Confusion emerges concerning whether A.J. Brown is trolling Philly media on Twitter

AJ BROWN Eagles Philly Nick Sirianni Jeff Kerr Rocky Balboa NFL Philadelphia

The Eagles haven’t played a game in almost 40 days, but one of the NFL’s most popular teams remains in the news for the wrong reasons.

News about Philadelphia’s NFL team always moves the needle, and over the past three weeks, it’s been nonstop fodder and embarrassing scenarios.

Whether it be the overhauled coaching staff, rumors about Jalen Hurt’s temperament, or Nick Sirianni’s inability to manage his temper without Dom DiSandro, the Eagles are engulfed in a circus of celebrity gossip and hit pieces.

The latest confusion centers around A.J. Brown’s Twitter/X page and whether or not Philadelphia’s All-Pro pass catcher is controlling his tweets after a post criticizing Eagles media was sent out.

The @1kalwaysopen_ social media page has 260,000 followers, and it’s the account most media members and fans view as credible whenever Brown supposedly sends out a Tweet.

The confusion ratcheted up even more when Brown hopped on Instagram and denied sending out the Tweet while stating that whoever made the comments was accurate and “cooking” with his thoughts.

Social media reacts to everything, and the new drama surrounding Brown should carry us into the free agent frenzy.
