Chip Kelly has been busy revolutionizing the Philadelphia Eagles. I think it was Lenin who said all revolutions have casualties. The first casualty in Chip Kelly's revolution was Mexican cuisine. Kelly banned "Taco Tuesdays," a staple of the Andy Reid regime (why are you laughing?). It's all protein shakes everything up in Philadelphia now. The second casualty was music. The whole thing. Music is dead. Chip killed it.

This should turn out well for Chip. lol

[WV]

With all the hype surrounding him, he begs to be rooted against.

[Sassy Squatch]

You bastard...

[tooge]

I remember Kansas City rejoicing when Pioli came here and started cleaning up the mess. That turned out real well.

[KCUnited]

I have a hard time believing Andy had just one day dedicated to tacos.

[Rasputin]

Pooptaco quote the loochey no more

[mikey23545]

Hey Chippy...You're not shoving college kids around anymore...

[Rasputin]

Good luck getting URFA next year Chip.


Killing the music bad idea

Killing Taco Tuesday bad idea

[Lex Luthor]

What a great way to start out as head coach.

This does sound pretty familiar. Is he going to go postal over a candy wrapper next?

I suspect the Eagles are going to find out that hiring a head coach who never played in the NFL and has never even been an assistant coach in the NFL is a pretty risky proposition.

[chefsos]

He's going to take away all this stuff now, and give 'em some other stuff later. It'll work, too.

[MahiMike]

"we want our tacos! we want our tacos! we want our tacos! we want our tacos! we want our tacos!"

waa! waa! waa!

[mcaj22]

killing music is a VERY bad idea lol

[Rasputin]

killing music is a VERY bad idea lol

I think so. People move to music it creates a jive in the soul so him taking that away only hurts his players motivation.

i find it hard to believe there is no music in a locker room or weight room or guys that use music to study playbooks, etc

pretty much a driving motivator, i think all teams facilities let the players jam music

hell i have never been to a gym that never has had music playing.

there's no way he eliminates that lol

[Sassy Squatch]

Can understand the tacos but music? Seems sort of silly.

[Stad]

Tacos? alright. But music??? that is fucking ridiculous ROFL.

[Setsuna]

Not to be stereotypical but black people and music go hand in hand. That's a horribad idea. And in general players use music to amp themselves up for a game. Now unless he meant music as in music that can be heard by everyone then that's fine. They all can afford Ipods and stuff to personally listen to it before games. It's probably not banned for personal music devices.

[Pepe Silvia]

How dare this prick ban tacos. This is America, if you don't like tacos then you can just get the fuck out.

[tooge]

Ironic that his first name is "chip"

[Pepe Silvia]

Ironic that his first name is "chip"

Maybe hes more of a Nacho guy?

[007]

Tacos? alright. But music??? that is ****ing ridiculous ROFL.

Thats devil music.

[tooge]

Andy Reid is probably one of those people that order the taco salad because they are trying to eat more healthy

[Bump]

I remember when one place that I worked at banned music all of the sudden after we always had music going. Corporate ****s came in and decided listening to the radio might hurt productivity since he saw a couple of happy employees singing along.

Then a guy was whistling a song and he immediately stopped the whistling.

It made us really hate our jobs even more.

never trust a grown man who is named after a food product

[RealSNR]

First they came for Michael Vick, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't Michael Vick

First they came for the Tacos, and I didn't speak out because Mexican food makes me gassy

Then they came for the Music, and I didn't speak out because I work better in an environment without distractions

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me

[Groves]

"There goes the last DJ."

[MotherfuckerJones]

We had music last year.

[BlackHelicopters]

What kind of a country do we live in?

[Demonpenz]

He's going to pull someones scholorship

[Deberg_1990]

With all the hype surrounding him, he begs to be rooted against.

Heh pretty much. I keep getting this feeling he's going to be another Steve Spurrier in the NFL.

[Nickel D]

When he cuts dancing in the endzone, then..AND ONLY THEN..will he make John Lithgow's Reverend Shaw Moore (from the movie "Footloose") look like a wild party animal!

[Eyemsougly]

With all the hype surrounding him, he begs to be rooted against.

Exactly. I would have hated anybody that came after Andy but I find this chump particularly detestable. The Philly fans already worship him.

The guy is a clown and I hope he fails but there is so much talent on the Eagles offense that it is hard to see them not winning at least 8 games though.

you're a talented poster.

[Cannibal]

It said they had "Fast Food Friday" which was also banned.

