The Philadelphia Eagles are facing growing outrage and cheating accusations over the controversial Tush Push (a.k.a. The Brotherly Shove), after replays show multiple false starts and illegal offensive line alignments that the refs plainly ignored. Doug Kezirian digs into some revealing photos, and asks: is this unstoppable short-yardage play just smart football, or are the Eagles actually cheating the system with this loophole? Fans, coaches, and even rival players are calling out the NFL for turning a blind eye.

Meanwhile, the league faces criticism for blatant hypocrisy: the NFL let some teams honor Charlie Kirk with a moment of silence, while years ago, Colin Kaepernick’s peaceful kneeling protest was condemned and cost him his career. Why does the league enforce rules one way in one situation and completely differently in another?

"It all comes down to consistency. Fans just want rules enforced the same way—no double standards." – Doug
