Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie on the "aesthetics" of the Brotherly Shove and whether it's a "football" play.
"You know what? I remember reading about the forward pass and they said it really is an odd play that is no part of American football. So, it was controversial when the forward pass came out. I think aestheticism is very subjective. I've never judged whether a play looks okay. Does a screen pass look better than an in route or an out route? I don't know. To me it's not a very relevant critique that it doesn't look right or something like that. I don't know. What looks right? Scoring. We like to win and score. "
PALM BEACH, Fla. - #Texans foundation vice president Hannah McNair on feeling team was close last season to making Super Bowl run: 'I really thought we were going to go all the way this year, and I felt it in every part of me, and you could feel it from the team, they believed it as well, and the belief is throughout the organization. When we lost in Kansas City, that hurt a lot because we were right there and I thought we were going. It was just a belief throughout the organization.'
Cal McNair: 'We had some key injuries down the stretch there. Especially our wide receiver room, that caused a bit of a blip there. We had a strong running game, receiver room, quarterback playing at a high level, defense playing outstanding, and so with the offense clicking, defense going, we thought we really had a shot. So, we're looking forward to this season and seeing what happens.'

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie says they are for health and safety, but he doesn't "think there is any" data that suggests the tush push is causing injuries.
"If it weren't (safe), we wouldn't be pushing the tush push."
"It's hard to make rules on could-be's and should-be's."
