Being a champion has its privileges. So does being the best at what you do. Check both boxes for Philadelphia Eagles vice president and general manager Howie Roseman.
He's a Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee in the making. He's the architect of two championship-winning Eagles teams, the 2017-18 Birds and the 2024-25 Eagles who hoisted the second Vince Lombardi Trophy in franchise history last season.
How's that for a couple of mouthfuls? How about this for another? It feels like he's just getting started, but his place in the hearts of Philly sports fans is already secure.
When he's done, he'll never have to pay for a beer or a meal in the City of Brotherly Love again, unless he wants to. Let's hope he doesn't decide he's done until a long time from now.
Eagles OTAs are underway, and after a long day at work, he took some well-deserved time off to hang out at a Philadelphia Phillies game and bask in some of that well-deserved glory.
Sometimes, it's easy to wonder if Howie knew all of this was possible when Chip Kelly dealt him a bad hand. Maybe we ought to ask him that when we see him. When most would have thrown the towel in, Philly's GM endured, and thank Heaven he did. Where would this organization be without his efforts?
Life hasn't been better as an Eagles fan than this. It seems like Howie has it all going. He gets along well with players. He has a nice eye for talent. He juggles the salary cap like a math wiz. It seems the only thing he can't do is throw a 90-mile-an-hour fastball.
Great job, Howie! And, it appears Zack Wheeler doesn't have anything to worry about for the time being. Neither do the Birds. Roseman won't be quitting his day job, and the Phils won't be changing the starting pitching rotation anytime soon!
