Hopefully you were able to get your milk, eggs and bread before you were snowed in for the weekend. And hopefully, unlike me, you know how to properly utilize those necessities for a few days.
Here are some Eagles-related articles trending around the internet to get your weekend started.
Six players the Eagles must move on from in 2016? — FOX Sports
FOX Sports named six players who the Eagles should part ways with this off-season, some obvious, some not.
Perhaps the most noteworthy was Brent Celek, who will have his 31st birthday on Monday, and has accumulated just shy of 5,000 yards receiving in his nine seasons with the team.
On the surface, the Eagles can save $5 million by releasing him and even if he was willing to restructure, they may just be better off allocating the resources currently being used towards Celek somewhere else.
The only thing that would be concerning about releasing Celek is that the Eagles released Trent Cole and Todd Herremans last off-season, let Jeremy Maclin walk in free-agency and could also move on from Jason Peters and DeMeco Ryans this off-season. There's something to be said for building a new culture, Chip Kelly pun aside, under a new coaching regime, but that doesn't mean that it isn't dangerous to get rid of a majority of the the veteran leaders in a locker-room in a two-season span.
If not Sam Bradford for the Eagles, who? — Philadelphia Daily News
Mike Kern of the Daily News makes a case that many Eagles fans are currently attempting to do.
While he's correct in saying that Bradford is the best available option in the league right now and the draft is less than inspiring, that's not a reason to give someone $40 million guaranteed.

People are looking at this situation incorrectly. If you believe Bradford will — not could if you build an all-time great defense — lead the Eagles to a Superbowl, then they should pay him. If not, then maybe you don't bring him back and you start someone less talented for a year or two. That's not tanking, it's being financially smart. And if the Eagles happen to get into a better draft spot because of it, then you saved money and put yourself in a position to land someone that will hopefully be even better than Bradford.
Eagles by the numbers: Frank Reich's resume — Birds 24/7
Adam Herman of Birds 24/7 breaks down some interesting numbers related to new Eagles' offensive coordinator Frank Reich.
Most of the numbers aren't flattering, but some of that has to do with the personnel that he had in San Diego. For example, if you have a borderline hall of fame quarterback and the final season you are an offensive coordinator your team doesn't have a consistent option to run the football, it doesn't look quite as bad when your team ranks last in yards per carry and rushing touchdowns.
It's unclear exactly what Reich's role on the staff will be, but given that he's a former quarterback and was on the Chargers' staff in 2013 when Ryan Mathews had a career-high 1,255 yards, he's an interesting hire.
