Walker’s Philadelphia cheesesteak mockery
Several Philly tourists not amused with Scott Walker crashing their lunch. Overheard: “Stand in line with the rest of us.” “Who is that?” — Jenna Johnson (@wpjenna) July 28, 2015 This is silly but sometimes you just gotta stop, smell the roses, and indulge in some mockery of Scott Walker’s cheesesteak choices.

Who is Jay Glazer and why should Eagles fans care?
Jay Glazer, now 46 years old, is an American senior writer for FoxSports.com and has been the NFL Insider for NFL on Fox since 2004. He is also a business partner with Randy Couture in MMAthletics based in Las Vegas, Nevada at Xtreme Couture Training Center. Glazer trains NFL players in Mixed Martial Arts at their Los Angeles location during the off-season. Glazer hosts UFC shows for FOX Sports, including weigh-ins and pre/post coverage.
Glazer began his writing career as a reporter at the New York Post in New York City. He worked his way up within the Post organization by developing access to players and agents. He also wrote articles for the Giants Newsweekly produced by longtime New York Giants correspondent Dave Klein. Among his first sources were NFL agent Jimmy Sexton’s New York representative Peter Flach. Through Flach he became friendly with New York Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn and New York Jets cornerback Aaron Glenn. Through Sehorn he also became close with current Hall of Fame Fox analyst and former Giant Michael Strahan. Through Strahan he became close with Fox Sports anchor Curt Menefee. UFC President Dana White has stated in multiple interviews that Glazer is one of the nicest people he’s ever met and he considers him a personal friend. Glazer has appeared in several Subway commercials with NASCAR driver Carl Edwards.
His acting appearances include:
The Game Plan (2007) as Hack Pack;
The Longest Yard (2005) as Sportswriter;
The League (2014) as Himself;
Ballers (2015) as Himself…
So what the heck does this guy have to do with the current Philadelphia Eagles roster?
If you’ve been following Tommy Lawlor at IgglesBlitz.com you would know…
“Robert Klemko wrote a terrific piece for MMQB on Jay Glazer and the offseason training he does with NFL players, including Lane Johnson, Zach Ertz, DeMarco Murray and John Moffit.
“A typical day at Unbreakable consists of an unorthodox hip-focused stretching session with David Honorel (inspired, he says, by the movements of bears, crocodiles, frogs and gorillas), speed training with Liggin, weight training with an emphasis on safety, MMA work including boxing, wrestling and hand fighting with Glazer, Evans, Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner John Lewis and former UFC stars Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture. Glazer co-owns the gym with Brian Urlacher and Lindsey Berg, an Olympic volleyball player who now plays professionally overseas. Their faces are painted on a gym wall with the word “Unbreakable”, but it’s Glazer who runs the show, transforming fighting drills into football drills.”
“John Moffitt, the former Denver Broncos guard and now potential Eagles starter, came to Glazer after a nearly two-year hiatus from the sport during which he admits to letting his body go to a degree. He weighed 283 pounds, down from his playing weight of 320, and had the biggest gut of his life. The initial sessions were exhausting. Today he’s back above 300 pounds and slimmer than he was at 283.
“You keep hearing him say, ‘neutral face’ or ‘get your hands off your hips,’ ” Moffitt says of Glazer. “It’s very annoying when you first start that, but after a while it makes you stronger. It makes you used to being tired and used to being in pain and you don’t fight it anymore so it makes you more resilient. It just stacks on itself, on itself, on itself, to where you become a stronger individual.”
“Glazer’s training can have a major impact on the Eagles.
BGN compiled some terrific Tweets from Glazer on Moffit:
“I have never been so proud of a guy I’ve trained than I am of John Moffitt. Retired two years ago because he knew he had drug issues, took time to go to rehab, clean up his life, beat his demons and he has taken his life back! Guy inspires us every day. He came to me 3 months ago @unbreakable to train to take his career back. He’s become the favorite of every player in our gym. He officially un-retired today. Free agent starting guard. So proud of him to get here.”
“Amazing how this guy took his life back. He’s taught us in the gym a bunch about beating your demons.”
“In these past months Moffitt has been training with us we’ve also had guys like Steve Hutchinson, Shaun O’Hara & Jackie Slater come work with him.”
“Re: Moffitt, anyone who COMMITS to improving & righting his wrongs should be applauded. Life is about overcoming & improving. So proud of him.”
“Getting a little misty. Today we sent John Moffitt off to Philly. Three months of complete dedication. He showed us bad decisions CAN be overcome by better ones.”
Well how you liking dem apples?
By the way, this is the guy who has been helping to convert Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson’s extra body fat into muscle over the past five months. I would say the proof is in the pudding… but there is no more pudding left in Johnson’s physique.

WI Supreme Court “went well beyond what any court has ever held in opening the floodgates to secret money in politics”
Brendan Fischer of PRWatch was recently interviewed by Janine Jackson of Fair.org. A couple of exerpts: JJ: Well, it sounds as though the charge was that Walker actively sought to skirt finance laws and that the ruling is: Yes, he did, but it’s OK? I mean, help us to understand exactly what happened here. BF: That’s about right. more »

Trump nails Walker on crumbling roads, deficit, underfunded education, Common Core flip-flops
Times are strange when you’re pleased to hear from Donald Trump, eh? What’s really wild is not only do I enjoy hearing Trump slam Walker, I have to admit that Trump is essentially telling the truth about the state of affairs in Wisconsin and about Walker’s flip-flops on Common Core. Donald Trump says he wasn’t more »
