It was real Shady on NFL Network today, and not just because LeSean McCoy was on. The former Eagle let everyone know exactly how he feels about the city of Philadelphia and his former coach, Chip Kelly.
“I got a lot of love for Philadelphia now that the little short coach is with the kids where he belongs,” McCoy said.
Kelly, who had a tremendous amount of success at Oregon before being signed by the Eagles, is back in the collegiate ranks with the “kids” after signing a big-money deal with UCLA. The beef between McCoy and Kelly goes back to Kelly’s tenure in Philly, but Shady still cheers for the Eagles, as seen on his Instagram story last week when he was at the game with former Eagles teammate Jeremy Maclin.
After his fourth 1,000-plus yards rushing season in 2013, McCoy was shipped to Buffalo for Kiko Alonso, a move that did not sit well with many, including McCoy himself. Alonso was later traded to Miami after one disappointing season for the Birds. McCoy has had a great deal of success over the past three seasons with the Bills and was selected to his fourth straight Pro Bowl this year.
Let’s hope Shady is happy once again for his former team after today’s game at the Linc.
