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.

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.

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."

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

**** 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
