What’s Brewing With Jen Includes A Governor Chugging Beer And A Snowboarder Gets Stuck
See what was brewing with Jen Scordo today. Every day on The Best Show Ever? Jen Scordo shares a few recent weird and interesting news stories. Today that includes the Maryland Governor chugs beer and a snowboarder was stuck for fifteen hours on gondola… Here are her stories from today.
The Baltimore Ravens were battling in the AFC Championship game yesterday, they failed to beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, however the Governor of Maryland was on hand. And he was seen chugging beers with tailgaters. Nothing could be more relatable. Maryland Governor Wes Moore mat have a hangover today after tailgating with fellow Ravens fans before the game yesterday. Not only hanging out and enjoying some food, he was seen shotgunning a beer pre-game, all decked out in Ravens gear, too. I love seeing politicians (especially politicians) doing normal everyday things like this, it’s just so relatable. Too bad his hangover today was all for naught.

Snowboarder Stuck On Gondola For Fifteen Hours
After an afternoon of snowboarding on the California-Nevada border, Monica Laso decided to call it a day and take the gondola down the mountain instead of snowboarding down because she was tired. After hopping on the gondola to get down the mountain, the ride just stopped operating leaving her stranded. And she was stranded for fifteen hours in 23 degree weather. She screamed until she almost lost her voice and she didn’t have her cell phone with her. She boarded the gondola at 5pm Thursday evening and was finally rescued Friday morning when the ride started up for the day. The resort put out a statement saying, “The safety and wellbeing of our guests is our top priority at Heavenly Mountain Resort.”

6 Free Agents Who Could Help Fix The Eagles Secondary
CB- Kendall Fuller
Washington didn’t have much good going for them this season, but Fuller was the rare example of something going very well. The one drawback with him is at 28, he is a bit older than many of the guys on this list. But he does have the ability to play in the slot, and even Safety if they feel they need to move him around to extend his career. A younger corner is probably a better option, but Fuller seems to have a lot more good football left in him.
Safety- Kamren Curl
Playing for an irrelevant team in Washington, and being a former 7th-round pick, Curl has slid under the radar. But he is a solid Safety, who can do a bit of everything. Want someone to step up into the box? He can do it. Want someone to drop back in coverage? He can do that too. He is very similar to what Rodney McLeod was when McLeod first joined the Eagles. And after last year, most Eagles fans would kill to have a Safety like McLeod circa 2016.
Safety- CJ Gardner Johnson
Eagles fans are already very familiar with CJ Gardner-Johnson. And while he is far from a perfect player, his playmaking ability was sorely missed by the Eagles. The good news is they have a chance to make up for losing him last year, He is a free agent again. After missing most of the year with an injury, he might be available at a discount once again. There are better safeties in coverage on the market. But what he brings as a playmaker is not to be discounted.
Safety- Xavier McKinney
The Commanders are not the only NFC East Rival who the Eagles can poach talent from. The Giants Xavier McKinney is also on the market. He was tremendous as a cover Safety last season. He held opposing QBs to an elite Passer Rating of 52.1 when targeting him. McKinney allowed 0 TDs and came away with 3 picks. Vic Fangio’s defense relies on having great cover Safeties, and he is one of the best Safeties available in pass coverage. He is no slouch against the run either.
Safety- Jordan Fuller
If they can’t land one of the premium Safeties, Fuller is not a bad backup option. Is he a star? No. But think of him more like Marcus Epps. Epps was nothing special either, but after last season I think we all would have taken him back in a heartbeat. Fuller is a similar caliber of player. The Rams mostly deployed him as a deep Safety. In that role, he came away with 3 picks and only got beat deep a couple of times. Coming away with McKinney or Curl would be preferred. But Fuller would still be an upgrade.
CB- Chidobe Awuzie
Awuzie is a solid corner. He rarely misses a tackle and is reliable in coverage. Is he a star? No. Will he shut down a part of the field? No. But he is a major upgrade over who the Eagles had as their second corner last season. Ideally, they would land Snead or one of the top corners in the draft. But if they cant get Snead, he may be a good insurance policy in case none of the top corners ion the draft fall to 22.
CB- L'Jarius Sneed
The Chiefs defense was elite this year, and L’Jarius Sneed played a huge part in that. He allowed a pass rating against of just 64.5 this season. It was his first year playing predominantly outside after spending most of his career beforehand in the slot. The decision to move him outside paid off.
Update: The Chiefs placed the non-exclusive Franchise Tag on him. So any team interested will now need to work out a trade for him first.
