Today that includes an “Instagram Famous” woman gets kicked off a plane and a man is suing the hospital where he watched his wife have a C-Section… Here are her stories from today.
Morgan Osman, who is part of the “Bad Girls Club,” a reality show that follows around wannabes in Los Angeles, was recently kicked off her flight over the weekend. All for creating quite the disturbance. Cell phone video has surfaced of the whole scene. The 35 year old Instagram model can be seen arguing with other passengers while trying to grab her bags to get off the plane. She told several passengers to “F-off” as she was walking toward the exit. But the part of the video that is getting the most heat is when she screams, “Film me, I’m Instagram famous, you f******g bum!” The other passengers can be seen chuckling as she threw around more bad language as she left the plane. There’s no word on what caused the scene or why she was so upset.

A man in Australia is suing a hospital saying that he was allowed to watch his wife’s C-section operation and therefore has caused him to experience “psychotic illness” and also led to a “breakdown of his marriage.” Anil Koppula is therefore seeking $642 million in damages because of it. The lawsuit says that Koppula was encouraged to watch his wife’s delivery and he saw his wife’s internal organs and blood. So he’s suing for $642 million in damages. But a C-section is still birth of a child, so many family members want to be in the operating room to be there when their child is taken from the womb. This guy evidently suffered too much from that.

Week 3 Power Rankings Round Up- Eagles Are Still An Elite Team
Two weeks in, and the Eagles are still undefeated. An honor they share with 8 other teams heading into week 3. Joining them are the Cowboys, Niners, Commanders, Buccaneers, Ravens, Falcons, Saints, and Dolphins. An improvement after only 6 teams were 2-0 heading into week 3 last season. All 6 of those teams made the playoffs, two made the Superbowl, and 2 made the second round of the playoffs. 63.8% of teams that have started 2-0 since 1990 went on to make the playoffs. A good place for the Eagles to be in. Despite some early season issues, they are still undefeated and put up 34 points in their last win.
So why are so many acting like the Eagles are in trouble? Yes, Jalen Hurts hasn't looked himself through two games. But shouldn't that be a sign that the team can be even better than they have been? Once Hurts finds his groove, the offense can be even better. There are some injuries, but every team has injuries, and only the Maddox one seems to be long-term.
With high expectations comes increased scrutiny. And if they had blown one of these two games, it would be understandable for people to be as annoyed. But they won both games and looked better in week 2. It feels like the scrutiny is larger than it should be.
But does the National Media agree? Do the people outside of Philly understand that they are still a very talented team? Or are they overreacting to the first two weeks of the season? It is perhaps a little bit of both. The Eagles are still in the top 4 of every Power Ranking, at least the ones I looked at. But we are seeing the early season darlings, like the Cowboys, Dolphins, and Niners passing them in many of these power rankings.
Here is where the Eagles fell in the various Week 3 Power Rankings:
The Athletic- 3 (Previously- 6)
Jalen Hurts has not been himself yet this season. And they are still 2-0. He showed signs of life in the 2nd half, making a few nice throws, including two that should have gone for TDs to AJ Brown. But a bad penalty by Rashaad Penny and a missed DPI on the following play prevented both from being TDs. It is still way too early to be worried about him.
ESPN- 3 (Previously- 2)
ESPN's theme for their power rankings this week was talking about the biggest contract issue for each team. And yeah, Reddick will eventually want a raise. But at least for now, he is not raising a fuss about it. It could be a bigger deal in the offseason.
NFL Network- 3 (Previously 3)
The last thing I am worried about is the O-Line. They have more than proved themselves. And it was the O-Line leading the way in the run game, creating huge holes, that Swift was quickly hitting to gain huge yards.
CBS- 3 (Previously 2)
They haven't looked great overall, but individual aspects have looked great. Like Jalen Carter, who is 3rd in the league in QB pressures despite only playing half the snaps. Or the running game coming to life. Or Devonta Smith being on his way to a career year. They made enough improvements in week 2 that there is not much reason to worry, yet.
USA Today- 2 (Previously 2)
Other than the Dolphins, the Eagles should be heavy favorites in all of their games until week 9 vs the Cowboys. Does that mean they will go 6-0? No. We saw last year they blew a game to the Commanders that they should have won easily. But it shows that they should have some cushion while they work out early-season issues.
Yahoo Sports- 2 (Previously- 2)
AJ Brown will be fine, and that sideline argument is the most overblown story of the week. WRs are all a little bit crazy, but Brown is close friends with Hurts and is one of the best WRs in the league. Don’t be surprised if there is a huge night from him in week 3.
Sports Illustrated- 4 (Previously 4)
The Eagles can run on anyone. They put up 34 points without their pass offense clicking. Once that happens, the Eagles will have the best offense in the league. The only question will be if an injury-stricken defense can hold up.
Pro Football Talk- 4 (Previously 3)
More great analysis from Mike Florio. We may never know what Mike Florio thinks is missing because he can’t be bothered to write more than two words. Usually on Power rankings, every team has a paragraph written about them, and I just pull a few key sentences. Here I had to copy everything Florio wrote because he didn't write anything.
Pro Football Network- 3 (Previously 1)
Injuries are the one actual concern you can fairly overreact to after one week. Avonte Maddox is a big hole to fill. It may be best to put James Bradberry into the slot, then Josh Jobe on the outside, rather than trust Mario Goodrich. Also of course they are not as talented as a year ago. Last year’s defense had more talent than any Eagles defense since the Buddy Ryan era. But they still have tons of talent where it matters most, the D-Line and Cornerback room.
97.5 The Fanatic- 1 (Previously 1)
It's incredibly weird people complained all weekend about the Eagles' offense after they put up 34 points. They haven't played their best, yet still scored 34, and that is a bad thing? Colin is right, there has been nothing in the first two weeks that should make people think this team is not still a Super Bowl favorite.
Overview
The Eagles still came in as the 3rd best team on most sites. 4 Sits moved them down the rankings, one pushed them up, and 5 kept them where they already had them. But the lowest they came in at any site was 4. There are just a lot of people overreacting to the Cowboys beating two bad teams, and the 49ers beating two mediocre teams. It is still early, too early to overreact to anything we have seen thus far.