I can understand banning the fatties from eating fast food.

[Thig Lyfe]

Meanwhile, Andy Reid is starting Fried Fish Tuesday, Fried Shrimp Wednesday, Chicken Finger Thursday, Hushpuppy Friday, and Coleslaw Saturday.

[Consistent1]

Seems pretty stupid. Sure, some players might be somewhat overweight, but most need a ton of calories. Why kill off a team hangout event? I would love to hear the actual explanation for it.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Chipoli!

As usual on the Planet, nobody read the actual article.

He didn't stop or kill music. He changed the playlist to something he likes.

And for a coach that is expected to run a high tempo offense people are surprised he wants them eating healthy instead of junk food?

[nychief]

i'm going to be very curious to see how this goes in Philly...

[Chief Roundup]

His playlist consists of
Panama by Van Halen
Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran
New Day by 50 cent, Dr. Dre, Alicia Keys
No Way Back by Foo Fighters
Stronger by Kanye West
Black Betty by RamJam
Rock You Like A Hurricane by Scorpions
Chasing the Sun by The Wanted
Hero by Nas, Keri Hilson
I'm Shipping Drog Up To Boston by Dropkick Murphys
What Is Love by Haddaway
Chasing Summers

[Pasta Little Brioni]

He'll flame out soon enough

[Chiefnj2]

Chief fans throwing rocks at a new head coach who actually drafted a possible QBOTF.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

In the 4th round??? LMAO Suuuuure

Sounds like an Arrowhead tailgate party with protein shakes instead of beer and BBQ. I bet he makes them drive muscle cars, pickup trucks and green painted short buses to practice as well.

[boogblaster]

prolly have dancing tacos on the trainin table this year .....

Eagles' Red Meat Story Untrue, Overblown
Published May 18, 2013
By Walter Cherepinsky - @walterfootball

It was reported by certain outlets last week that Chip Kelly banned red meat and the beloved Taco Tuesdays from the Eagles' cafeteria. I've spoken to a reliable source who told me those reports aren't completely true.

"There's still red meat there, and they even served fried chicken the day after the report was made," the source told me.

Also, there are stacks of delicious cookies still available that the players take by the handful. My source wasn't sure if the Taco Tuesday report was accurate or not, though he did inform me that many were bummed out when they initially heard the news/rumor.

Having said that, Kelly is definitely trying to help the players be more mindful of their diet. The spoons in the cafeteria now say what serving size they are. Kelly is also making sure that the players have as much information as possible about maintaining a good diet.

Even stuff as simple as that is a much radical change from what Reid used to do. My source told me that Reid would bring countless boxes of Popeye's fried chicken on plane rides and hand them out to the players.

"I didn't get an exact number," my source said when I asked him how many boxes of fried chicken Reid brought aboard the plane. "I think he got a box for everybody."

[The Iron Chief]

I guess this means Pepto Wednesdays are out then.
Whats next???

Chicken is not red meat. Popeyes is the worst chicken it sucks BAD.

Uh no. That would be Churches.

Fuck you Chip Kelly.

[TribalElder]

I read somewhere that chip mentioned there is science behind the playlist. I believe something to do with the tempo. The taco thing is no surprise with chip wanting to bring more diet awareness to the team. The personalized shakes and what not might seem silly but all this stuff could go either way. We laugh at this right now but Kelly might be the next innovator of the nfl. You either innovate or imitate. It will be interesting watching how this plays out. If it works expect copycats.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

I thought tuesdays were all NFL players offical day off. They must be eating taco at home.

[CoMoChief]

When they're in KC they should just head up the road to Dixon's Chili and eat their tacos.

They're mmm mmm good. Great drunk food too btw.

[Bob Dole]

Given the amount of calories these athletes burn when they are actively working, Bob Dole has a hard time believing there is any harm in a Taco Tuesday.

That said, any new leader will change some traditions established by the previous regime, even to the point of simply changing the name of something.

[RunKC]

And here our guys are eating the hell out of some munchies at Twin Peaks.

https://vine.co/v/bEld2nxKPvb

I've got no problem with it as long as they are in shape come September.

As long as it's real and lean beef, fresh real veggies as toppings, it's probably healthier than most meals they eat. of course I'm not talking quantity, but like what the Bob Dole says, they burn so much energy it's not gonna matter. Fisher could gain some extra lbs too to be honest.

Explains why they hired Priest Holmes as running backs coach!!!!!

The irony is Chip Kelly obviously hasn't missed any meals.
