is an Eagle, and somehow people still twisted that into meaning the exact opposite.

That is not even an exaggeration. ESP literally said it, word for word, on camera.

Both Howie Roseman and Nick Sirianni have been in unison in their messaging:

“AJ Brown is part of the team”

But I think we all know that means the exact opposite — AJ will be traded

Being here in Arizona it sure seems like life without AJ on the Eagles has begun: pic.twitter.com/bzV1HYlxum

This is genuinely a sickness, and one I hope these morons eventually recover from.

Anyway, the AJ questions have now made their way to the boss’ desk, Jeffrey Lurie. As expected, he stuck to the company line.

Jeffrey Lurie: “AJ Brown is an Eagle”

Here’s the full answer from Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie when asked about A.J. Brown trade talks:

I’m genuinely curious what asking the same question over and over again is supposed to accomplish. They are never going to get the answer they want. And because so many of these reporters want the AJ Brown stuff to be true, they start “reading between the lines” and forcing every response to fit the conclusion they already decided on. It is lazy, it is transparent, and it is not good journalism.

It is rage-bait media dressed up as due diligence. “I’m just doing my job” is probably what every one of these people tells themselves when they ask the AJ Brown question again. No, you are not. You are falling in line because the profession seems to demand total obedience to the same stale view of this city, where the fanbase is supposedly always one second away from wanting somebody’s head on a silver platter. That is not really how it works. I would know. I am a fan.

Are Eagles fans demanding? Of course. But at least from my perspective, I know these players are human beings. They hurt the same way you hurt. They bleed the same way you bleed. They are not any different from you. So when people drag a player’s name through the mud just to justify a trade narrative they created themselves, not from the team’s perspective but from their own journalistic one, that is not just bad journalism. It is unethical. It is pure weasel behavior.

This kind of stuff always brings me back to Allen Iverson’s infamous practice press conference, which, if we are being honest, was never really about practice. It was about the media dragging his name through the mud one year after he won MVP.

If you have never watched the full interview, it is worth your time. Maybe one day AJ Brown will give them the same treatment.
